ExoGENI – a federation of private cloudsEach site is a micro-cloud or a
cloudlet
Owners are free to continue using native interfaces (e.g. OpenStack)Owners decide what portion of resources to contributeProvides the advantage of
federated
identity, APIs and
inter-provider orchestration mechanisms

ExoGENI software structureSlide5
Current Operations (1/2)Multiple dimensionsExperimenter support
Interfacing with stakeholders (campuses, regionals, national network, GENI operations)
ActivitiesMaintaining existing sitesDebugging issues with sites and inter-site connectivityDeploying new opt-in sites5Slide6
Current Operations (2/2)Relies on two highly qualified peopleManaging and monitoring all ExoGENI sites
Both initial sites and opt-in sites
Interfacing with site personnel for remote eyes/handsMaintaining the full software stack health and software updates (multiple software components)Interfacing with Regional network operators to support ExoGENI inter-site stitchingGPO for new site bring-up, monitoringInternet2 and
ESnet
for inter-site stitching
GMOC for user and site issue resolutionUser support –
assisting experimenters
Debugging problems
Helping find points of contact to assist with resolution

Future outlookSupport ExoGENI during transitionEngage with TIPOFF and FCIC, help form future vision
Continue working with science communities to
Identify and pilot the uses for the developed technologiesCreate new infrastructure federations based on GENI/ExoGENI technologiesE.g. DARPA RADICS7Slide8
