论文摘要
梦想项目是3年前资助的，用于设计和实施下一代ESGF（地球系统网格联合[1]）体系结构，该体系结构适合在分布式和可扩展的环境上管理和访问数据和服务资源。特别是，该项目旨在专注于堆栈的计算和可视化功能，当时这是相当原始的。一开始，团队的一般观念是，可以通过对每个组件进行模块化来构建更好的ESGF架构，并通过定义和公开定义明确的API来重新定义其与其他组件的互动。尽管这仍然是指导工作的高级原则，但梦想项目能够通过利用大约3或4年前开始的新实践来实现其目标：容器化技术的出现（特别是Docker），开发框架以规模管理容器（Docker Swarm和Kubernetes）以及其应用程序的框架。多亏了这些新技术，Dream能够将ESGF架构（包括其计算和可视化服务）提高到超出原始期望的可部署性和可扩展性水平。
The DREAM project was funded more than 3 years ago to design and implement a next-generation ESGF (Earth System Grid Federation [1]) architecture which would be suitable for managing and accessing data and services resources on a distributed and scalable environment. In particular, the project intended to focus on the computing and visualization capabilities of the stack, which at the time were rather primitive. At the beginning, the team had the general notion that a better ESGF architecture could be built by modularizing each component, and redefining its interaction with other components by defining and exposing a well defined API. Although this was still the high level principle that guided the work, the DREAM project was able to accomplish its goals by leveraging new practices in IT that started just about 3 or 4 years ago: the advent of containerization technologies (specifically, Docker), the development of frameworks to manage containers at scale (Docker Swarm and Kubernetes), and their application to the commercial Cloud. Thanks to these new technologies, DREAM was able to improve the ESGF architecture (including its computing and visualization services) to a level of deployability and scalability beyond the original expectations.
