Description
In this talk we present the story of building REANA, the free and open
source platform for reusable and reproducible computational data
analyses. REANA allows researchers to structure information about
input data, analysis code, containerised environments and
computational workflows so that the analyses can be instantiated and
executed on remote compute clouds. REANA supports several declarative
workflow systems (CWL, Snakemake, Yadage), container technologies
(Apptainer, Docker) and compute backends (HTCondor, Kubernetes,
Slurm). We describe the REANA platform, the typical use cases from
experimental particle physics, exchange observations on sociological
and technological challenges inherent in facilitating reusable
computational research, as well as discuss the future plans for the
evolution of the platform.
