Abstract

This paper presents a methodology for designing a containerized and distributed open science infrastructure to simplify its reusability, replicability, and portability in different environments. The methodology is depicted in a step-by-step schema based on four main phases: (1) Analysis, (2) Design, (3) Definition, and (4) Managing and provisioning. We accompany the description of each step with existing technologies and concrete examples of application.
