  ATLAS
  
  Tape challenge
  
  #5374 dark reaper issue
  
  Heartbeat never refreshed in the dark reaper -> does not work with multiple threads
  
  Reduced to 1 thread for the moment
  
  Already a PR to fix this
  
  Will see in which release this goes 1.28.0 or 1.28.1
  
  Deadlock issue with 1.28.0rc1 + 1.27.10
  
  Main issue was a forgotten index
  
  Caused a deadlock issue on database side
  
  Solved by adding index
  
  Secondary race condition in the finisher
  
  Multiple finisher could work on the same transfer path in a MH transfer
  
  Also fixed with 1.28.0rc2 + 1.27.11
  
  Testing of temporary tables for reaper (Activated via config variable)
  
  Replacement of complex OR-chunked queries
  
  ATLAS activated this globally on all RSEs, works well
  
  No negative (nor positive) performance impact
  
  But queries and workflows are much simpler
  
  Flux2
  
  Motivated by the recent CERN kubernetes incident and handling of secrets
  
  Secrets are now kept (encrypted) in the repository
  
  Much easier if all clusters are wiped and secrets are lost
  
  CMS
  
  Running probes based on 1.27 release
  
  Fermilab/DUNE/RUBIN/...
  
  Move from OpenShift to raw Kubernetes
  
  All Fermilab clusters on k8s primitives now
  
  Will mean better support throughout the board
  
  Belle II
  
  DIRAC Python 3 move
  
  In preparation for Rucio 1.29.0 which drops Python 2.7
  
  Policy package for Belle II
  
  On 1.26.X at the moment, so can't test temp tables yet
  
  ESCAPE
  
  Closing workshop for ESCAPE last days
  
  Rucio was very well received and are either moving to Rucio or evaluating
  
  Rucio Jupyter plugin + Data Lake as a Service was mentioned many times!
  
  ESCAPE will continue to exist as a "forum" (Collaboration agreements being prepared)
