2019-07-29: Development meeting

Kacper, Tommy, Elias, Craig, Mike H

Agenda

• Updates
• Discussions
  • Tales at Scale
  • Mike H: Why are we doing this?
    • TACC had to do something, Agave/Tapis seemed like a natural choice
    • There are actual Tales that require specific resources (TERRA Ref, RSL)
    • In the future enables posibility to access local data.
  • Agave resources:
    • Developer docs
      • "Togo" dashboard is defunct, instead use the CLI or Python API
    • JupyterHub on TACC via Agave + Singularity
    • Old JupyterHub @ TACC with Agave
    • Latest tutorial
  • See also JupyterHub Batch Spawner
    • https://github.com/jupyterhub/batchspawner
  • Discussion
    • Reservations v pool of workers (Glideins)
  • What else would you do?
    • Mike H.
      • Support things other than R or Python -- to run arbitrary executables.
      • Why are we not using this?
      • Backed by Github
  • deploy-dev needs minor updates
