Rolling releases

• This new mechanism appears to be in good shape now. We will keep an eye on the relevant jobs once the v0.20 tag is published.
• We slightly tweaked the behavior of the relevant cron job to push an annotated tag (rather than a release) to GitHub.

CI pipelines status

• We diagnosed and fixed a tricky GitLab CI bug that was causing the build_systems stack to not get triggered on the v0.20 release branch.
• Otherwise, our GitLab CI pipelines have been behaving pretty well over the past week or so 🤞

pcluster buildcache

• Four new CI stack for pcluster were merged into Spack develop.
• We are still working on setting up new pcluster-specific GitLab CI runners.

Priorities

• Keep working to deploy new pcluster runners
• Investigate what types of job errors occurred on the v0.20 release branch with an eyes towards making the release process even smoother next time.
• Make sure we're using gp3 EBS volumes for our EC2 instances.
• Help Luke set up a Cray Stack
• Work on setting up a Windows Stack
