    CTA Development
    Short talk

    CTA's Continuous Integration (CI) system has been around since the inception of the project. However, numerous limitations had piled up: the CI setup was monolithic, developments outside of CTA were difficult to test (EOS, XRootD and dCache), the pipelines were slow and large parts of the CI system were not nicely structured. Over the past year, the CTA team has made significant improvements...

    CTA Development
    Short talk

    The CTA software versioning numbering scheme distinguishes between standard code releases and “pivot” releases aimed at upgrading the CTA Catalogue schema. This separation provides us with a simple and replicable set of steps for upgrading CTA between any two versions.
    This talk will present the strategy for versioning the CTA software, explain how CTA Catalogue schema upgrades are integrated...

    CTA Operations
    Short talk

    The current CTA test instance is deployed using Helm, a tool that streamlines the installation and management of Kubernetes applications. It allows us to clearly separate and template the different components that make up CTA. In this talk, we will walk through how the new containerized CTA setup works, covering how the components are organized, how Helm is used to manage configurations, and...

    Hands-on Sessions
    Hands-on session

    In this hands-on, participants will deploy their own containerized CTA + EOS setup and perform a catalogue upgrade from version 14.0 to 15.0. The goal is to walk through the full upgrade procedure so that participants understand the steps necessary to smoothly do a catalogue upgrade of CTA. Participants are expected to bring their own laptops and will be provided with an OpenStack VM.
