Use cases

  • GlastRelease - frozen on RHEL6
    • L1 processing, reprocessing in SLAC batch farm
      • RHEL6 container on a RHEL7 host
      • do FT1, FT2 files go to xrootd? (Warren)
      • separate containers for L1? Maybe not an issue if we can preload batch nodes. We're guessing ~5 GB image.
    • Simulations at Lyon, SLAC, GRID
      • maybe the same as for SLAC - check with Samuel for details
    • Developers & Users
      • maybe separate versions for debug symbols and source for developers. Could be on-demand production of this version.
    • Release Manager or manual builds
  • Science Tools
    • Caching big files (e.g. templates) in container image. Need a strategy with SCS for this for how containers are cached.
