| Definitionskos:definition | The Application Package OGC Engineering Report (ER) defines a data model and serialization for Thematic Exploitation Platforms (TEP) Application Packages. A TEP refers to a computing platform that follows a given set of scenarios for users, data and ICT provision aggregated around an Earth Science thematic area. This ER is part of the Testbed-13 Earth Observation Clouds (EOC) effort to support the development by the European Space Agency (ESA) of the TEP by exercising envisioned workflows for data integration, processing, and analytics based on algorithms developed by users that are deployed in multiple clouds. The wide usage of virtualization and the possibility to start virtual environments within Cloud services significantly simplifies the creation of environments and provisioning of resources. However, it still leaves a problem of portability between infrastructures. This ER identifies a strategy for packaging an application in a Cloud environment that will be able to run in a predictable manner in different computing production environments. The application packaging specifies the elements that will ensure: Scientific reproducibility, Dependencies identification and management, Maintainability from an operational perspective and avoid version pilling, Portability in different Cloud providers The ER proposes the use of containers, defining everything required to make a piece of software run packaged into isolated containers. Unlike a Virtual Machine (VM), a container does not bundle a full Operating System (OS) - only libraries and settings required to make the software work are needed. This makes for efficient, lightweight, self-contained systems and guarantees that software will always run the same, regardless of where it’s deployed. A discussion on application deployment and execution is presented in the separate OGC Testbed-13 Application Deployment and Execution Service ER [1]. |
