Dear all,
EUMETCast Terrestrial over AMT is being upgraded to support anycast addressing on the GEANT AMT Relays. A new anycast address is now available: 62.40.96.44
This upgrade ensures automatic routing to the nearest AMT Relay, improving reliability and simplifying multicast data distribution.
🔧 For Existing Stations
All existing users should update their AMT configuration to use the new anycast address *before the end of June*. After this date, individual AMT Relay IPs will be retired.
Please follow the update workflow provided here: https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/EWCLOUDKB/How+to+update+startup+script+for+EUMETCast+Terrestrial+station+on+EWC
This workflow will replace the station’s startup script to support the new anycast configuration.
🔄 For New Stations After 14th May 2025
If you are setting up a new EUMETCast Terrestrial station using the VM available on Morpheus after 14th May 2025, no action is needed — the configuration is already up to date.
If you encounter any issues just contact us via our Support Portal or discussion platform.
EWC Team on EUMETSAT side
Dear ,
On 26 May 2025 we plan to update EWC Rocketchat starting from 9:00 AM CEST. The process should take around 1h.
During the maintenance period, rocketchat could be not accessible or not available. All data will be saved before update.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
EWC team
We’re excited to announce that HTC Batch Processing on EUMETSAT side of the EWC now supports Singularity containers!
What is Singularity?
Singularity is a widely-used container technology designed specifically for high-performance computing (HPC) and scientific workloads. Unlike traditional container platforms, Singularity focuses on portability, security, and seamless integration with existing HPC infrastructure — allowing users to package entire applications and environments into a single, portable image.
What does this mean for you?
You can now submit and run batch processing jobs to the batch processing system using your Singularity container images, alongside existing container options.
You can find more information and an example job for singularity here: EUMETSAT - HTC batch processing#SingularityjobinHTCondor
You can join the common pool of nodes deploying execute nodes that have docker and singularity available!
Dear all,
We notify you about an upcoming maintenance on the ECMWF cloud infrastructure scheduled on the following days 6, 7 and 8 May 2025 from 08:00 to 14:00 UTC each day.
The maintenance window, which is applicable to the cloud cluster in CCI1, is done in order to upgrade the version of Openstack running on the system.
During that maintenance window, there will be possible disruptions on the service APIs for up to 30 minutes.
For further updates during the sessions, you can monitor the ECMWF Service Status page.
We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause you.
Kind regards,
EWC Team at ECMWF
