The next Tips and Tricks call is in on Thursday, Jan 4th, at 1pm ET. Simon Westersund from the Finnish CSC will go over their deployment of Open OnDemand on LUMI.

CSC is hosting Europe’s largest supercomputer LUMI, and last November LUMI’s web interface was opened, based on Open OnDemand. This presentation shows how CSC develops and deploys OOD on three discrete supercomputers, using Podman as the underlying technology, to be able to align the setup between the clusters as much as possible. The presentation will discuss the pros and cons, as well as a few gotchas with deploying OOD inside containers.

Two teams collaborate on the OOD development. The Computing Environments team improves the experience of using OOD at CSC, while collaborating with the Computing Platforms team, who operate the clusters, and manage the deployment. Tight cooperation is required to be able to integrate with other CSC systems, and enable a user-friendly interface to the supercomputers. The presentation will demonstrate how CSC’s setup ensures that productive development is enabled, while maintaining stability in production.

New attendees need to register at [https://utah.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYqfuqqrToqGtMMel3jTB6OGpi1hUWtFdmJ](https://utah.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYqfuqqrToqGtMMel3jTB6OGpi1hUWtFdmJ).

Also, the December call recording is at [December 7 2023 - Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cSAvUn3BgFURdN6ITYBPcv77OJIezArO?usp=drive_link).

Happy New Year.
