How to bring your scientific application to the EGI infrastructure
The official solution to distribute software in the EGI Infrastructure is to use CVMFS, the Software Distribution Service developed to assist High Energy Physics collaborations at CERN. For more details, please refer to the Contend Distribution documentation.
The following alternative solutions for sharing scientific software in the EGI Infrastructure are also available:
- Use the EGI Applications Database (AppDB): either packaging your application in a custom Virtual Machine or uploading a Virtual Appliance.
- Use Docker containers via the EGI Cloud Compute Service.
To get started, have a look at the tutorial to create your first Virtual Machine in the EGI Infrastructure.
