Rucio and CS3API to enable data management for the ScienceMesh cloud

In recent years Sync and Share Services have become more relevant than ever in our day to day lives. The scientists at CERN are not an exception to this, however, due to the sensitivity of data they are wary of using commercial platforms. To fulfil this requirement the CERN IT-ST team introduced CERNBox, which allows scientists to collaborate and use their favourite tools in their workflows with ease. This project extends the capabilities of CERNBox by making large data stores readily available within CERNBox. Rucio has decades of experience in scientific data management for various experiments at CERN. Adding CernBox as one of its storage systems will allow users to efficiently share very large datasets across cloud instances and use that data in web-based notebooks making data analysis and experiments reproducible.
