Summary
Horizontal scaling of HTTP caches: learn how to automate load-balancing with Kubernetes.
The OSG offers an integrated software stack and infrastructure used by the High-Energy Physics community to meet their computational needs. Frontier Squid is part of this software stack and acts as an HTTP proxy, caching requests to improve network usage. We seek a fellow to turn our existing single cache Kubernetes deployment into one that can scale horizontally using the same underlying storage for its cache.
