End of support of Xen environments
Deployment statistics showed that Xen Kadeploy environments were rarely used, so we decided to end support for them, as they add a significant maintenance load.
The environments that were published up to now remain available for deployment (see /grid5000/README.unmaintained-envs
), and the support remains in Kadeploy, but no future update to other environments will be made.
Documentation has also been archived in https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Unmaintained:Virtualization_in_Grid%275000_with_Xen

End of availability of clusters chetemi et chifflet at Lille
Due to technical constraints, we have scheduled the shutdown of the "chetemi" and "chifflet" clusters hosted at the Grid'5000 site in Lille for June 30, 2023.
We invite you to anticipate this shutdown and use the other clusters available in Lille or on the other Grid'5000 sites.
Please visit https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Hardware
We're working on the installation of new clusters in Lille that will be connected to Grid'5000 after the summer. We'll let you know more about the details of the equipment and its availability in a future announcement.
If these retirements are a problem for you, do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for your understanding
