Description

The Scientific Computing and Data Facilities (SCDF) at Brookhaven Lab began
in 1997 when the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and ATLAS Computing Facility
was established. The full-service scientific computing facility has since supported
a diverse range of scientific collaborations, by providing dedicated data processing,
storage, and analysis resources for these expansive experiments with general
computing capabilities and support for users.
We are currently in the process of migrating our virtual environment from RHEV to Red Hat
OpenShift. I will present the successes and pitfalls of this migration, as well as why we
decided on OpenShift as a solution. I will also discuss our increasing e􀆯orts to migrate
some of our VM-based services to OpenShift containers.
