An open cloud for researchers, staff and students
summary
A liquid-cooled Walton data centre repurposes a decommissioned supercomputer into an experimental cloud that runs bare‑metal RHEL with OpenShift, operated by SETU with tech support from Red Hat and initial testing by RH‑OCTO. The deployment consists of three OpenShift clusters (teaching, testing, Red Hat multicluster), 5‑node clusters with container registries, GPUs added, LVM snapshots and NFS for PVs, ACM for management, LDAP plus a GitHub org for access, and plans to add IBM Z LinuxONE and migrate OpenStack workloads for better density and AI inferencing.
