The SKA Observatory is expected to be producing up to 600 petabytes of scientific data per year, which would set a new record in data generation within the field of observational astronomy. The SRCNet infrastructure is meant for handling these large volumes of astronomy data, which requires a global network of distributed regional centres for the data- and compute-intensive astronomy use...
The University of Victoria operates a scientific OpenStack cloud for Canadian researchers, and the CA-VICTORIA-WESTGRID-T2 grid site for the ATLAS experiment at CERN. We are shifting both of these service offerings towards a Kubernetes-based approach. We have exploited the batch capabilities of Kubernetes to run grid computing jobs and replace the conventional grid computing elements by...
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...
The operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is critically dependent on several hundred Front-End Computers (FECs), that manage all facets of its internals. These custom systems were not able to be upgraded during the long shutdown (LS2), and with the coinciding end-of-life of EL7 of 30.06.2024, this posed a significant challenge to the successful operation of Run 3.

As CERN prepares for the third Long Shutdown (LS3), its evolving Linux strategy is critical to maintaining the performance and reliability of its infrastructure. This presentation will outline CERN’s roadmap for Linux leading up to LS3, highlighting the rollout of RHEL and AlmaLinux 10 to ensure stability and adaptability within the Red Hat ecosystem. In parallel, we will discuss efforts to...
This talk provides an overview of SUSE’s open-source solutions for modern data centers. We will discuss how SUSE technologies support various workloads while leveraging open-source flexibility and security.
Topics include:
- OpenSUSE Linux – A secure and open Linux system designed for
high-performance workloads.
- Harvester Project – An open-source alternative for virtualization,
...
