GEC22 Tutorial: GENI Experiment Engine Tutorial
Schedule
Wednesday 1.30pm - 3.30pm
Session Leaders
Andy Bavier Princeton/PlanetWorks | Matt Hemmings University of Victoria | Rick McGeer US Ignite |
Description
This tutorial will familiarize participants with the GENI Experiment Engine (GEE) platform. GEE provides simple, preconfigured environments called "slicelets" to GENI users: a slicelet consists of Docker containers running on InstaGENI racks connected by a private L3 network. The goal of GEE is to make it fast and easy to get a basic experiment up-and-running on GENI (a.k.a., "the five minute rule").
Attendees will:
- Learn how to allocate a GEE Slicelet and download helper files
- Use Ansible to configure and run a simple "hello world" experiment across GEE resources on 20 InstaGENI racks
Audience
Beginner to Intermediate.
Of interest to both:
- GENI experimenters
- US Ignite application developers
Pre-requisites / Pre-work
You must have a SSH client that uses standard keys.
(Optional): Though it's not required to complete the tutorial, you may want to install Ansible on your laptop following these instructions. Ansible does not run directly on WIndows; Windows users who want to install Ansible locally can use Vagrant to install an Ubuntu VM on their machine.
