  1. Introduction T. Ferrari/EGI.eu OMB, 17 July 2012

  2. Quarterly Report QR9 • End of EGI-InSPIRE QR9 approaching • May, June, July 2012 • All NGI and SA1 task leaders are requested to provide a report and metrics • NGI reports: https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/NGI_QR_Reports • NGI metrics: http://metrics.egi.eu/

  3. UMD 2 • UMD 2.0 released on 10/07 (http://repository.egi.eu/2012/07/10/release-umd-2-0-0/) • Subset of high priority products (globus-gssapi-gsi new version causing problems to UI, WN, LB and CREAM) • UNICORE TSI, UNICORE Registry 6, UNICORE Gateway 6 • DPM 1.8.3 and StoRM 1.9.0 • LFC 1.8.3 • BDII site 1.1.0 and top 1.0.1 • APEL 3.3.0 • VOMS 2.0.8 • UMD 2.1 expected in early August • Including ARC, UNICORE other products, CREAM, LB, UI and WN

  4. EMIR • EMI 2 service endpoint registry for discovery of Service Endpoints (static information and service metadata) • collection of services that enables storing service records in a federated manner • GLUE 2.0 standard • Deployment: EMIR network over WAN • NGI rooted hierarchy with a single EMIR server aggregating all the information within a federation • Sharing of information at root level among peered EMIR servers • EMI proposing a joint testbed • Use cases to be defined • EMIR will play a role in the long-term evolution of BDII (site and top-BDII functionality will be reduced, after-EMI activity)  architectural document requested

  5. EMI WN testing 1/2 • gLite 3.2 end of security support: 01 October 2012 • EMI 1 WN introduces changes in library paths  changes in the execution environment of the user payload • Various problems encountered by VOs when migrating to EMI 1 WN • Impact of the transition to EMI 1 WN needs to be assessed for a larger number of VOs • NGI coordination of testing needed for • regional VOs • other VOs whose VOMS is affiliated to the NGI

  6. EMI WN testing 2/2 • Proposal • By Sep 07: NGIs to provide information about which VOs are successfully running on EMI 1 WN at a national level • Input collected through wiki • By July 20: broadcast to all VOs to • Provide information about experience with EMI 1 (through GGUS) • Otherwise recommend testing  contact the NGI hosting the VO VOMS

  7. Migration towards SHA2 • IGTF concerns about long-term safety of current SHA-1 encryption algorithm  move to SHA-2 signatures • ALL IGTF CAs should have or get the capability of issuing SHA-2 based certificates by Jan 2013 • EUgridPMA: all CAs MUST implement this a.s.a.p, and report on the implementation of SHA-2 issuing capabilities by October 1, 2012 • EUgridPMArisk assessment of hash function vulnerabilities

  8. RFC 3280 proxy certificates • dCacheand BeStMan(OSG) use JGlobus 1.x, which does not support SHA-2 • JGlobus2.x  support of SHA-2 and only RFC proxies (no Globus legacy proxies being used today • EMI CANL?

  9. SHA-2: EGI plan • EGI document in collaboration with EUgridPMAby end of July explaining problems, EUgridPMA risk assessment activities and actions: • (EMI/IGE/JRA1) Table with SHA-2/RFC proxy compliance information per product • SHA-2/RFC proxy verification added to UMD quality creteria (SA2) • (EGI CSIRT) extension of security nagios with probes for assessment of deployed software • VO software testing solicited

  10. Survey on resource allocation • Different policies at NGI and site level • Many international VOs relying on opportunistic usage of resources • Problem • Better coordinated support of new international VOs • Proposal • Collect information across NGIs about national and site-level existing policies (survey, 07/09) • https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/Operations/Resource_Allocation

  11. NGI operations sustainability 1/2 • Future strategy: EGI in 2020 (PY2 EGI-InSPIREreview)* • “Community funding operates EGI • EC Project funding for innovation & support” • What impact on NGI operational services? • What EGI ”global tasks” are necessary and need to be supported after EGI-InSPIRE? • [*] https://indico.egi.eu/indico/getFile.py/access?contribId=1&resId=0&materialId=slides&confId=1046

  12. NGI operations sustainability 2/2 • Survey • Assessment of impact of end of EC funding for NGI operations and of other national funding models being implemented • Requirements to attract national funding • Assessment of the EGI Global Tasks • Your role with EGI in HORIZON2020 • What types of innovation do you consider important for EGI for which you would like to participate? • Deadline: 07 Sep • Discussion at TF12  D4.7 Sustainability assessment of operational services (Nov 2012)

  13. SA2 Activity Management • SA2 activity manager - Michel Drescher on sick leave • P. Solgna temporarily deputizing Michel until end of August
