Thanks Luca! I have just a couple of small suggestions.

Eiger consists of multicore [AMD Epyc Rome][ref-alps-zen2-node] compute nodes: please note that the total number of available compute nodes on the system might vary over time, therefore you might want to check them with the Slurm command `sinfo -s`.

Instead of adding this on the Eiger page, how about adding a section to the Slurm documentation about how to inspect the number of available nodes on a cluster.

That way we can link to it from all of the vCluster pages?

The slurm docs:
https://docs.cscs.ch/running/slurm/

The source for them is in /docs/running/slurm.md


The target date for full deployment of the new Eiger is **July 1, 2025**.
This documentation is for the updated cluster `Eiger.Alps` reachable at `eiger.alps.cscs.ch`, that has replaced the former cluster as of June 30 2025.
The previous [Eiger User Guide](https://confluence.cscs.ch/spaces/KB/pages/284426490/Alps+Eiger+User+Guide) is still available on the legacy Knowledge Base.

If the old Eiger is no longer available, we can remove this link completely?


Eiger is an Alps cluster that provides compute nodes and file systems designed to meet the needs of CPU-only workloads for the [HPC Platform][ref-platform-hpcp].

How about turning this into a note or info box, because Eiger.alps is no longer under construction?
