Dear All,
I have a slot in tomorrow's workshop for a talk on the need for
virtualisation and clouds in the GridPP context. I would welcome input
from others. My view would be breifly summarisied as :
- we don't really need it however it is useful.
- outside of clouds it provides agility and resilience
- Clouds are certainly going to play a role in our futures so we need them.
- I was going to give a couple of examples- perhaps our HLT and analysis
and (if Andrew sends me a couple of slides this evening) a vac example.
- I was going to go through some of the problems - accountiong,
fairshare, security
- Anything else.
I will write a few slides tonight but will welcome any thoughts/suggestions.
best,
david
