This document presents the architecture for StratusLab v1.0. The architecture consists of a set of services, components and tools, integrated into a coherent whole and a single distribution, providing a turnkey solution for creating a private cloud, on which a grid site can be deployed. The constituents of the distribution are integrated and packaged such that they can easily be installed and configured, using both manual and automated methods. A reference architecture is presented, fulfilling the requirements and use cases identified by D2.1 and further analysed in this document. The selection of the elements composing the distribution was made following an updated analysis of the state-of-the-art in cloud and a gap analysis of grid and cloud related technologies, services, libraries and tools. In order to enable cloud interoperability, several interfaces have also been identified, such as contextualisation, remote access to computing and networking, as well as image formats. The result of this work will be StratusLab v1.0, a complete and robust solution enabling the deployment of grid services on a solid cloud layer. The architecture will be updated at project month 15 in Deliverable D4.4.
