Cloud Migration

Executive Summary

These last years, LAL has developed, deploy and maintain a StratusLab-based cloud platform.

At the same time, the cloud ecosystem has evolved significantly and at the end of last year, we decided that it was time to migrate from StratusLab to a more feature-rich platform, OpenStack, which is the main open-source cloud middleware. Today we are pleased to announce that the new platform is open an accessible to users previously registered on our StratusLab platform.

[INCIDENT] Microcoupure

fr_flag

Hi,

Due a to micro outage on our machine room, some OpenStack hypervisors have been rebooted. All VM should be restarted but unfortunately, some of them didn’t. We currently work to fix this issue.

Another side effect is that our cinder backend infrastructure (ceph) is currently out. We also work to fix this issue. Cinder is down until situation is fixed.

Regards,


 

Bonjour,

Suite à une micro-coupure electrique dans notre salle machine, certains de nos hyperviseurs ont rebooter. Toutes les VMs auraient du redémarrer, malheureusement certaines n’ont pas redémarrer correctement. Nous travaillons actuellement a rétablir al situation.

De même, l’infrastructure CEPH en backend de notre service cinder n’est pas accessible. Les volumes cinder ne sont donc pas accessible. Nous travaillons aussi a rétablir la situation

Merci,
