DeployingΒΆ
This section describes how to deploy the VISA platform.
VISA is composed of a number of dockerised applications that are configured to work together. Orchestration of the docker containers can be done in multiple ways however we outline here the simplest way using docker-compose.
The VISA Applications are as follows:
VISA API Server
The main business logic and REST API for the VISA application. Management of remote desktops is also handled here.
VISA Web UI
The frontend UI based on the angular framework.
VISA Jupyter Proxy
An HTTP proxy to forward requests to the JupyterLab server running on the instances
VISA Accounts
The account authentication and attribute provider
VISA Security Groups (optional)
A micro-service to determine security groups required for each instance. This is to be implemented by each facility to cover site-specific firewall rules.
