The main goal of this project is to build terraform based automation for setting up infrastructure in the cloud to help set up big data infrastructure. This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

- Learning about terraform and its capabilities.

- Setting up terraform scripts for the cloud infrastructure.

- Configuring helm charts for the big data infrastructure.

- Setting up load balancers and ingress.

- Testing the automation scripts and making improvements based on additional data.

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

- Understanding of terraform and its capabilities.

- Ability to set up terraform scripts for the cloud infrastructure.

- Ability to configure helm charts for the big data infrastructure.

- Ability to set up load balancers and ingress.

- Testing the automation scripts and making improvements based on additional data.

Final deliverables should include:

- All source code.

- A written report explaining the design process and outcomes.

We can provide requirements, cloud credits and oversight of work. We can have a dedicated staff member as well to support.
