| 3 | 3 | The neo-containers system uses cloud-container technology to abstract and generalize container creation and initialization. At the DETER level, the experiments have a number of physical nodes, "pnodes", which serve as hosts for the virtualized containers. Outside of the experiment there are two servers which configure the containers. Both run on {{{chef.isi.deterlab.net}}}. The Chef server serves "code as configuration" and stores static (for the most part) configuration information. The {{{config_server}}} is a RESTful API which loads then serves experiment-specific configuration information. The code that the Chef server runs on the containers usually pull the specific configuration information from the {{{config_server}}}. |
