Cloud Computing: Glossary

Kubernetes is an orchestrator of containers. It is most useful when it is run in a cluster of computers

Commercial K8s clusters are a good option for large computing needs.

We can run our containerized CMSSW jobs and subsequent analysis workflows in a K8s cluster.

First key point. Brief Answer to questions. (FIXME)

It takes just a few clicks to create you own K8s cluster

kubectl is the ruler of GKE

Argo is a very useful tool for running workflows and parallel jobs

To be able to write, read and extract data, a few services/resources need to be set up on the GCP

Once a cluster is created on the Kubernetes Engine, it is really simple to explore its elements.

Connection to the cluster can be achieved using the Cloud Shell.

With a simple but a tight yaml structure, a full-blown analysis can be performed using the Argo tool on a K8s cluster.
