Strategic Technical Presenation

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme under grant agreement no 621009

An advance service distribution network and tools for interoperable programmable, and exploitation of unified public cloud services

Technical Presentation


The penetration of cloud computing in Governmental bodies (public administrations, municipalities etc) is low

The complexity of the ‘required’ applications is continuously increasing Shift from dynamic portals to collaborative

applications Diverse development stacks

Many new services tend to be even cross-border e.g. exchange of civil registry certificates exchange of personal data

Problems’ Statement


Problems’ Statement Cross-border applications generate additional technical

requirements Identity management

• Proposed Solution: usage of STORK Secure attribute exchange

• Proposed Solution: usage of SEMIRAMIS

As a result there is an increased need for a Cloud Orchestrator which will be able to: Store and instantiate complex governmental

applications (reusability) Provide proper governance (multi-IaaS environments)


STRATEGIC will deliver the necessary cloud-enabled infrastructure and associated services/tools to governmental bodies, enabling:

Existing public services deployment, migration to the cloud and replication.

Reuse of existing cloud-based services across different regions.

Composition of novel services based on already deployed services.

Secure and privacy friendly adaptation, governance and development of public cloud services.

Expected results Documentation of common use cases of public cloud services in the public

sector.

Solutions for migrating on-line distributed services to the cloud.

A marketplace for public cloud services.

Solutions for porting and adapting public cloud services across different organizations in the EU.

Creation of STRATEGIC framework, a unified framework for the migration, adaptation and composition of public cloud services evaluated by real users.

Piloted STRATEGIC solution in three governmental bodies: CAMDEN (UK), Genoa (Italy) and Municipality of Stari Grad (Serbia).


Common Application Packaging Format Expressive enough Describe monolithic, or multi-tier applications

with several interdependenciesConfiguration Management

Post-installation configurationInteroperability at the hypervisor level

Avoidance of vendor lock-in Abstraction layer over hypervisors’ APIs

Interoperability on Monitoring Measure performance at application-level Measure performance at VM-level

Identified Requirements


Strategic Orchestrator - Architecture


Strategic Orchestrator - Architecture

Packaged-Applications Repository Storage of all applications

Credential Management Component Storage and management of user credentials

Configuration Recipes Repository Storage of configuration templates for deployed

applications Configuration Framework

Configuration of Horizontal Services Governance Component

Start, Stop, Pause or Delete workloads regardless of the underlying infrastructure


STRATEGIC Workload Metadata Model

It defines the characteristics of a

workload and allows parameterization before

deployment


STRATEGIC Workload Metadata Model

Even security aspects can be defined at will


STRATEGIC Orchestrator

Overview Page provides info of

registered clouds and deployed applications



Application is configured before deployment through Service Store UI



Configuration of VM

parameters is also

available and restricted to the options

supported by the

application to be

deployed



The deployed service is

managed through the Service Store

UI


proposition


Governmental Bodies

Cloud-enable of existing services, and develop new cloud-based services.

Access to the STRATEGIC marketplace with a pool of existing cloud-enabled services to reuse.

Ability to use and manage public resources effectively from the STRATEGIC platform.

Freedom of choice among different infrastructures.

Tools provided for compliance with Local Government requirements.

Ability to protect the computing resources with Cloud based security solutions provided by STRATEGIC (leveraging BT Intelligent Protection & BT Secure Cloud Storage).


Citizens

End-users of the public services deployed on cloud through the STRATEGIC framework.

Comprehensively secure citizen-facing cloud applications and services across multiple cloud platforms and providers to protect them against cyber attacks (leveraging BT Intelligent Protection)

Protection of citizen data residing in the cloud (leveraging BT Secure Cloud Storage)

Data protection required by the law in the EU for authentication (leveraging Stork).

A secure- and privacy-aware mechanism of cross-border electronic information exchange (leveraging Semiramis).


Technology providers Publishing and reselling services through STRATEGIC platform and

Marketplace leveraging BT’s enterprise cloud service store capability.

Integrate their business processes into appropriate governmental processes found in STRATEGIC marketplace.

Facilitate Cloud Application Developers and ISVs to adapt existing public services to cloud, using the governance toolkit of STRATEGIC project.
