Date: August 19, 2025
Time: 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM ET
Join us on August 19, 2025, from 3:00–4:30 PM ET for the next session in our Mastering FABRIC: Tips and Tricks webinar series. This session, led by Xi Yang, will focus on FabFed, a library enabling federated access to testbeds and cloud resources that uses FABRIC.
FabFed offers a framework for instantiating and managing resources across multiple research platforms, including FABRIC, CloudLab, and Chameleon. In this session, participants will gain insights into how FabFed supports NSF cloud and public cloud integration, a capability increasingly valuable for researchers seeking to deploy more diverse and scalable experiments. The presentation will explore the capabilities of FabFed and its relevance to current FABRIC users.
Xi Yang will also present a live demonstration using a shared artifact package, showing step-by-step deployment examples that highlight both standard usage and novel integrations with cloud services. The webinar will cover the importance of FABRIC’s federated testbeds, walk through FabFed’s key features, and conclude with a list of resources.
The session will include a Q&A segment, providing attendees with the opportunity to ask questions of the presenter and explore how FabFed can be leveraged in their own research environments.
