We will dive deeper into the Globus automation platform and describe how common instrument-based scenarios may be streamlined. We will examine the various components of a Globus flow that takes data from the point of capture on an instrument through to distribution/publication of resulting products to collaborators.

We will start with a simple flow and progressively work through more complex activities that incorporate computation as well as data description, publication and discovery. In the course of assembling these more advanced capabilities we will describe and demonstrate the Globus Compute, Globus Search and Globus Flows services.

The function-as-a-service (FaaS) model is well established in commercial cloud offerings but less so in research computing environments. The Globus Compute service enables remote computing using the FaaS model, but allows users to execute functions on any compute resource where they have access. We will provide an overview of the Globus Compute service, and demonstrate how to install an endpoint and execute a simple function on a remote system.

This session will cover topics such as managing multi-DTN endpoints, mapping user identities, using custom domains for data access, and other advanced topics of interest to the audience.
