Reply To: Meeting the Digital Twin Challenge discussion

HI Andrew,

Just now, Andrew Myers said:

I’d be keen to get the thoughts from @Brian and other group members on the pros/cons of DAFNI vs. public cloud providers (such as Azure/Amazon). Also the potential for linking twins hosted the two environments (which links in well with the discussion from the ODI talk last week).

This is a question we constantly ask ourselves – we provide computing for research of all sorts and its always a balance.  But we feel that there is continuing value of a specialist common hub with dedicated skills and resources for that community which can be shared.   We can use public cloud to expand out – again by having common interoperability standards that can be managed.   I am sorry, I missed the dicussion last week unfortunately – were there particular points there which came from that discussion?

thanks

Brian
