Presentation
The CERN remote data centre in Budapest is now in operation, the first equipment deliveries have taken place and the network infrastructure, including the 1x100Gbps links is operational. By the time of this talk the first systems should also be in operation. This talk will therefore summarise the project since the last talk at the HEPIX spring meeting of 2012 and the experience gained so far.

Fundamental research labs in southern part of Paris, known as P2IO, have decided to build a common computing facility shared between labs and designed to be energy efficient. This involves the creation of a new datacenter as the first step. This project started one year ago has entered its construction phase and is expected to be available next Fall. This presentation will detail the...

In November 2012 the RAL Tier1 suffered two serious power failure incidents in a period of two weeks. The first was a general whole-site failure which was exacerbated by the loss of the UPS power supply, and the second was a power surge caused during work on the UPS supply feed and which damaged significant amounts of equipment. In both cases the Tier1 facility and other Scientific Computing...

This presentation describes several Load Balancing paradigms of services within our puppet managed, CERN private, Openstack cloud. Our primary Load Balancer is HAProxy, which is combined with Corosync/Pacemaker cluster engine or DNS Load balancer. Specifically, we create small clusters of Load Balancers behind a service IP to guarantee front end failover. The aforementioned Load Balancers...

As part of the CERN Agile Infrastructure project, we have been running the puppet component as a production service. With the benefit of the experience of running at larger scale with more users, we will describe the lessons we have learnt, and how we've evolved our original design. Looking to the future, we will present how we plan to support a multi-admin environment with a distributed...

As the number of servers, both bare metal as well as virtual machines, keeps increasing we need some tools that are not only able to store efficiently the logs but can also give us some insightful information
from them.
Logstash, in combination with the indexing capabilities of Elasticsearch, can be used to collect the logs from different kind of sources and aggregate them in such a way...
