- This page is meant to organize the discussion around the virtualization of Fermi Science Analysis Systems software. Some pieces of software today have a long history and there is a clear lack of man power to have these run on recent platforms. Some software are stuck on RHEL5, other on RHEL6, others run on modern platform. A detailed status point has to be made on each piece to understand the way forward: maintenance, VM, container.
- Information on this page were first gathered from a number of reference pages:

...
- GPL_TOOLS (staging and logging)
- REPRO common tools
- REPRO task scripts
- GlastRelease
- ScienceTools
- GLAST_EXT software (e.g., python, root)
- Ftools (KIPAC installation)
- ROOT skimmer
- FITS skimmer (possibly unnecessary?)

Farms status
| Farm | Node OS | Network FS | VMs | Container |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SLAC | RHEL6 | AFS / NFS | No (never says Brian) | Docker |
| CC-IN2P3 | RHEL6 and CentOS7 | AFS to be phased out, CVMFS | A OpenStack Cloud is running but not for production | ? |
| GRID sites | mostly RHEL6, a few CentOS7 | many have CVMFS | no | ? |

Questions
- Joris : Is there some security issues with LSF & Docker (https://developer.ibm.com/storage/2017/01/09/running-ibm-spectrum-lsf-jobs-in-docker-containers/ )
- Joris : We need to verify the compatibility between Singularity ( Lyon CC ) and Docker
- etc.
