Practical Approach to Distributed Web Infrastructure
Since the opening of the university, there had been an extracurricular project to learn basic administration of UNIX systems. However, since the course was no longer offered, I decided to offer a new course, SCCP, which focuses on large-scale distributed systems and cloud computing.
-
After FY2020, students will focus on learning to use Kubernetes and Docker, and will aim to make use of these technologies.
-
In FY 2019, students learned to use Kubernetes and Docker in the first semester, and in the second semester, they decided their own goals and carried out voluntary activities.
-
From FY 2018, we continued to use the Raspberry Pi3 as a desktop environment while learning about management using Ansible and other tools. We also newly learned about Kubernetes operations and included containers as a theme.
-
In FY 2016 and 2017, we continued to use Raspberry Pi 3 and BeagleBoneBlack to learn about load balancers and HA configurations, while also covering case studies of failures that made the news.
-
In FY 2015, we used Raspberry Pi (B+ and 2) and BeagleBoneBlack to learn about High-Availability (HA) configuration of a group of web servers using VRRP, etc., with the aim of (tentatively) building and (tentatively) providing specific services.
-
In 2014, the study group focused on automation technologies for virtualization environments, from management of standalone UNIX systems to targeting Apache CloudStack.
