Experimenter Tools and Services: Spiral 1 Capabilities.

[Vicraj Thomas]

A survey of Experimenter Tools and Services from each of the Spiral 1
clusters has been posted at
http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/ExperimentLifecycleDocument/Spir
al1-Capabilities-appendix.pdf.  This survey will be an appendix to the
Lifecycle of a GENI Experiment document that was published and reviewed
earlier this year.

Pl. review this document and email any comments/suggestions you might have
to me and to this mailing list.

Thanks!

Justin,

You bring up a good point about including in the document tools such as those from Million Node GENI.  The plan for this document was to catalog tools and services available from each of the 5 control frameworks for creating slices, provisioning them and running experiments.  We were not thinking of tools from aggregate providers (e.g. Million Node GENI, CMU testbed, Kansei, etc).   Correct me if I’m wrong, but tools from an aggregate will primarily be concerned with programming resources (slivers) from that aggregate and with aggregate specific experiment control functions .  These tools won’t be used to register and authenticate GENI users, create slices, etc.

That said, many of the aggregates coming into GENI (including Million Node GENI) are standalone testbeds in their own right and already have a suite of experimenter tools.  It is a good idea for the Experimenter Workflow Tools and Services WG to look at these tools and borrow concepts/tools from these testbeds.  Perhaps this can be something we discuss at one of the upcoming GECs just as we looked at tools/services from the control frameworks at the last GEC.

Others pl. feel free to chime in with your comments/thoughts.

I don't know if this is intentional or not, but there is a lot of stuff related to Seattle / MillionNodeGENI that isn't included.  

Should it be?

Thanks,
Justin
