programme under grant agreement No. 101000162.

4. Vision: DevSecOps framework for the development,
deployment and operation of trustworthy infrastructure-
as-code.
Goal: Framework with tools integrated in the IDE.
Status: PoC version already available!

6. DOML: DevSecOps Modeling Language that is developed by using our
ECLIPSE based IDE
ICG: Infrastructure Code Generator that transform DOML into IaC
(Infrastructure as Code). Supported languages:
Terraform
Ansible
* Possibility to introduce new languages in the future.

8. We use PIACERE framework to define the infrastructure where the
application will be deployed
We use the ICG to generate the Terraform IaC and produce the Self-
description template
The user can
Publish Terraform-IaC on a repository
Populate the Self-description and submit it to Catalogue
Application is available and deployable for Gaia-X GXFS users to test it
Let us do that one exampleof video streaming application:
VM deployed on IONOS
Streaming server, streaming a video

Use the Terraform Code
Use the deployed XFSC (GXFS) orchestrator
(LCM Engine + LCM Service)
Initiate deploy
See the result on IONOS Cloud and web
video.

20. Conclusions
30 May 2023
Gaia-XPIACERE 20
PIACERE is being extended with capabilities to support
the generation of Gaia-X Self-descriptions for its
deployments
The generated IaC for the deployments can be used
with Gaia-X tools [XFSC (GXFS) orchestrator] to deploy
the applications and create the infrastructure
New examples and tests have been provided and can
be extended by the Gaia-X community

21. Be part of Gaia-x and create
a future that is both open and fair!​
We are happy to have you with us
and welcome you.​
