Write a blog post about the U. Toronto hub deployment #141

Open choldgraf opened 3 years ago

choldgraf commented 3 years ago

Summary

We've been running infrastructure for the University of Toronto for about 9 months now. We should write a blog post that discusses this deployment, including things like:

Broad description of the deployment
Challenges that we have faced
Lessons that we have learned
Estimated cost per student (or per class)

Actions

[ ] Maybe @lheagy could give a suggestion about what would be useful? :-)
[ ] Write a blog post draft
[ ] Post it!

Thanks for starting this @choldgraf! Here are a couple of suggested titles. In some ways, I think it depends a bit on if you would like to make this a bit of a series? e.g. 2i2c Case Studies: deployment at Uni / Institute or 2i2c Partners: Uni / Institute.

I could imagine growing a collection of posts about different deployments and discussion of some of the constraints / needs that make each somewhat unique, but also that might have connections with other Universities (e.g. some of the privacy constraints about working on Data Centers in Canada that UToronto faces are similar at UBC)

A similar blog post was suggested as part of the Pangeo collaboration, so I don't think it's too out of scope to go for a series?

A blog post about the Toronto hub deployment would be also a great opportunity to have something solid written about that one in our internal docs. Currently, I think that deployment lives in @yuvipanda @GeorgianaElena and @choldgraf heads :wink: (I know there is a repo reference in the pilots-hub docs, but I think that is probably all the info we have documented, unless I am missing something - that could be the case).
