SUMMARY:Infrastructure & Monitoring at CERN scale
DESCRIPTION:CERN is the European Organization for Nuclear Research\, where 
 physicists and engineers probe the fundamental structure of the universe. 
 To achieve its goals it has always required a large amount of computing ca
 pacity\, with its infrastructure evolving over time from large mainframes 
 to the datacenters of today.\n\nIt hosts the Large Hadron Collider\, a 27k
 m particle accelerator where two beams of protons collide millions of time
 s per second generating 100s of PetaBytes of data. The monitoring pipeline
  collects\, transports and processes several terabytes of metrics and logs
  per day from more than 50k hosts of the CERN data centres and world-wide 
 grid distributed services.\n\nBig Data\, Big Compute\, Big Infra\, Big Met
 rics. Don't miss this meetup\, it's going to be... well\, BIG!\n\nAs alway
 s\, you can expect interesting chats with other members of the community\,
  beers and something to bite after the talks!\n\nThe event starts at 19:00
  and the talk will start at 19:15 sharp\, please be on time.\n\nWe will ha
 ve our usual book raffle among those who arrive on time \;)\n\n=========\n
 \nTALK 1: "Computing and Operations at CERN: From Physical HW to Virtualiz
 ation and Containers"\nSpeaker: Ricardo Rocha\, Software Engineer at CERN\
 n\nIn this talk\, we describe and cover the challenges of running the infr
 astructure required to store and analyse 100s of PetaBytes of data\, and h
 ow we manage 1000s of servers totalling more than 300k cores and offering 
 over 400PBs of storage. We will cover the compute and networking infrastru
 cture running on OpenStack as well as the required configuration managemen
 t services for automation. And we will finish with the current move toward
 s a containerized infrastructure where Docker and Kubernetes play a key ro
 le.\n\nRicardo is a software engineer at CERN currently part of the CERN c
 loud team\, focusing primarily on networking and container based deploymen
 ts. Previously he helped develop and deploy several components of the Worl
 dwide LHC Computing Grid\, a network of ~200 collaborating sites around th
 e world helping to analyze the Large Hadron Collider data. He has a comput
 ing degree from FEUP (Faculdade Engenharia da Universidade do Porto)\, joi
 ning CERN as part of his final project focusing on Grid Computing. Ricardo
  has presented his and his teams work in different international conferenc
 es - Computing for High Energy Physics (CHEP)\, IEEE NSS/MIC\, IEEE MSST\,
  DockerCon\, Kubecon and multiple OpenStack summits.\n\n=========\n\nTALK 
 2: "Monitoring CERN Data Centre and WLCG Experiments"\nSpeaker: Diogo Nico
 lau\, Software Engineer at CERN\n\nThis talk discusses the monitoring arch
 itecture\, the challenges encountered in operating and scaling a pipeline 
 to handle billions of events and presents how users benefit from a central
  monitoring service for processing and analysis of monitoring data.\n\nDio
 go is a Software Engineer with experience in designing and operating compl
 ex data pipelines. He earned his Masters in Computer Science at Instituto 
 Superior Técnico with focus on intelligent decision systems. While yet st
 udying he had the chance to explore several startups where he helped build
 ing from recommender systems to marketing newsletters. He joined the CERN 
 IT Department to work on the evolution of monitoring infrastructure toward
 s modern and scalable pipelines for data ingestion and stream processing. 
 In his spare time\, as a true millennial\, he enjoys travelling and findin
 g new places to eat as much as watching Netflix.\n\n=========\n\nIMPORTANT
  NOTICE: the talks will be recorded and published in the DevOps Lisbon You
 Tube channel. By signing up for this event you explicitly agree that your 
 image might appear in the video recordings. Nevertheless\, you can always 
 get in touch with the organisation ([masked]) to have it removed.\n\nhttps
