2. WP Objectives Identifying the interoperation and integration issues between commercial cloud infrastructures and publicly owned pan-European e-infrastructures for technology and policy issues in order to define a roadmap for their integration with commercial cloud computing resources Specific goals Understanding the interoperation and integration issues around technology and policy between commercial cloud infrastructures and publicly owned e- Infrastructures: GEANT: a pan-European network for the research and education community built on a federation of European National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) EGI: a pan-European federation of resource centres organised into National Grid Initiatives (NGIs) PRACE: a federation of peta-scale and high-end computing centres across Europe EUDAT: a project exploring the data services and support needed in Europe for the European Research Area Helix Nebula - Final Review - WP62

9. Recommendations from P1 review Technical, legal/organisational and semantic (especially on data) interoperability plan should be thoroughly analysed in the second period The reviewers point out the importance of interoperability of cloud solutions with the existing e-infrastructures as a core and critical capability for a smooth integration of new service paradigms in the ERA Notable is the test case with the EGI Federated Cloud foreseen in the second period Recommend to increase the cooperation with e-infrastructure providers (e.g. co- locating workshops, as proved in the first period, could create economies to eventually extend the number of operational events/meetings) Helix Nebula - Final Review - WP69 implementation actions, owner, priority, delivery date and progress till end May; interoperability workshops used to focus on progressing in implementing actions Through the EGI-InSPIRE project, EGI funded the development of an OCCI connector for SlipStream (HN Blue Box); Scheduled in production for HNX 1.1 In total, three out of four workshops where co-located with EGI events EGI Technical Forum, Prague, Sep 2012 Helix Nebula General Assembly, Frascati, Jan 2013 EGI Technical Forum, Madrid, Sep 2013 EGI Community Forum, Helsinki, May 2014 (extra)
