Created page with "Galaxy is actively used in cloud computing. This page contains links and brief description of main Galaxy projects related with clouds. ==CloudMan== CloudMan is a cloud man..."

New page

Galaxy is actively used in cloud computing. This page contains links and brief description of main Galaxy projects related with clouds.

==CloudMan==

CloudMan is a cloud manager that orchestrates all of the steps required to provision a complete compute cluster environment on a cloud infrastructure.

It allows one to manage the cluster, all through a web browser.

It is primarily used in the context of Galaxy cloud and [[CloudBioLinux]].

CloudMan is currently available on the AWS EC2 cloud.

CloudMan is python application (currently 82 files, ~800 kb)

-It makes possible to customize each instance of CloudMan and, if desired, preserve those customizations <cite>Afgan2012a</cite>.

-====Instance customization====
-At the infrastructure level, each instance is composed of <cite>Afgan2012b</cite>:
-*machine image - common denominator across all instances and contains all of the core software and libraries;
-*configuration repository - each CloudMan instance has its own configuration repository (for AWS - Simple Storage Service (S3)). It includes:
-**source code for CloudMan itself
-**boot-time contextualization script
-**references to the persistent storage resources
-**any application-specific configuration files.
-*one or more persistent storage units - store both data and applications available to the instance. They are realized as a combination of data volumes and snapshots.
-**for AWS - Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes
-**for OpenStack - Nova volumes.
-−
-Tools that are used but not modified at runtime are stored on the snapshots. At instance runtime, those snapshots are used to create temporary volumes, which are attached to instances and used in read-only mode. These snapshots can be modified to include any desired tool. Such modifications are performed at the file system level and the process of adding a tool is the same as installing a tool on any other comparable system.
-−
-Once modified, a new EBS volume is created and the instance configuration in the persistent configuration repository simply needs to point to the new snapshot and the instance will use it as part of its deployment.
-−
-The process of persisting the custom cluster configuration has been integrated into CloudMan’s web interface, thus simplifying and automating this process.
