Advisor: Dr. Brylow

Summer 2023 Project:

Week 1 (05/30/23 - 06/03/23)

Tuesday (05/30)

My initial thoughts are that documentation is relatively sparse for Abacus from what I have read and been given (have not looked at github yet). I'm a little confused on some of the terms used such as Kubernetes cluster and how scalability is currently implemented. Further I'm currently unsure of the actual structure of abacus right now as the documentation provided to me is from before we made the switch from amazon services and so in the diagram as well as in several of the other documents it shows we are still using S3, Elastic Beanstalk, DynamoDB, and Lambda which I have been lead to believe has changed so I will be looking for clarification as well as delving deeper both before the meeting tomorrow as well as following the meeting tomorrow. Based off of Diagram I am lead to believe that the function of DynamoDB was wholly replaced with MongoDB and should function as intended, I'm unsure if we have replaced Lambda with something that works in the same capacity to communicate between the DB and Piston. I'm currently unfamiliar with Docker however following tomorrows meeting I plan to begin reading the documentation on docker to better understand its importance to the system outside of the short paragraph that has been provided in the User Guide.

Wednesday (05/31)

Today I had a lecture on Good research practices. Following this I had a meeting with the team that is working on improving Abacus to discuss the roadmap for these ten weeks. After that I worked on getting Abacus setup in the local environment and in the process bricked my laptop.

Saturday (06/03)

Today I completed Unit 2 of the online RCR training.

Week 2 (06/04/23 - 06/10/23)

Sunday (06/04)

Finished Unit 3 of the Online training and began working on five slide presentation on Test-the-Rest

Monday (06/05)

Did in person RCR training followed by finishing of five slide presentation.

Tuesday (06/06)

Began reading through documentation both on and relating to Ansible

Also looked into Scratch to better understand the impact it has had on the computer science education landscape

Wednesday (06/07)

Continued background research on Ansible at the above links and began to play around with its playbook environment.

Thursday (06/08)

Gave presentation on my findings from Test-the-Rest and Scratch.

Friday (06/09)

Began searching for and reading several research papers surrounding both the testing of and deployment of Kubernetes Clusters.

Week 2 (06/04/23 - 06/10/23)

Monday (06/12)

Finally settled on a study done at Lodz University of Technology in Lodz, Poland. The study centers around both how to deploy a cluster and compares two methods of deployment via AWS : KOPS and EKSCTL.

Need to look into one of these resources for monitoring of abacus Nagios, OpenNMS, Flapjack, Zenoss, Tivoli from IBM, Operations Manager from HP, Splunk
