Experimental science workflows require federations of geographically dispersed science instruments and computing systems connected over a wide-area network. We develop a Virtual Infrastructure Twin (VIT) framework, which is a digital twin of the physical infrastructure that utilizes network virtualization and containerization technologies to support the development and testing of science workflow codes. Using VIT, we illustrate the access to instruments via EPICS system and the orchestration of containerized computations across federation computing systems. We also present a machine learning method to convert VIT throughput measurements to closely match the corresponding physical testbed measurements.
