The EOSC Compute Platform, delivered by EGI-ACE, is a distributed computing environment that federates compute, storage and high-level services from research performing organisations and commercial entities.
The services of the Compute Platform rely on various management services that are designed for the efficient management of federated compute environments. The management services ensure the correct operation of the various providers across administrative domains, provide a coordinated allocation of resources at the sites, and implement interoperability between the Platform and the EOSC Core.
EGI’s Authentication and Authorisation service, called Check-in, is a key component of the architecture and enables the use of common identities across all the layers of the Compute platform and the rest of EOSC. A Configuration Database, a Monitoring service, a Usage Accounting system, and a Helpdesk service complement the portfolio, alongside other non-technical services and coordination activities, such as an IT Management System, service security oversight, incident response management and integrated resource allocation team.
