Description

The CMS Experiment had to manage and process data volumes approaching the exascale during the LHC Run 3. This required a seamless synergy between the workload and data management systems, namely WMCore and Rucio. Following up to the integration of Rucio into the CMS infrastructure, the workload management system has undergone substantial adaptations to harness new data management capabilities in order to streamline data placement, access and cleanup strategies. Moreover, computing operations tasks have been integrated into the workload management system to enhance automation, efficiency and reliability. This contribution delves into this transformative process, detailing the strategic plan and achievements of introducing microservices to gradually improve the interplay between workload and data management in CMS.
