Issue DM-6842: Deal with emergent related requests  affecting operations planning in June
There emergent request for comment emerged in June. 1) The interim project manager, directed that the project begin an investigation into Amazon Wen Service due to contacts he developed at a Data base orient workshop he sponsors. Formulating a response required a review of the service offered by AWS, and inquiring about the validity of pursing an evaluation of just one vendor in a marketplace that has many vendors, and a deciding that an appropriate amount of work was to send additional NCSA staff to an AWS workshop to gain a similar appreciation of AWS as was gained at the database meeting at SLAC. (Authority of interim project manager to insist on immediate action was also sorted out) 2) Request to understand computing capabilities at alternate site from the Deputy director. Support for for alternate site capabilities are documented in the the emerging L2 Batch concept of operations a copy of which was shared (though draft status noted) 3) Processed a summary of the Camera meeting which occurred at SLAC. Did not find conclusions that related to a concept of operations. IN particular we could not understand it there was a call for computing and a summit data service to support disconnected operations, or if this was a mere optimization in the system to relocate the acquisition and forwarding infrstructure to the summit, with no other changes.
