Infrastructure Manager
Automating deployment of virtual infrastructures on EGI Cloud
One of the challenges for researchers in recent years is to manage an ever-increasing amount of compute and storage services, which then form ever more complex end user applications or platforms.
To address this need, EGI provides several orchestrators that facilitate the management of your workload using resources on the federation. These tools have different levels of abstractions and features. See below to understand which to choose (or gets used automatically) in specific scenarios:
Service Name | Workload Type | Use-Case |
---|---|---|
Infrastructure Manager | VMs, containers, storage | Used to run workloads on a single IaaS Cloud provider. |
Workload Manager | Jobs | Used to efficiently distribute, manage, and monitor computing workloads. |
The following sections offer more details about each of these orchestrators.
