Jobbeschreibung

The accelerator complex is managed by computers running Linux, currently CentOS7. However, it will soon transition to a custom Linux distribution developed at CERN, based on a vanilla Linux kernel and Debian.

This shift focuses on enhancing user experience and leveraging DevOps techniques to improve productivity, particularly in the way software is built, released, and deployed.

By adopting continuous integration (CI), automated testing, and deployment workflows, the goal is to reduce downtime, ensure faster delivery of updates, and maintain the stability of critical systems in a high-demand environment. This transition aims to improve system security, flexibility, and performance through a modular Linux setup, where new features and updates can be tailored to CERN’s specific needs.
