Hi everyone,
I am pleased to announce the first release of Globus Provision, a tool
for deploying fully-configured Globus systems on Amazon EC2.
http://www.globus.org/provision
Globus Provision is designed to be simple to use, and will allow you to
deploy common Globus and Globus-friendly services (GridFTP, GRAM,
Condor, etc.) in just minutes. It also takes care of generating user
accounts, user/host certificates, setting up NFS/NIS, etc. and allows
you to dynamically add and remove software, hosts, and user accounts to
a running system.
To learn more about Globus Provision, check out our "What is Globus
Provision?" page:
