Communicating testbed status to the users
ExoGENI Operations team uses several methods for communicating the status of various parts of the testbed to the users:
- They are announced on the geni-orca-users@googlegroups.com Google group
- They are announced on Twitter
- Last 5 announcements are visible on the ExoGENI website
The Operations team uses standard hashtags (#) to reference specific parts of the testbed to make it easier to search:
- #xo_stitching - Inter-rack stitching
- #xo_<rack acronym> - status of a specific rack (e.g. #xo_rci refers to the RENCI rack)
- #xo_ben - BEN - Breakable Experimental Network connecting several racks in North Carolina
- #ExoGENI - all of ExoGENI
