Student can based on current Azure File and EFS examples and adapt them to CSI driver.
Update: Azure File CSI support is already done so student will focus on AWS EFS and FSx. There are possible three variations of each type:
1) Automatically creating CSI PV/PVC when HPCC Systems started. The life cycle will HPCC Systems cluster which means when HPCC Systems destroyed the PV/PVC will be automatically deleted.
2) Start CSI PV/PVC first with Helm Chart before starting HPCC Systems. The PV/PVC will be still live after HPCC Systems cluster destroyed. But delete Kubernetes cluster will destroy the PV/PVC. So the life cycle will be Kubernetes cluster.
3) Start CSI PV/PVC first with Helm Chart before starting HPCC Systems. But the PV/PVC can be persistent even the Kubernetes cluster destroyed. The life cycle is beyond Kubernetes cluster. The CSI PV/PVC can be reused by following Kubernetes and HPCC System clusters. It is very useful for data processed once but will used by various following applications
HPCC-Platform/helm/examples/azure at master · hpcc-systems/HPCC-Platform (github.com) implemented all 3 cases for Azure File
HPCC-Platform/helm/examples/efs at master · hpcc-systems/HPCC-Platform (github.com) implementede 2)
Student work experience opportunities also exist for students who want to suggest their own project idea. Project suggestions must be relevant to HPCC Systems and of benefit to our open source community.
