Model Execution in the “Cloud“

[schuelet]

Current State:

• Currently, models can be executed in the online web repository by using the KNIME server the repository is hosted by. This setup carries severe security concerns, since model scripts can potentially contain malicious code. Furthermore, models could potentially run for a long time, thus creating additional computation cost and even risking a complete shutdown of the repository.

Goal:

• Model execution is outsourced to a Cloud service provider.

Concept:

• Members of EFSA and BfR are trying to use the Microsoft Azure service to set up a solution.

  Implementation:

• Members of EFSA and BfR are trying to use the Microsoft Azure service to set up a solution.

Challenges:

• Licensing issues
• Cost
• Compatibility

Resources:

• Available: EFSA and BfR personnel
• Research : 5-100 days
• Setup: 5 days
• Testing 2-5 days

Total Cost:

• 100 + 7 to 12 days
