Cloud Telecons 13

3/31/2014 ESIP Cloud Computing Cluster Monthly Telecon Minutes

Cloud Computing Best Practices, Patterns, Use Cases, Reference Architecture, and Prototyping

In addition to keeping the community educated and informed on cloud technologies, we hope to provide documentation on best practices, patterns and reference architectures to this community. There are a lot of interests in looking into Cloud Computing to address our infrastructural needs as well as the vehicle to tackle our Data Intensive Science needs. In preparing for ESIP Summer meeting and to define activities for this cluster for 2015, we are soliciting this community to participate in the following activities.

● Document Cloud patterns and best practices
● Prototyping and Reference Architectures
○ Now June 2014
■ Collect Cloud use cases
■ Community election to rank use cases for prototyping
○ August 2014 Summer 2015
■ Collaborate with ESIP Products and Services on required resources for prototypes
■ Apply best practices and design patterns to render system architectures on selected use cases
■ Develop prototypes
