Project deliverable

• Read more about D2.4 Blue-Cloud Data Discovery and Access service

The Blue Cloud data discovery and access service is one of the components of the Blue-Cloud technical framework. It serves federated discovery and access to a range of blue data infrastructures for external users and also will interact with the Blue-Cloud Virtual Research Environment (the component federating computing platforms and analytical services). The pilot Blue-Cloud project aims at federating initially in total 10 blue data infrastructures.

The Blue-Cloud Service platform will enable, among other services, discovery and access of digital objects from the marine science domain via the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) framework. For that purpose, the Discovery and Data Access Service which Blue-Cloud is developing will be made accessible through the EOSC Portal, by harvesting metadata from the domain-specific Blue-Cloud Data Discovery and Access Service and publishing in EUDAT-B2FIND, EOSC's generic and interdisciplinary discovery service.

• Read more about D2.6 Blue Cloud Architecture - Release 1

This report D2.6 describes the Blue Cloud architecture as it is known at Month 9. It is the first release of the architecture as it is expected that the actual development and implementation of the Blue Cloud system will provide further challenges and elaborated details. For that purpose, two more releases of the architecture document are planned, namely report D2.7 in Month 15 and report D2.8 in Month 27.

The technical framework of the pilot Blue-Cloud will feature:

• Read more about D2.7 Blue Cloud Architecture (Release 2)

This deliverable D2.7 describes the Blue Cloud architecture as it is known at Month 20. It is the second release of the architecture and an update of the earlier 1st release of the Blue-Cloud architecture document D2.6. It is expected that there will be further developments and refinements to the Blue Cloud system. For that purpose, one more release of the architecture document is planned, namely report D2.8 in Month 27.

• Read more about D3.1 Demonstrator general technical requirements

The Blue-Cloud innovation potential will be explored and unlocked by developing five dedicated Demonstrators as Virtual Labs together with excellent marine researchers. For that purpose, Blue-Cloud selected five varied and domain-coverage rich scientific demonstrators. The objective is to develop and deploy a Virtual Lab for each demonstrator, which will become part of the Blue-Cloud Virtual Research Environment (VRE) and as such will be made accessible for users. The D4Science e- infrastructure will be the core platform for the VRE.

• Read more about D3.2 Demonstrator Implementation Guidelines

This deliverable, D3.2 "Demonstrator Implementation Guidelines" draws first a roadmap towards the hosting of the demonstrators' technologies by the Blue-Cloud VRE, in order to set up the Blue-Cloud Virtual Laboratory.

• Read more about D3.3 Blue Cloud Demonstrator Users Handbook V1

This deliverable, D3.3 "Blue Cloud Demonstrator Users Handbook V1" is a first version of the handbook and guidelines on how to use the Virtual Research Environments (VREs) of the five demonstrators. For each demonstrator, the following information will be described: the objective, the targeted users, a summary of their provided services and the guidelines of how to use their respective VREs.

• Read more about D4.1 Blue Cloud VRE Operation Report - Release 1

The Blue-Cloud project is developing a cyber platform bringing together and providing access to multidisciplinary data from observations and models, analytical tools, and computing facilities essential to support research to understand better and manage the many aspects of ocean sustainability.

• Read more about D4.2 Blue Cloud VRE Common Facilities - Release 1

The Blue-Cloud project plans to pilot a cyber platform bringing together and providing access to multidisciplinary data from observations and models, analytical tools, and computing facilities essential to support research to understand better and manage the many aspects of ocean sustainability.

• Read more about D4.3: Interfacing EOSC Report (Release 1)

The Blue-Cloud Service platform will feature a variety of services that can be used for undertaking world-class science via the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) framework, by featuring leading operational marine research infrastructures and e-infrastructures. For that purpose, Blue-Cloud builds a service catalogue which will be integrated in the EOSC Portal.
