Operational issues

Aligning Fedcloud sites to the A/R procedures

  • EGI Operations proposal to align Fedcloud sites to the A/R related procedures used for the grid sites
    • based on the availability reliability of monitored services in cloudmon, EGI Operations will start follow up with underperforming sites as we are doing for every grid sites
    • sites will NOT be suspended for a/r performance at least until end of May
  • in parallel EGI Operations will start PROC08 to include cloud probes in the EGI_CRITICAL and EGI profiles used for A/R computations (IN PROGRESS)

The proposed timeline is:

  • February 2016:
    • EGI Operations will check the status of the production cloud services in order to understand which issues (if any) the site has and provide help to NGIs and sites;
    • Start of the integration of cloud probes in EGI CRITICAL profile(current set+openstack): To be agreed with the ARGO team, PROC08 will be followed
  • June 2016:
    • Starting notification of sites eligible for suspension
