We might have exchanged some mails back in the day probably, then. :D

I'm in this for a couple of decades now.

Quite possibly! It was always a pleasure to see the ATLAS jobs running in a process list on an OpenStack hypervisor. We supported Lancaster University for compute (amongst others!).

We ran and still run things bare-metal. If you remember the site names, we had quite a few TR-XX sites. I hailed from some of those.

Now a colleague of mine is handling these. I'm more on the OpenStack & HPC side for other stuff.
