Dear ALASCA Tech-Talk Community, we are thrilled to invite you to this month's ALASCA Tech-Talk taking place on *Fri,* *July 31, 11am - 12pm CEST*. In this month's talk, please welcome *Friedrich Zahn *and *Dr. Daniel Gerber *(Software Engineers at ALASCA FOCIS) for the following talk: * * *ALASCA Tech-Talk #38: //Going full arctic circle: Running ALASCA on open cloud infrastructure & standards//* /Fostering open source software communities in the 2020s needs more than a git server and a mailing list. However, ALASCA is the association for operational cloud infrastructure, so let’s get a plate of dogfood! We’ll provide some insights how we are running ALASCA’s infrastructure on open cloud infrastructure and utilize open standards, what works well for us - and what does not. Specifically, we’ll showcase our OpenTofu repo to manage the ALASCA community resources based on the SCS-mandated Domain Manager role. It is accompanied by RacStack (formerly known as Raclette Billing Dashboard) to monitor actual resource usage./ /We’ll also talk about our autoscaling GitLab and Woodpecker CI runners, as another example of an SCS-IaaS based application - and how we managed to DoS our cloud within the first week of bringing them to prod./ /Users might know our GitLab projects, docs pages and are happy to pull from our registries. But that’s only the tip of the iceberg - we’ll visualize the suprising number of infrastructure services that are needed to run ALASCA and support our projects, and how we hope to increase transparency and reproducibility in the future./ We can't wait to talk tech with you!
