Project Description
More and more An increasing number of companies are moving to cloud environment. But for truly benefit environments. However, taking full advantage of the cloud infrastructure, particularly to get the job done and save money is till while minimizing cost, remains a challenge. This project will try to explore how to use AWS EC2 Spot Instances for some of our HPCC Systems development works, such as nightly builds, some function tests, etc. Spot Instances are much cheaper than the same type normal instancetheir on-demand counterparts. Most spot instances will not have the pre-requisites suitable for HPCC Systems Development. We may need to provision the spot instance before use it . Or can be used for our development purposes. As another option, we can pre- create a Docker image with all pre-requisite of the prerequisite packages. The project need requires knowledge of AWS (EC2, Client API, S3, etc), Docker, Unix Shell, Jenkins, maybe Python and also HPCC Systems knowledge. The students may not have all these skills but should be eager to learn the required tools or technologies.
