Project: Kubernetes Backend for VC3 + SLATE
Mentors/Lab: Dr. Rob Gardner, Lincoln Bryant, & Chris Weaver/MANIAC Lab
Research Area Keywords: Databases // Systems & Architecture
I iterated on scientific software projects VC3 and SLATE by replacing OpenStack backend to create ‘login pods’ that can be dynamically provisioned on a lightweight Kubernetes backend, which could improve hardware usage by 2-3 times. I used tools such as Docker, Kubernetes, and Jenkins, and expanded my knowledge of Python, UNIX Shell programming languages, and Linux authorization and authentication mechanisms.
