Agenda
Ian Taylor will be on the call and will talk about the NDS Dashboard, which will include a general discussion about the roles of the NDS Dashboard and the NDS Explorer to ensure we minimize overlap.

- "execute" consists of
- launches docker container
- makes data available to the container
- executes the specified script
- returns log output to user's web page
- returns output files to user in a tar file
- (editors note: these notes do not do it justice)
- discussion
- general discussion regarding approaches for running/accessing long-lived containers
- google cloud (the approach of console via web page – not the vendor product)
- novnc
- approach to openstack resource management (creating instances, volumes, etc.)
- NDS Dashboard does not do anything in that space
- approach to docker container management (starting/stopping/managing nds services)
- current implementation used by NDS Dashboard is ytwebapp/ythub_workers (same as the sc14 demo, I believe – if so, then tornado/rabbitmq/celery)
- also built a second implementation based on Django – by Kiran(sp?) / Kacper) – located in nds-django repo in bitbucket
- general discussion regarding approaches for running/accessing long-lived containers
- outcome
- clear opportunities to collaborate and move forward together
- will follow up with specific technical discussions regarding container management
- the primary question is whether to continue to use the existing ytwebapp/ythubworkers or switch to the django-based implementation.
- goals is for that discussion to happen by wed or fri next week
