Study Notes

Big Data Systems

The presentation covers Big Data Systems, Data Centers, and Cloud Computing.
The presenter, Martin Boissier, from the Hasso-Plattner-Institut, is the source of much of the information
The course material involves a timeline of topics and lectures, and there is a diagram showing the relationships between the various system components/levels
A fundamental concept of Data Centers is discussed, including an anatomy of a datacenter

Timeline of Topics

Topics covered include Introduction and Organizational Overview, Performance Management, Map Reduce I, Map Reduce II, Data Centers, File Systems, Key Value Stores I & II, Key Value Stores III, Stream Processing I & II, and Machine Learning Systems I.

Data Centers

Large-scale facilities housing a considerable number of servers.
Contains multiple rack systems, and a high number of servers.
Includes various hardware components, including servers, RAM, and hard drives.
Numbering greater than 100,000 servers are common, e.g. Google Data Centers
Commodity CPUs are a key component, such as the Xeon E5-2440 or Xeon Gold 6148.

Virtualization

Abstracting the operating system from the hardware, enabling multiple operating systems and applications on a single server.
This reduces costs, improves efficiency, and allows for easier management and scaling of resources.

Scheduling

Managing the allocation of resources, like CPU, memory, and disk space, to optimize performance and resource utilization.
Different scheduling algorithms, like First-In-First-Out (FIFO), Shortest Task First (STF), and Round Robin, are used to schedule concurrent jobs in a cluster.
Various schedulers such as Kubernetes, Mesos, YARN, Amazon ECS, Microsoft ACS, and Docker Swarm.

Cloud Computing

On-demand access to a shared pool of computing resources, including storage, servers, and networking.
Service models: IaaS, PaaS, SaaS.
Public, private and hybrid clouds.
Transformation of the IT industry

Fault Tolerance (Google)

Frequent issues within data centers include overheating, Power Distribution Unit (PDU) failures, rack moves, and network problems.
There are numerous types of failures, including outages, bandwidth/connectivity issues, and hard drive failures.
