Implementation Approach

Backend - Python (Flask)

• Open specification API
• No authentication (will be covered by gateway later on)
• provision for users
• provision for workspace
• Environment Images
  • CRUD
  • status check on server
• Runs (container launch)
  • CRUD
  • status check on active runs
  • History of old runs

Backend Store - MongoDB

• Collections
  • environment
  • runs

Scheduler

• Using Ofelia
• schedule call to backend
  • check status for existing runs
  • check status for available images
• schedule least-recently-used images by retention policy
  • do we really need this?
  • using Docuum
