Gateways on Elm#

Types of Elm Gateways#

Elm S3 API#

Cost: Free for Elm users#

Example Use Case: Using aws-cli to send or receive data between your Elm and your computer.#

Authorized Elm users can use tools that are compatible with the S3 API to access their data. Examples of compatible tools that are already installed on Sherlock include aws-cli, rclone, and s5cmd.

Authentication#

API keys can be generated from the MinIO web interface.

Elm Globus Endpoint#

Cost: Free for Elm users#

Example Use Case: Transfer large datasets in/out of Elm from non-Stanford locations or share files with collaborators outside of Stanford.#

Elm has a Globus Endpoint. Globus provides a suite of cloud-based, software-as-a-service services for moving, synchronizing, and sharing big data. We're currently experimenting a Managed Endpoint with the Globus Sharing option enabled.

Globus: anyone with an Elm account can use the Globus endpoint:

• go to https://app.globus.org/file-manager
• in "Use your existing organizational login", choose "Stanford University"
• authenticate with your SUNet ID and password
• optional: install Globus Connect Personal to transfer files from/to your local machine
• lookup the Elm Globus endpoint: SRCC Elm
• transfer files!
