DFG-LIS project SustainLife - Preservation of living, digital systems for the humanities
The DFG-LIS project SustainLife aims to adapt processes and technologies from cloud deployment for the field of digital humanities and aims to optimize the management and provisioning of research applications and to realize their security and sustainable operation. For this purpose, the existing OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) standard TOSCA (Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications) and the open source runtime environment OpenTOSCA, which implements this standard, are used and extended by required functionalities (e.g. for the automation of software updates). By implementing the project, the DCH and IAAS are making an important contribution to researching and establishing models and strategies to increase the efficiency of the operation and maintenance of research applications in the humanities and thus also to reducing running costs.
