SIG Greenhouse

Via mailing list and discussion with SC.  Nicole to take forward. e-mail sent and awaiting replies.

Developer community waning within the NREN world.  Lots of reliance on OSS but no strategy for long-term support for the software, very few NRENS have development strategy in place alongside procurement strategy, difficulties with maintaining developers.

Work on Docker recipes and approaches.

Planned for upcoming meetings. 

Presentation by SURFnet:

  • Envision needing more services focused on campus domain, ICT services etc and so GEANT would need to help improve national service delivery and economies of scale.
  • Current GEANT portfolio reflects tech- driven services. IN NL have started to facilitate coalitions of the wiling – Ict managers  etc to help develop and launch new services, result in extension of the portfolio. So want demand aggregation, joint tendering, tender management as something GEANT can do to support.
  • Need staff available to facilitate large-sclae procurement, operation management in trust, security & cloud – GEANT leans on NRENs for running T&I and security services, would be good if its staff could do that. Also if could support the ICT mangmnt of orgs such as NATO, ESA, UN that need GEANT and NREN resources.
  • GEANT academy to help NRENs acquire skillsets.
  • Automation of network services.
  • Just entering campus domain with service that allows us to manage their wifi – would be good to use a control plane to include campus domains.
  • Clouds – many campuses want to get rid of ICT depts. And use commercial solutions via NREN as broker. See commercial services where we know our customers want to be able to get them from us.
  • Want white label applications or software so can incorporate into NREN own portfolio
  • Open protocols and software are a must
  • Standardisation where possible.

Presentation by DeIC

  • Want GEANT to be the vehicle for everything we want to do in common among the NERns
  • Want cost reductions and opp for NRENs to make money supplying stuff to the rest of the community
  • Abolish the GENAT backbone and have it base on NREN connections and cross-border fibres
  • Network-side DDoD mitigation service
  • Joint procurements
  • NREN-to-NREN service provisioning
  • Enable eduGAIN to support ad hoc federations.
  • Orchestration of point-to-point connections through open APIs
  • Users, funders etc should come up with KPIs and we come up with the numbers.
  • Services should be white-labeled in several levels.
  • As a community should have a complete portfolio - if a new country emerged should have an ‘NREN-as-a-service’ offering.
  • funding model for NERNS has big impact. RedIRIS centrally funded, DeIC more in competition with others.
