Hello,
The AUVERGRID site after many years of operation will stop providing calculation resources. Resources are aging. There are no plans to have funding to renew the equipment. The following set of services will be definitively stopped on 12/31/2024.

Dear colleagues,
last week, many of us learned of a severe issue affecting any GEANT
TCS certificate requests, for hosts and users, including renewals.
Service interruption is highly likely starting at the beginning of
January 2025, which may last for a while (how long we cannot yet
predict). The duration and extent of the interruption, as well as any
secondary impacts, cannot yet be fully estimated since it depends on
several factors not detailed in this message.
For users, the ACTIONABLE RECOMMENDATION at this moment is:
* Start planning the renewal of -- AND RENEW over the next few weeks,
and BEFORE the New Year's break! -- any user certificates signed by
one of the GEANT TCS CAs.
* Renew your personal certificates via the /clientgeant endpoint:
https://cert-manager.com/customer/__NREN_NAME__/idp/clientgeant
Meanwhile, take good note of any communications sent by your national
or regional NREN - bearing in mind their communications may end up in
a different department or shared service center of your institution.
======================================================================
To check if a certificate is affected:
openssl x509 -noout -issuer -in $CERTIFICATE | grep GEANT
where $CERTIFICATE can be $HOME/.globus/usercert.pem for example.
======================================================================
More news will be provided hopefully soon.

The UK ARGUS service supported at the Tier1 at RAL will be decommissioned on the 2nd December 2024. This is after CERN’s notification of deprecating their instance back in July (https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMeetingWeek240729)
After this date, the ARGUS service hosted at argusngi.gridpp.rl.ac.uk will be unreachable.
If sites are utilising their ARGUS instances for user mappings, we recommend migrating to native solutions found in Nordugrid ARC-CE, HTCondor-CE or similar.
Any questions or concerns please inform the RAL Tier1 Grid Services team.
