Opportunistic cloud computing for German HEP — •R. Florian von Cube, René Caspart, Max Fischer, Manuel Giffels, Eileen Kühn, Günter Quast, and Matthias J. Schnepf — Karlsruhe Institute of Technology

For on-demand usage of resources not dedicated to HEP, KIT develops the resource management system COBalD/TARDIS. It allows for dynamic integration of resources temporarily made available from different providers. Those might be e.g. university HPC clusters, shared science computing centers or commercial cloud providers.

By using modern virtualization and containerization technologies, such as Docker or Singularity, heterogeneous resources can be used transparently by experiments e.g. for Monte-Carlo-production and end-user analysis.

In this contribution we introduce COBalD/TARDIS and present recent successes with exemplary setups.
