RED Execution Engines

A RED execution engine is a software, that executes an experiment based on a given RED file. Two execution engines are implemented by the Curious Containers project: The CC-FAICE toolsuite includes a local execution engine and CC-Agency implements a remote execution engine. Both execution engines implement the Docker container engine.

The RED client faice exec is also part of the CC-FAICE toolsuite and is used to send the experiment to one of the two execution engines.

CC-FAICE

Set execution.engine as ccfaice in your RED file red.yml and invoke the RED client.

faice exec red.yml

Example Configuration

execution:
  engine: "ccfaice"
  settings: {}

Settings

Not available. Insert empty dict, for ccfaice engine settings.

CC-Agency

Set execution.engine as ccagency in your RED file red.yml and invoke the RED client.

faice exec red.yml

The RED client will contact the CC-Agency Broker REST interface (${url}/red) to register the experiment on your behalf.

Example Configuration

execution:
  engine: "ccagency"
  settings:
    access:
      url: "https://example.com/cc"
      auth:
        username: "username"
        password: "password"
    batchConcurrencyLimit: 8
