An important principle in the management of edge services in research computing centers, and their ScienceDMZs, is autonomy.
SLATE (Services Layer at the Edge) is a new project that, when complete, will implement “cyberinfrastructure as code” by augmenting the canonical Science DMZ pattern with a generic, programmable, secure and trusted underlayment platform.
This is a our very first blog entry for the SLATE project - we’re just getting started!
