Ensuring academic research continuity in a major disaster is a challenge when dealing with data volumes in the petabyte range. In this presentation, we'll share our thoughts concerning disaster recovery at the University of Basel. We want to open the discussion and potentially seed synergies across organizations to address this challenge.

- New community members - Updates from the community Efficient HPC Cluster Deployment in the Cloud: Strategies for Scalability, Speed, and Self-Service This talk outlines strategies for deploying High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters in the cloud to enhance operational efficiency and flexibility. We discuss our method for rapidly provisioning dedicated cloud clusters, providing a reliable overflow capacity during peak demands and a robust backup during on-premise outages or planned interventions. Our experience with seamless cloud bursting, alongside our future goals for user-driven resource management through AI-enhanced tools, highlights our commitment to advancing cloud-based HPC solutions. The presentation will detail the technical achievements and the roadmap for empowering users to autonomously manage computing and storage resources. Speaker: Pablo Llopis, EPFL
