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

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.
