There is 24/7 staffing to respond in case of emergency Slide by Eldar Urumbaev

49. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 49 Train the Admin – GEC20 – June 21, 2014 What is Emergency Stop? One of the essential early operational requirements for the GENI facility is the need to manage and coordinate the stop and/or containment of GENI resources among all GENI projects in the case of an urgent request or misbehavior of the GENI experiments. Emergency stop is the system used to respond to incidents of interference or resource exhaustion caused either unintentionally (misconfiguration), or intentionally (malware). The emergency stop system has 3 main goals: To give experimenters and other GENI stakeholders a single place to go for notification of emergency stop issues To facilitate emergency stop with GENI aggregates To provide an easily understood, flexible service that minimizes disruptions for GENI experiments or GENI aggregates 49 Slide by Eldar Urumbaev

50. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 50 Train the Admin – GEC20 – June 21, 2014 These goals are accomplished through two mechanisms: A coordination process to identify related GENI aggregates and/or slices for a given stop request (via GMOC-DB), notify, facilitate communication, verify resolution and report. A last resort isolation mechanism (via Internet2 and NLR Core) to effectively quarantine aggregates with issues from the rest of the GENI infrastructure. What Is Emergency Stop?
