EOSC SYNERGY HANDBOOK: A Handbook targeted at Computer Centre Management, Administrators, and Users of the Infrastructure

Abstract

In this handbook we describe how to integrate computing and storage infrastructure in such a way as to comply with current guidelines and best practices of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). We also describe how it may be used, operated and extended, with a focus as well on the system administrator's perspective. We present a set of example applications that were adapted to profit from the services supported by the infrastucture. This includes the services used, the general architecture of EOSC, the tools we chose to support the applications, and how computer centres can join their own resources into the federated cloud.
