Dear All
Please note this new EGI security policy. I will add discussion of it to our next ops meeting which is on 20th September (note there is no meeting next week due to people travelling for GridPP27), but feel free to email me with your comments before then.
Many thanks,
Jeremy

> Subject: Review of new EGI Security Policy for the Endorsement and Operation of Virtual Machine Images- comments invited
>
> Dear WLCG colleagues,
>
> The EGI Security Policy Group is happy to announce that a new draft security policy, "Security Policy for the Endorsement and Operation of Virtual Machine Images", is now ready for external review.
>
> This builds on earlier work by the HEPiX Virtualisation Working Group. The draft policy addressing the HEPiX use case has been presented to GDB in the past, but was never taken forward for full approval as we were waiting for more experience of running such VMs. This new policy document extends this earlier work to cover more use cases.
>
> Anyway, many thanks to the HEPiX working group for their earlier draft which for info may still be seen at:
> https://edms.cern.ch/document/1080777
>
> This new document describes the security-related policy requirements for the generation, distribution and operation of virtual machine images on the infrastructure. The aim is to enable VM images to be generated according to best practices and to be both trusted and operated elsewhere. I am keen to seek WLG approval for the new policy once finalised with the general aim of keeping policies the same wherever possible.
