Rucio is an Open Source scientific Data Management sofware developed at CERN and used since more than 10 by various experiments and collaborations.

Rucio is the backbone of the CERN VRE. The platform acts as a middleware to the ESCAPE Rucio instance, as well as for the rest of services.

CERN VRE Rucio deployment​

All Rucio services are deployed on the VRE using the upstream Helm charts.

  • The current Rucio Helm chart version, and the Rucio version deployed on the cluster are shown on the badges at the beginning of this page.
  • The Rucio manifests deployed on the cluster can be found on the VRE repository - Rucio deployment.

A detailed tutorial on how to deploy Rucio (the servers, the daemons and the UI services) on Kubernetes is described on the k8s guide of the official Rucio documentation. Please note that certain parts of this tutorial are CERN-specific.

  • The CERN VRE Rucio user documentation can be found on the top Rucio tab of this website or here.
