The EOSC AAI Explained ( EOSC Academy course 7)
Resources and Videos
The course targets primarily the node AAI operators and architects, in need of plugging their nodes’ AAI infrastructure to the EOSC AAI to effectively integrate their nodes in the EOSC Federation, belonging to the first, second and possibly subsequent new waves of enrolment of EOSC nodes.
It is also addressed to the grantees of the Gravity Preparatory and Interproject Calls as well as organisations and experts within the EOSC community who wish to learn more about and deepen their understanding of the EOSC AAI Infrastructure and implied processes, and the required steps to join the AAI federated capability of the EOSC Federation.
AAI is by far the first and most important Federating Capability enabling the actual deployment and implementation of the EOSC Federation.
Previous knowledge of the EOSC is strongly recommended, including participation in Course “Explaining the EOSC Federation” and Course “Applying the EOSC Federation Handbook“. Prerequisites for this course include knowledge of the objectives, vision, and context of the EOSC; an understanding of the general structure of the EOSC in terms of services and capabilities; and mastery of key EOSC terms (e.g., core, exchange, resource).
By the end of this course, the learner will be able to:
- Understand the goals of the EOSC AAI infrastructure;
- Know what the underlying basic AAI protocols implied are, and how they are used by the EOSC AAI;
- Understand the basics and the structure of the MyAccessID service, which is the fundamental component, playing the central hub and spoke role at the core of the EOSC AAI;
- Understand that the supported AAI workflows are, and what is implied for EOSC Users and for EOSC Node AAI owners, managers and operators;
- Know what the minimal requirements are for your AAI infrastructure to be able to join the EOSC Federation;
- Understand practical steps are required to join the EOSC Federation AAI.
