The event gathered together the SIC-CISS community and discussed how to resume the activities and re-build the community after the long break.

...

  • Collaborate with the GN4-3 Community Cloud task to 
    • prototype the operation of services  federated through Community Clouds infrastructures
    • define a common AAI framework for user registration, authentication authorization on Cloud - in compliance with the AARC BPA
    • implement specific applications workflows (of interest for our community) on the Geant Cloud Flow to showcase and promote adoption
    • create a Community Cloud toolkit, enclosing a high level architectural blueprint, ensuring interoperability among different community cloud infrastructures
  • Identify interesting Proof of Concepts on new service/tools/technologies of potential interest for the community
    • E.g.   IRODS,  Persistent Identifiers and Storage Services
  • Start a gap analysis on the missing or critical bits in the provisioning of Cloud services via Community Clouds and define a strategy to overcome current issues
    • e.g.  A full fledged, operational accounting platform
    • e.g. A detailed analysis of the policy, legal, security issues related to running Community Cloud services [  does it already exist anywhere ?]

During the SIG, the NRENs attending decided to propose a BoF on the Community Clouds at the forthcoming TNC22 Conference :  https://bit.ly/sig-bof .

The presentation was followed by Mentimeter session to ask the audience about their point of view on possible coordinated Cloud activities within the SIG.

Many NRENs stated they are providing or planning to provide Cloud-based AAI components:


This showed that there is a very significant potential to share experiences within the SIG, and to fruitfully collaborate on the Cloud.
