Automated Infrastructure

Project

The purpose of the project is to build a scalable, and reliable infrastructure for a complex software in the field of laboratory informatics. The software needs to be operated in a kubernetes cluster. The project makes scientific data more readily accessible for ease of integration, collaboration, analysis and long-term archiving. The Kubernetes cluster needs to be setup and configured in different customers’ infrastructure. Therefore, it should be designed in a highly-customizable approach.
