Quattor @ LCG T2 workshop

Description

This tutorial gives an overview of the Quattor tool suite and its application to Grid services configuration and administration.

The main goal is to illustrate the potentials of Quattor in a Tier2 environment, with services possibly distributed across geographical areas. Examples and demos of real-world scenarioes are presented interactively.

The topics covered are:

- Overview of Quattor architecture and modules;
- How to describe and manage the configuration of large sites;
- Software package deployment and configuration of Grid services;
- Experiences coming from running Quattor instances.

The level of detail is intermediate. Neither low-level installation tasks nor implementation issues are covered, although the attendees should have a basic understanding of Unix service management, as well as of Grid services and versioning-based authoring.

Note that the afternoon is available for further presentations: Anyone wishing to contribute is welcome!
