8. Security Certificates • The project software supports 12 Certification Authorities from the various partners involved in the project • http://marianne.in2p3.fr/datagrid/ca/ca-table-ca.html • For a machine to participate as a Testbed 1 resource allthe CAs must be enabled. • all CA certificates can be installed without compromising local site security • Each host running a Grid service needs to be able to authenticate users and other hosts • site manager has full control over security for local nodes • Virtual Organisation represents a community of users • 6 VOs: 4 HEP (ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, LHCb), 1 EO, 1 Biology Account Registration Usage guidelines EU DataGrid

10. Lessons learnt from testbed 1 • The raw ingredients exist – we just need to be sure of the recipe • Sufficient expertise exists in the different institutes to cover all aspects of the project • Expertise and enthusiasm needs to be channeled using agreed framework • CERN central role underestimated and under resourced • Integration and deployment is a labour intensive task • More planning & WP6 (sw integration) needs reinforcement (especially at CERN) • Better done in small steps using iterative releases • Support by and relationship with Globus developers is very important • International Aspects • Already an international testbed, need to agree plans with US similar activities • Underestimated the administrative effort involved in running an international testbed • Need more emphasis on testing • More unit & integration testing • Middleware WPs need to develop a test-plan (also WP6 for external packages & integration tests) and involved applications from early stage EU DataGrid

11. Iterative Releases • Planned intermediate release schedule • TestBed 1: October 2001 • Release 1.1: January 2002 • Release 1.2: March 2002 • Release 1.3: May 2002 • Release 1.4: July 2002 • TestBed 2: September 2002 • Each release includes • feedback from use of previous release by application groups • agreed high-priority improvements/extensions • use of software infrastructure • feeds into architecture group • Similar schedule will be organised for 2003 EU DataGrid

12. Release Plan . . . . . . . . . Release feedback Release Plan++ WP meetings Software Release Procedure • Coordination meeting • Gather feedback on previous release • Review plan for next release • WP meeting • Take basic plan and clarify effort/people/dependencies • Sw development • Performed by WPs in dispersed institutes and run unit tests • Software integration • Performed by WP6 on frozen sw • Integration tests run • Acceptance tests • Performed by Loose Cannons et al. • Roll-out • Present sw to application groups • Deploy on testbed Coord. meeting themed tech. meets Component 1 Component n WP1 WP7 WP3 Globus EDG release Distributed EDG release testbed 1: Dec 11 2001 ~100 participants Roll-out. meeting EU DataGrid

13. Development & Production testbeds • Development • Initial set of 5 sites will keep small cluster of PCs for development purposes to test new versions of the software, configurations etc. • Production • More stable environment for use by application groups • more sites • more nodes per site (grow to meaningful size at major centres) • more users per VO • Usage already foreseen in Data Challenge schedules for LHC experiments • harmonize release schedules Participating in InterGrid discussions on testbed organisation Antonia Ghiselli, Bob Jones, Francesco Prelz Analysis of interface with US testbeds to be performed by end of April (GriPhyN/PPDG meeting) EU DataGrid

15. Future Plans • Prepare for first project EU review 1st March 2002 (“managed panic”) • Expand testbed • More nodes per site, more sites (including US), more users • Evolve architecture and software on the basis of TestBed usage and feedback from users • Closer integration of the software components • Improve software infrastructure toolset and test suites • Look for convergence with PPDG/GriPhyN architecture • Enhance synergy with US via DataTAG-iVDGL and InterGrid • Address shortcomings in plan by collaborating with other EU projects (DataTAG, GridSTART, CrossGrid) • Promote early standards adoption with participation to GGF WGs • Final software release by end of 2003 EU DataGrid
