The gCube Core Distribution

The gCube Core Distribution (gCore), is a packaging of those components of the gCube system[1] which are guaranteed to be available on each and every node of a gCube infrastructure (gHN). The distribution includes the following key components:

  • the gCore container, a container for the deployment and runtime management of gCube services;
  • the Local Services, a small set of gCube services which must/should/could run on each gHN;
  • the gCube Core Application Framework (gCF), a code framework to simplify the development of gCube services and their clients;
