The full title of this project is:

Deploy HPCC Systems Platform on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Apply Node Autoscaler, Pod Horizontal Autoscaler and Pod Vertical Pod Autoscaler.  Explore Google Cloud Run and Anthos support with HPCC Systems Platform Cluster on GKE.

Instructions: Delete this section when complete. Use this template to specify the parameters of a new project idea. Project ideas must be suitable for student to complete during a 12 week internship. Projects may contribute a new feature, enhancement, POC to the HPCC Systems Platform or an interesting use case leveraging HPCC Systems. Supply enough information that it is clear what must be included in a project proposal seeking to solve the problem/produce the desired result. Supply links to additional resources and itemise a checklist of deliverables.

Find out about the HPCC Systems Summer Internship Program.

The project proposal application period for 2020 summer internships is now closed. Check back in the Fall for details about applying to join our 2021 program.

Project Description

More details coming soon.HPCC Systems Platform 7.8+ is able to be deployed on local Kubernetes and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)  using "azurefile" as a out of box solution. We will add AWS EKS with EFS soon. Google Cloud is another major Cloud provider and we want to make HPCC System Platform can deployed on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) as well. We have some developers doing some initial work in this area (create a NFS pod and storage class, for example). Depends on their progress this intern program continue the work or make some improvements.  This project will cover Pod Horizontal Autoscaler , Pod Vertical  Autoscaler and GKE Node Autoscaler. We also hope the student can explore  Google Cloud Run and Anthos support with HPCC Systems Platform Cluster on GKE.

Completion of this project involves:

  • <4+ high level tasks to be completed>

By the mid term review we would expect you to have:

...

involve

1) Deploy HPCC Systems Platform 7.8+ Cluster on GKE

2) At least support Pod Horizontal Scaling PH.

3) Optional support Pod Vertical Scaling and GKE node scaling

4) Explore and if possible provide supports of Cloud Run for HPCC Systems Cluster

5) Explore and if possible provide initial support of Anthos for HPCC Systems Cluster

Skills needed
  • Ability to build and test the HPCC system (guidance will be provided).
  • Ability to write test code. Knowledge of ECL is not a requirement since it should be possible to re-use existing code with minimal changes for this purpose. Links are provided below to our ECL training documentation and online courses should you wish to become familiar with the ECL  language.
