Abstract: The EU ESCAPE project (European Science Cluster of Astronomy & Particle Physics ESFRI) is developing ESAP, the ESFRI Scientific Analysis Platform, as an API gateway that enables the seamless integration of independent services accessing distributed data and computing resources. In ESCAPE we are exploring the possibility of exploiting EGI’s OpenStack cloud computing services through ESAP. ESFRI (European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures) are unique facilities, resources, or services identified by European research communities to conduct and to support top-level research activities in their domains. The ESFRI projects are in their preparation phase and have been selected for the excellence of their scientific cases and for their maturity, according to a sound expectation that the projects will enter the implementation phase in a fixed period of time. EGI is a federation of computing and storage resource providers delivering open solutions for advanced computing and data analytics to support research and development. In this contribution we briefly describe ESCAPE and ESAP, the use cases, the work done to automate a virtual machine creation in EGI’s OpenStack cloud computing, drawbacks and possible solutions.
