EIC/BNL Computing discussion

        Yes you have asked and I answered (I thought). Let me
try again.

        There is no explicit intent to have multiple instances
of zenodo, one for each experiment. The experiment will
decide what they want and from a maintenance perspective,
one for all is best (but in the past, experiments have
demanded their own instance for some services).

        Now, the deployment of THIS instance was done in a
way that we do not impact the Covid19 effort (which pre-dated
the request for a testbed).

        We created an alias/name for this
instance ( https://eic-zenodo.sdcc.bnl.gov/) to make easier to
all to remember where it is. Aliases are "cheap". We can
ask for another  https://lalal-zenodo.sdcc.bnl.gov/ for
experiment lalala and this surely does not mean it points
to a different instance (again depends on what the experiment
wants and what are their requirements as well). I do not
see a problem following a path of maximal flexibility ...
Do you?

        Hopefully, this answers your inquiry.
        Thanks,
