We will provide a summary review of Globus features targeted at those new to Globus. We will demonstrate how to transfer and share data, install a Globus Connect Personal endpoint on your laptop, use the Globus Command Line Interface and automate data management tasks using the Globus web app. This introduction will provide important context for subsequent sessions.

We will review the Globus Connect Server v5 (GCSv5) architecture and deployment model, and describe the process for creating a Globus endpoint on your HPC cluster, lab server, or other multi-user storage system. You will experiment with installing Globus Connect Server, and configuring basic options on the endpoint.

We will provide a brief introduction to the Globus platform-as-a-service for developers, with emphasis on understanding the security model; and will demonstrate how to access Globus services via APIs for integration into custom research applications.

We will describe how to build, deploy and trigger Globus Flows for automating data management at scale. Examples will include managing data from instruments and streamlining the data publication process.

We will dive deeper into the Globus Search service and demonstrate how it can be used, in conjunction with the Globus portal framework, to build data portals, science gateways and data commons that make data more broadly discoverable and accessible.

We will be available to discuss and provide guidance on specific use cases. Bring us your hardest challenge and we'll do our best to figure out how Globus can help!
