The student will familiarize himself with containerization principles and, more importantly, the Kubernetes orchestration system. Furthermore, he will study the S3-compatible object storage MinIO, its architecture, and deployment options. The student will design a dedicated Kubernetes cluster architecture to deploy high-speed object storage based on MinIO, including necessary supporting components and functions for its day-to-day operations, management, and monitoring. The student will then implement and deploy this design into a production environment and synthetically benchmark its performance. The main thesis result will be a set of automation rules, manifests, and service definitions for the Kubernetes platform and the documentation of key activities required for its maintenance.
