About

The thesis title “Auto-scaling an optimisation algorithm using Docker and Kubernetes on the NeCTAR Research Cloud“ is written for my master’s dissertation at The University of Melbourne. It is written in the context of a Software Development Project track, hence, it is tutorial/experiment oriented record of the research work that had done. It will be useful for those who seek to learn Kubernetes in general and auto-scaling of containerised application.
