- 2020 ATLAS requirements released
- Follow-up workshop for WBS 2.3 area, tbd.
- Tier2 computing review requested by management, still being organized.
- Completing FY18 equipment purchases. Plan on purchase of k8s edge node for facility evolution (see below, and http://bit.ly/facility-evolution).
- OSG-LHC, part of IRIS-HEP, now official. Brian Lin will continue to be our primary point of contact. More details of what's ahead as the OSG and IRIS-HEP are making plans for the next 18 months.
- Facility evolution - part of our plan is to create a k8s platform across the US ATLAS computing facility, which will require sites to procure an edge node. We can leverage SLATE for the installation and configuration of k8s into a federation that supports the ATLAS virtual organization. Information about recommended hardware is at http://slateci.io/docs/slate-hardware/. The 'Big node' is all that is needed ($12,782.59).
