Hi All,
I am Vishnu V Chandrabalan (Vishnu V Chandrabalan - Lancaster University | LinkedIn). I am a Consultant Surgeon in the NHS (NW England) with above average technical skills. I am particularly interested in contributing to reproducible, containerised, auto-scaling deployments of DataSHIELD.
I am working with @olly on a Kubernetes version of the entire DataSHIELD stack and have several of the components working on Azure Kubernetes Service already. I am also working on a ‘DataSHIELD-in-a-box’ deployment - more on this in the coming months.
Look forward to working with the wider community,
Hi Vishnu,
Good to hear from you, I am also interested in containerisation of DataSHIELD, in particular to improve maintainable and easy of deployment. As I am sure you know there are docker compose based deployments of DataSHIELD. I have also been using Kubernetes (podman, minikube, and a bit of openshift) on the DataSHIELD related project.
