I always feel soooooo slow when I'm starting a new IaC project or doing a major refactor.
In this case there's a lot of orchestration that I'm the tying to leave room for future enhancements. Anyway it always takes long time
I'm re-working my lanecloud Ansible provisioning to better use netbox as a source of truth... And also switching to provisioning VMs with libvirt instead of nomad

Multi-IaC-Eval: Benchmarking Cloud Infrastructure as Code Across Multiple Formats
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is fundamental to modern cloud computing, enabling teams to define and manage infrastructure through machine-readable configuration files. However, different cloud service providers utilize diverse IaC formats. The lack of a standardized format requires cloud architects to be proficient in multiple IaC languages, adding complexity to cloud deployment. While Large Language Models (LLMs) show promise in automating IaC creation and maintenance, progress has been limite…

Self-Healing Network of Interconnected Edge Devices Empowered by Infrastructure-as-Code and LoRa Communication
This Paper proposes a self-healing, automated network of Raspberry Pi devices designed for deployment in scenarios where traditional networking is unavailable. Leveraging the low-power, long-range capabilities of the LoRa (Long Range) protocol alongside Infrastructure as Code (IaC) methodologies, the research addresses challenges such as limited bandwidth, data collisions, and node failures. Given that LoRa's packet-based system is incompatible with conventional IaC tools like Ansible and Terra…

Minimalistic Autonomous Stack for High-Speed Time-Trial Racing
Autonomous racing has seen significant advancements, driven by competitions such as the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) and the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL). However, developing an autonomous racing stack for a full-scale car is often constrained by limited access to dedicated test tracks, restricting opportunities for real-world validation. While previous work typically requires extended development cycles and significant track time, this paper introduces a minimalistic autonomous…

HiPERCAM and TESS observations of the rapidly rotating M7V star LP 89--187
The discovery of a significant number of rapidly rotating low mass stars showing no or few flares in TESS observations was a surprise as rapid rotation has previously been taken as implying high stellar activity. Here we present TESS and HiPERCAM $u_{s}g_{s}r_{s}i_{s}z_{s}$ observations of one of these stars LP 89--187 which has a rotation period of 0.117 d. TESS data covering three sectors (64.6 d) only show three flares which have energies a few $\times10^{33}$ erg, whilst HiPERCAM observatio…

OpenLambdaVerse: A Dataset and Analysis of Open-Source Serverless Applications
Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) is at the core of serverless computing, enabling developers to easily deploy applications without managing computing resources. With an Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) approach, frameworks like the Serverless Framework use YAML configurations to define and deploy APIs, tasks, workflows, and event-driven applications on cloud providers, promoting zero-friction development. As with any rapidly evolving ecosystem, there is a need for updated insights into how these tools …

Interactive High-Performance Visualization for Astronomy and Cosmology
The exponential growth of data in Astrophysics and Cosmology demands scalable computational tools and intuitive interfaces for analysis and visualization. In this work, we present an innovative integration of the VisIVO scientific visualization framework with the InterActive Computing (IAC) service at Cineca, enabling interactive, high-performance visual workflows directly within HPC environments. Through seamless integration into Jupyter-based science gateways, users can now access GPU-enabled…

Observation of undepleted phosphine in the atmosphere of a low-temperature brown dwarf
The atmospheres of low-temperature brown dwarfs and gas giant planets are expected to contain the phosphine molecule, PH$_3$ However, previous observations have shown much lower abundances of this molecule than predicted by atmospheric chemistry models. We report JWST spectroscopic observations of phosphine in the atmosphere of the brown dwarf Wolf 1130C. Multiple absorption lines due to phosphine are detected around 4.3 $μ$m, from which we calculate a phosphine abundance of 0.100$\pm$0.009 pa…
