On 3 Feb I'll be presenting my experiences running a #K8s cluster "in de meterkast" at of the tenth edition of #cfgmgmtcamp. This is not the first time i'm doing this talk, so my feelings about presenting changed from "Can I do this?" to "Can I still do this?". cfgmgmtcamp.org/ghent2025/

I didn't know I was taking part in a raffle when I did the SimOps certification, imagine my surprise when I found out I was a winner. And if you didn't do the HPC certification yet, I can recommend it as it is a good Introduction to HPC.

Looking into @nextflow.io for our Slurm cluster. Using easybuild.io of course to build/install it. Why change from nextflow-<VERSION>-all to nextflow-<VERSION>-dist for the name of the package/java-binary without any changelog? #HPC #HPCSoftware #ReproducableInstalls #easybuild

Huge props to the EESSI team for winning a Reader's Choice Award. We're glad to be able to support projects like these, because this is where great software, and great ideas are born. Anything that makes it easier (well, EESSI'er) to get your hands on what you need - well, we're fans.
