Experience with Docker Container at Tier-3 Operations — •Matthias J. Schnepf, Christoph Heidecker, Frank Fischer, Max Fischer, Manuel Giffels, and Günter Quast — Karlsruhe Institue of Technology

Nowadays High Energy Physics (HEP) computing and analysis can profit a lot from available opportunistic resources and new technologies. The biggest challenges in taking advantages of these resources and technologies are the dedicated operating systems and software requirements by HEP.

A promising way to meet these challenges is the usage of Docker container technology, which allows to run HEP software on operating systems that are not officially support by HEP experiments.

The Institut für Experimentelle Kernphysik (IEKP) uses Docker container in combination with the batch system HTCondor to run physics analyses on desktop PCs and on dedicated worker nodes independent from their operating system.

This talk gives an overview about the experience with Docker containers in our infrastructure and possible upcoming projects.
