Hi,

Currently, to deploy virtual infra with EGI this is the flow:

  1. Go to: https://im.egi.eu/im-dashboard/manage_creds
  2. New EGI Credentials
  3. Select VO
  4. Select cloud provider in the VO. This generates a <vo, site> credential.

Then:

  1. Go to https://im.egi.eu/im-dashboard/
  2. Choose and customise TOSCA template
  3. Select <vo, site> credential

The user experience with multi-site VOs like vo.access.egi.eu VO is not ideal when the deployment fails in several cloud providers. We are discussing how to improve this internally. However, here is a proposal for IM/IM Dashboard: add a new deployment option: Let IM decide the cloud provider.

With this new option, the new flow would be:

  1. Go to: https://im.egi.eu/im-dashboard/manage_creds
  2. New EGI Credentials
  3. Select VO
  4. Select: Let IM decide the cloud provider. This generates a <vo, automatic> credential.

Secondly, to deploy virtual infra

  1. Go to https://im.egi.eu/im-dashboard/
  2. Choose and customise TOSCA template
  3. Select <vo, automatic> credential.

Then, IM internally is going to iterate over all sites in the VO and stop with the first successful deployment attempt.

What do you think?
Thanks,
Sebastian
