    • #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)
