This presentation provides a detailed overview of the hyper-converged cloud infrastructure implemented at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS). The main objective is to provide a detailed overview of the integration between Kubernetes (RKE2) and ArgoCD, with Rancher acting as a central tool for managing and deploying RKE2 clusters infrastructure-wide.
Rancher is used for direct...
In preparation of the increasing computing needs of the HL-LHC, the IT department has built a new datacenter in Prevessin. These additional capacity will also enable IT services to prepare their Business Continuity and Disaster recovery plans.
With those two in mind, the cloud service has prepared a new deployment fully decoupled from the existing in Meyrin. This new setup allows users to...
The Space-based multi-band astronomical Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a French-Chinese mission dedicated to the study of the most distant explosions of stars, the gamma-ray bursts. This talk will cover a brief overview of the whole mission infrastructure before focusing on the French Scientific Ground Segment (FSGS) infrastructure. The FSGS relies on a micro-services architecture with a...
The cloud service provides resources to the whole CERN community in two datacentres (Meyrin and Prevessin). The deployment of the new datacenter in Prevessin allowed us to reconsider all the design choices we made for Meyrin. In the networking area, we are increasing the flexibility and adding even more options to users by offering Software Defined Networking. In this talk, we will explain the...
Windows 10 is dead, long live Windows 11! Device compatibility, hardware replacement plans, strategies for upgrade campaigns, privacy are all discussed and illustated with examples based on 10000 CERN PCs. Generative AI (Copilot) is also coming to the OS layer. Are you ready?
