SWAN Charts

This section gives a brief of how SWAN is used as a part of ScienceBox. Running SWAN as a part of ScienceBox is relatively easy task since we “mimic” the upstream SWAN deployment. The upstream documentation for SWAN could be found here. ScienceBox uses the upstream SWAN charts and configures it run with the custom OCIS IDP (which is also used by CERNBox for authentication) for authentication purpose.

As seen in the architecture, whenever there is a request at /swan endpoint the ingress routes the request to the running SWAN instance, which then uses OCIS IDP for the authentication and the EOS deployment as a storage backend. The components involved are:

• OCIS IDP: OAuth Provider
• EOS: Storage Provider
• SWAN: Upstream SWAN charts
