Technical Presentation

 The penetration of cloud computing in Governmental
bodies (public administrations, municipalities etc) is low
 The complexity of the ‘required’ applications is
continuously increasing
 Shift from dynamic portals to collaborative
applications
 Diverse development stacks
 Many new services tend to be even cross-border e.g.
 exchange of civil registry certificates
 exchange of personal data

 Cross-border applications generate additional technical
requirements
 Identity management
• Proposed Solution: usage of STORK
 Secure attribute exchange
• Proposed Solution: usage of SEMIRAMIS
 As a result there is an increased need for a Cloud
Orchestrator which will be able to:
 Store and instantiate complex governmental
applications (reusability)
 Provide proper governance (multi-IaaS environments)

STRATEGIC will deliver the necessary cloud-enabled infrastructure and
associated services/tools to governmental bodies, enabling:
 Existing public services deployment, migration to the cloud and
replication.
 Reuse of existing cloud-based services across different regions.
 Composition of novel services based on already deployed services.
 Secure and privacy friendly adaptation, governance and
development of public cloud services.

 Documentation of common use cases of public cloud services in the public
sector.
 Solutions for migrating on-line distributed services to the cloud.
 A marketplace for public cloud services.
 Solutions for porting and adapting public cloud services across different
organizations in the EU.
 Creation of STRATEGIC framework, a unified framework for the migration,
adaptation and composition of public cloud services evaluated by real users.
 Piloted STRATEGIC solution in three governmental bodies: CAMDEN (UK),
Genoa (Italy) and Municipality of Stari Grad (Serbia).

Common Application Packaging Format
Expressive enough
Describe monolithic, or multi-tier applications
with several interdependencies
Configuration Management
Post-installation configuration
Interoperability at the hypervisor level
Avoidance of vendor lock-in
Abstraction layer over hypervisors’ APIs
Interoperability on Monitoring
Measure performance at application-level
Measure performance at VM-level

 Packaged-Applications Repository
 Storage of all applications
 Credential Management Component
 Storage and management of user credentials
 Configuration Recipes Repository
 Storage of configuration templates for deployed
applications
 Configuration Framework
 Configuration of Horizontal Services
 Governance Component
 Start, Stop, Pause or Delete workloads regardless of
the underlying infrastructure

It defines the characteristics of
a workload and allows
parameterization before
deployment

Even security aspects can be
defined at will

Overview Page
provides info of
registered clouds and
deployed applications

Application is configured before deployment
through Service Store UI

Configuration
of VM
parameters is
also available
and restricted
to the options
supported by
the application
to be deployed

The deployed service
is managed through
the Service Store UI

proposition

 Cloud-enable of existing services, and develop new cloud-based services.
 Access to the STRATEGIC marketplace with a pool of existing cloud-enabled
services to reuse.
 Ability to use and manage public resources effectively from the STRATEGIC
platform.
 Freedom of choice among different infrastructures.
 Tools provided for compliance with Local Government requirements.
 Ability to protect the computing resources with Cloud based security
solutions provided by STRATEGIC (leveraging BT Intelligent Protection & BT
Secure Cloud Storage).

 End-users of the public services deployed on cloud
through the STRATEGIC framework.
 Comprehensively secure citizen-facing cloud applications
and services across multiple cloud platforms and
providers to protect them against cyber attacks
(leveraging BT Intelligent Protection)
 Protection of citizen data residing in the cloud
(leveraging BT Secure Cloud Storage)
 Data protection required by the law in the EU for
authentication (leveraging Stork).
 A secure- and privacy-aware mechanism of cross-border
electronic information exchange (leveraging Semiramis).

 Publishing and reselling services through STRATEGIC platform and
Marketplace leveraging BT’s enterprise cloud service store capability.
 Integrate their business processes into appropriate governmental
processes found in STRATEGIC marketplace.
 Facilitate Cloud Application Developers and ISVs to adapt existing public
services to cloud, using the governance toolkit of STRATEGIC project.
