Session I Talks

Speaker

Qusai Almasri

Description

This talk goes over some of the major infrastructure “anomalies” I dealt with at SNOLAB, mainly the VM host migration, cluster issues, and the cybersecurity work that came out of it. Goal was to secure the systems, contain whatever broke, and protect the research services people actually rely on. Armed with admin access, incomplete documentation, and a lot of troubleshooting.
