Joint FABRIC and National Research Platform Experiments

FABRIC provides a highly flexible, federated testbed where researchers can prototype, experiment, and “break things” in a safe, multi-tenant environment. At the same time, the National Research Platform (NRP) offers a production-grade Kubernetes environment with large-scale resources such as GPUs. Together, these platforms make it possible to design experiments that span both experimental and production infrastructures—unlocking workflows that neither system can support alone. In this session, Mohammad Sada introduces both FABRIC and NRP, explaining what each platform offers, how they differ, and why combining them is valuable for modern research workflows. Participants will learn when it makes sense to use FABRIC’s testbed environment, when to leverage NRP’s production Kubernetes cluster, and how joint experiments allow teams to collaborate across these environments. The webinar also walks through the technical foundations that enable this integration, including how FABRIC slices, facility ports, and NRP Kubernetes resources are connected to support cross-platform workflows. Mohammad will demonstrate how researchers can launch a slice in FABRIC, link it to NRP, and use both environments together within a single experimental workflow. A live, notebook-based demonstration will show how to start a slice using FABlib, connect through FABRIC facility ports, and interact with NRP’s Kubernetes cluster to run a joint experiment. This end-to-end example will illustrate how researchers can seamlessly bridge prototyping on FABRIC with scalable execution on NRP.
