National Research Platform
Community-owned Kubernetes platform sharing compute, storage, and networking across institutions.
The National Research Platform (NRP) is a community-owned platform that connects institutions and researchers to shared computing, storage, and networking resources.
My contribution is platform operations: keeping the multi-tenant Kubernetes environment, its Ceph storage, and its Open Science Data Federation (OSDF) caches dependable for the groups running on them.
Multi-tenancy is the hard part. Dozens of research groups share one cluster, so a single workload that misbehaves is everyone’s problem — most of this work is about isolation, observability, and making the platform’s limits legible before a researcher hits them.
