Description:
The objective of this project is to deploy and manage a scalable and highly available Kubernetes cluster at the edge on bare metal servers. This will enable the student to develop skills in areas such as cloud computing, container orchestration, and edge computing.
Furthermore, the student will help us in pentesting and finding general vulnerability issues with an emphasis on our DDos Protection in the L4 Layer.
Additionally to pentesting, QA tsting will be part of the student’s project. The student will help QA testing Gcore’s integration of cybersecurity with the cloud.
We will also introduce the student to our new DDoS Protection Platform and teach him how to run performance tests on it.
These tasks will ensure that the student obtains a deeper understanding of cybersecurity processes in a large company and gains hand-on experience in different testing processes that have a value for the company, too.

Tools:
1. Pentesting: Find general vulnerability issues and report them to your supervisor.
Emphasis: Pentesting of DDoS protection in L4 layer
2. QA testing of our integration of the cybersecurity with our cloud
3. Initiate a performance test of Gcore’s new DDoS Protection Platform and prepare a detailed report.
4. Optional Project: Deploy a bare metal infrastructure for the Kubernetes cluster.
Install and configure a managed Kubernetes solution based on GCORE Cloud.
Set up networking and storage solutions for the cluster to ensure high availability.
Deploy and manage applications on the cluster using standard Kubernetes tools such as Helm and kubectl.
Monitor and maintain the cluster to ensure it remains scalable and available.
