Construction of multi-site Cloud Infrastructure with OpenStack, the most popular cloud open source project with various ICT infrastructure technologies, has operational inefficiency due to installation complexity and geographical limitation. To address this inefficiency, we gradually developed automated installation/configuration tools to automate installation/configuration of Linux and OpenStack by complying with DevOps methodology over a multi-site OpenStack testbed called OF@KOREN SmartX Playground. However, the pre-developed installation tools can be used only for limited cases. Therefore, we designed and developed a prototype of SmartX Provisioning Framework which could conducts Playground-wide provisioning flexibly by following three steps of resource management in Software-defined Infrastructure. We verified the efficiency of the provisioning functionality of the framework by demonstrating an example of automated multi-site cloud construction.

Recently, several information-technology research projects such as those for high-performance computing, the cloud service, and the DevOps methodology have been advanced to develop the efficiency of satellite data-processing systems. In March 2019, the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager II (GOCI-II) will be launched for its predictive capability regarding marine disasters and the management of the fishery environment; moreover, the GOCI-II Ground Segment (G2GS) system for data acquisition/processing/storing/distribution is being designed at the Korea Ocean Satellite Center (KOSC). The G2GS is composed of the following six functional subsystems: data-acquisition subsystem (DAS), data-correction subsystem (DCS), precision-correction subsystem (PCS), ocean data-processing subsystem (ODPS), data-management subsystem (DMS), and operation and quality management subsystem (OQMS). The G2GS will enable the real-time support of the GOCI-II ocean-color data for government-related organizations and public users.
