Experiences Migrating the Agave Platform to A Kubernetes Native System on the Jetstream Cloud

Abstract

The Agave Platform is a Science-as-a-Service (ScaaS) platform for reproducible science the current production deployments of the platform are deployed and managed using Ansible and Docker Compose. While capable, this has historically led to operational complexity for those adopting the platform. Over the last year, we have worked to migrate the platform to a Kubernetes native deployment. In this paper we discuss our experiences evolving the platform, its architecture, and getting the most out of the Jetstream cloud.
