News:

  • The agenda of the Workshop “Computing@CSN5” applications and innovations at INFN is
    online
  • The AI_INFN Platform has been unavailable from 11/9 evening to 12/9 evening due to a major technical incident with the CNAF internal network. The problem was limited to the network: no data was lost.

Tracked developments:

:arrow_forward: Automation of RKE2 deployments in INFN Cloud

  • NTR
  • Giuseppe è stato invitato ad un meeting con INFN Cloud in cui Giuseppe ha presentato un modulo puppet per tirar su il dependency tracker. Inclusa la parte di IaaC. Perplessità:
    • è l’ennesimo servizio da servire centralmente;
    • va capito se si può fare con Harbor e non lo farebbe per una fase iniziale ma solo per le immagini pubblicate.
  • Vogliamo continuare su risorse AI_INFN?
  • L’update di kubernetes è stato affiancato con un Playbook Ansible, Giuseppe farà un seminario.

:arrow_forward: Develop monitoring and accounting infrastructure (R. Petrini)

  • [Low priority] We need to update the grafana instance to accomodate metrics for the hackathon platform

  • NTR

:arrow_forward: Offloading tests with virtual kubelets (G. Bianchini, D. Ciangottini)

  • Started the activity to submit jobs to CINECA Leonardo through the INFN Platform, we are debugging.
  • Started a discussion with CNAF Tier-1 support to submit jobs there, a possibly viable option was identified, exercises to validate the technical requirements will start soon.
  • Activity with Cloud@Veneto has been paused after migration to interlink 0.3 and should be revived.
