Big Data and Data Science Technology, E24 course exercises

This repository contains the exercises related to the course Big Data and Data Science Technology, E24 at University of Southern Denmark.

Instructors

This year's instructors are Kasper Svane and Anders Launer Bæk-Petersen who completed the course in E23 and E22 respectively. We will facilitate the exercise hours and are available on the announced Discord channel for this course. We encourage you to provide open and direct feedback along the semester. Please feel free to open new GitHub issues for bugs, etc. here if you encounter unclear information or experience bugs in our examples!

Objective

The objective of the exercises is to navigate you through the practical aspects of the curriculum. Last semester, we transitioned from the docker-compose orchestrator to Kubernetes to minimize the gap between a single host system and a multi-node system (E23). Therefore our focus is to provide exercises that give you hands-on experience with Kubernetes and the tools that are commonly used in the Big Data and Data Science field.

Our primary focus this semester is twofold:

• Fill in the missing gaps with extra exercises to match the curriculum for this course.
• Streamline the existing exercises.

Connect to the shared Kubernetes cluster

You will be using a shared Kubernetes cluster for the exercises hosted by the university. All the exercises are designed to be run from your localhost using kubectl commands.

You will be provided with a kubeconfig file that you can use to connect to the cluster prior to the first exercise session. Information about the kubeconfig file(s) can be discoreved here: Configure Access to Multiple Clusters. For further information, please look into Organizing Cluster Access Using kubeconfig Files if you need to manage multiple Kubernetes clusters in your own environment.
