| Abstract: |
LSST has chosen Kubernetes as the platform for deploying and
operating the LSST Science Platform. We first present the
background reasoning behind this decision, including both
instrument-agnostic as well as LSST-specific requirements.
We then discuss the basic principles of Kubernetes and Helm, and how
they are used as the deployment base for the LSST Science Platform.
Furthermore, we provide an example of how an external group may
use these publicly available software resources to deploy their own
instance of the LSST Science Platform, and customize it
to their needs. Finally, we discuss how more astronomy software
can follow these patterns to gain similar benefits. |
