Big data infrastructure internship | Adaltas

By Lillian J. Brown 2 years ago

Job description

Big Data and distributed computing are at the core of Adaltas. We accompagny our partners in the deployment, maintenance, and optimization of some of the largest clusters in France. Since recently we also provide support for day-day operations.

As a great defender and active contributor of open source, we are at the forefront of the data platform initiative TDP (TOSIT Data Platform).

During this internship, you will contribute to the development of TDP, its industrialization, and the integration of new open source components and new functionalities. You will be accompanied by the Alliage expert team in charge of TDP editor support.

You will also work with the Kubernetes ecosystem and the automation of datalab deployments Onyxia, which we want to make available to our customers as well as to students as part of our teaching modules (devops, big data, etc.).

Your qualifications will help to expand the services of Alliage’s open source support offering. Supported open source components include TDP, Onyxia, ScyllaDB, … For those who would like to do some web work in addition to big data, we already have a very functional intranet (ticket management, time management, advanced search, mentions and related articles, …) but other nice features are anticipated.

You will practice GitOps release chains and write articles.

You will work in a team with senior advisors as mentor.

Company presentation

Adaltas is a consulting agency led by a team of open source experts focusing on data management. We deploy and operate the storage and computing infrastructures in collaboration with our customers.

During the internship, you will learn:

  • The Kubernetes/Hadoop ecosystem in order to contribute to the TDP project
  • Securing clusters with Kerberos and SSL/TLS certificates
  • High availability (HA) of services
  • The distribution of resources and workloads
  • Supervision of services and hosted applications
  • Fault tolerant Hadoop cluster with recoverability of lost data on infrastructure failure
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC) via DevOps tools such as Ansible and [Vagrant](/en/tag/hashicorp- vagrant/)
  • Be comfortable with the architecture and operation of a data lakehouse
  • Code collaboration with Git, Gitlab and Github

Responsibilities

  • Become familiar with the architecture and configuration methods of the TDP distribution
  • Deploy and test secure and highly available TDP clusters
  • Contribute to the TDP knowledge base with troubleshooting guides, FAQs and articles
  • Actively contribute ideas and code to make iterative improvements to the TDP ecosystem
  • Research and analyze the differences between the main Hadoop distributions
