Expected date of deployment: Summer 2023

Updates from @jerrypgreenberg.

4. Upcoming work and/or development issues

• Three REHS students are here for the summer to work on optimizing how we build and deploy our Spack instances
• Create a dev & test spack instance(s) based on a subset of the the expanse/0.17.3/cpu and expanse/0.17.3/gpu instances
• Create and start build out of a sdsc/spack spack-0.20.0 deployment branch for Expanse and TSSC2
• Investigate creating a build cache on Jetstream2; may allow us to deploy more quickly during system maintenance
