Project Description

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 cover

1) Testing HPCCSystems Cluster   2) Pod Horizontal Autoscaler , Pod Vertical  Autoscaler and GKE Node Autoscaler. We also hope the student can explore  Google Cloud Run and Anthos 3) Explore Anthos support with HPCC Systems Platform Cluster on GKE.If you are interested in this project, please contact Add email link to mentor..

HPCC Systems Cloud on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) initial work: nfs.yaml and values-for-gke.yaml
