Description

Within the platform development team of the LIRIS, I contributed to the setup of the PAGoDA platform.

This platform was designed to assist researchers in the specification, configuration and deployment stage of an environment to manage and analyze big data.

Activities

Regarding the PAGoDA, my main activities were:

Hardware and software architecture design of the application,
Setup tools to automate the management of the platform, mainly via Ansible to:
- Deploy the virtualize hardware architecture via OpenStack,
- Deploy and configure containerization and orchestration tools, such as Docker, Rancher, Kubernetes, Helm,
Watch about monitoring systems and setup prototype, such as Prometheus, Grafana, Elastic Stack,
Write technical documentation, via MkDocs.

In parallel with these activities, I contributed to the setup of automatic tools for Continuous Integration (CI), such as:

Automatic deployment of hardware and software for Gitlab Runners,
Use of these runners to automatically deploy documentation, run linter and tests, etc.

I also offered internal training in the laboratory about Git usage and about data security (gpg, KeepassXC, Hard Drive Encryption, …).
