10. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 FedCloud: Requirements 3 Main Issues –FedCloud “Flavors” Attach an associated priced (in GOCDB) –Currently only wallclock hrs for cloud Ensure accounting quality across all flavors. –Normalisation of accounting data (so that we do not charge apples for oranges) –Storage Accounting SLAs –Ensure resource ‘lifespan’ is included & monitored according to agreed terms If someone is paying, it cannot be longer than agreed (also good practice for resource use) i.e. storage –Needs to include legal liability text Pay-for-Use PoC - EGI FedCloud F2F Amsterdam – 19 Jan 2015 10

11. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 Future Recommendations User-facing graphical interface –All technical development is complete and a design mock-up created To be ready by end of Jan 2015 (based on e-GRANT). Increase automation of varying pricing schemes beyond pay-for-use and packaged services (e-GRANT terminology of “pools”). SLA using EGI templates (based on FitSM) –Only missing legal liability text Ensure FedCloud technical integration Integrate an automated billing function Mature EGI.eu's role as a full central broker –Contractually: EGI.eu currently does not have a VAT number and potentially needs a separate business entity –Pricing model: Registration fee, % of transaction, etc. Align closely with future ‘Marketplace’ activities, which have a very large crossover with the P4U PoC.
