• Any incidents since last meeting
• Short-term operational risks or alerts

I did not really understand what happened to the new repo bits.cern.ch
- created end of July
- Predrag wrote that he published things that he did not want to (beginning of Aug)
- during Fab's holidays the s3 bucket disappeared, Fab recreated it on 11/08

Kernel update on RMs - needs OTG and a lot of fun

 

Ourproxy: done the puppet mods end of July, running 2 weeks in a separate env
- put in qa yesterday 12/08
- fixes and refinements mainly linked to the lbclient (not testable in a separate env)
- running smooth, did thousands of test loops
- the http req rate is lower than before, and i can't explain it
Putting it to prod will be not so easy: https://its.cern.ch/jira/browse/CVMFSOPS-394
