Dear EasyBuilders,
On Monday 4 December 2023 (13:30-17:00 CET) we are organising a half-day
online introductory tutorial on CernVM-FS
(https://cernvm.cern.ch/fs via Zoom, in collaboration with the CernVM-FS development team.
CernVM-FS, the CernVM File System (also known as CVMFS), is a file
distribution service that is particularly well suited to distribute
software installations across a large number of systems world-wide in an
efficient way.
The focus of this tutorial is on explaining what CernVM-FS is, how to
access existing CernVM-FS repositories (like EESSI, see
https://eessi.io/docs and covering some aspects specific to using CernVM-FS on HPC systems.
It is intended for people with a background in HPC (system
administrators, support team members, end users, etc.) who are new to
CernVM-FS: no specific prior knowledge or experience with it is required.
High-level preliminary agenda (subject to minor changes):
- What is CernVM-FS?
- European Environment for Scientific Software Installations (EESSI)
- Accessing a CernVM-FS repository
- Configuring CernVM-FS on HPC infrastructure
- Troubleshooting and debugging CernVM-FS
- Performance aspects of CernVM-FS
- Different storage backends for CernVM-FS
- Containers and CernVM-FS
- Getting started with CernVM-FS (from scratch)
