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

  • sites will NOT be suspended for a/r performance at least until end of May

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
