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.

The project proposal application period for 2020 summer internships is now open. Please see our list of Available Projects. Contact the project mentor for more information and to discuss your ideas. You may suggest a project idea of your own but it must leverage HPCC Systems in some way. Contact us for support from an HPCC Systems mentor with experience in your chosen project area.
Project Description
More and more companies are moving to cloud environment. But for truly benefit the cloud infrastructure, particularly to get the job done and save money is till a challenge. This project will try to explore how to use AWS EC2 Spot Instances for some our HPCC Systems development works, such as nightly builds, some function tests, etc. Spot Instances are much cheaper than the same type normal instance. Most spot instances will not have the pre-requisites suitable for HPCC Systems Development. We may need provision the spot instance before use it. Or we can pre-create a Docker image with all pre-requisite packages. The project need knowledge of AWS (EC2, Client API, S3, etc), Docker, Unix Shell, maybe Python and also HPCC Systems knowledge. The students may not have all these skills but should eager to learn.
If you are interested in this project, please contact Gordon Smith.
