Exercises

Outline of the exercises. Because the exercises are new this year, it is hard to plan exactly, so this is likely to change a bit!

• Exercise 1: Getting started with Apache Spark. Installing Spark and running your first examples.
• Exercise 2: Programming Spark. Basic Spark programming. Simple streaming.
• Exercise 3: Streaming Spark. We will continue analysing tweets or other streaming types of information.
• Exercise 4: Spark in the cloud. We will run Apache Spark on a cluster of virtual machines in the OpenStack cloud.
• Exercise 5: Cloud management. We will automate upgrading and scaling of clusters using Terraform and Ansible.

I also hope to be able to do something with Docker, Docker Swarm and/or Kubernetes.
