Open Stack

Hi Salman,

There are some tools available that can orchestrate machines on OpenStack clouds. One example is CloudMan [ http://usecloudman.org/ ], which is used as the engine for Galaxy, a bioinformatics analysis platform.

Users in OpenStack can also manage their own projects where each project can have multiple users that are able to share VM snapshots, which is very useful in a research collaboration context.

And of course there are tools like puppet that can be used to script and automate the launch and control of 1000's of VMs..

Hope this helps,

Steven.

Hi,

My background is relate to grid community. Initiating VMs for individuals make lots of sense but what about to manage stuff at project level? I mean when you have thousands of computation jobs most of them are similar but some have different requirements and you need to some how manage all of them. I am sure there will be some way of starting jobs automatically. With this i mean each job will run in a separate envirnoment . One way is to use job description files and then some management component ....

Can someone please point out some projects have worked or working in this direction using Openstack? I mean submission and management of computational jobs.

Thanks in advance.

Regards....
Salman.
