AfricaArabia ROC Campaigns

Operations Campaigns are medium-term projects which are conducted as needed, when there is a request from EGI, an ROC site or a user community, which requires coordinated action at most or all sites. Campaigns should have a leader, who is responsible for getting sites to stick to a schedule or taking action; campaigns are also time-limited, meaning that they have to have a start and an end. They differ from projects in their

  • Scope : Campaigns are usually of very limited scope, addressing a single focussed aspect of site services
  • Impact on sites : Campaigns should affect all sites, hence the need for coordinated action
  • Interested parties : Campaigns affect only the operations team

While this is just another way of doing what we’ve always been doing, it gives some more visibility to important ROC-wide tasks and allows clearer delegation of tasks. Also, it will allow us to report better to supporting projects such as CHAIN-REDS and ei4Africa , as well as relying parties like EGI.eu. Campaigns are documented on the Github wiki pages of the AAROC DevOps repo .
