To enable containers to be deployed and operated at scale and across cloud systems through the container orchestration platform in standardised formats which will:

  • Focus on developing a standards (e.g. GA4GH) compliant, interoperable container orchestration platform
  • Comprise scientific software and workflows from ELIXIR Tools platform ecosystem e.g. Bio.tools, Biocontainers, and OpenEBench
  • Connect with existing relevant ELIXIR communities e.g. HGTD, Proteomics, Marine, Galaxy
  • Provide an easy-to-use and transparent way of automating service deployment, orchestration, and configuration through the platform that can support the ELIXIR use
