This post is also published on medium My current work at pharmb.io entails adding kubernetes support to my light-weight Go-based scientific workflow engine, scipipe (kubernetes, or k8s for short, is Google’s open source project for orchestrating container based compute clusters), which should take scipipe from a simple “run it on your laptop” workflow system with HPC support still in the work, to something that can power scientific workflows on any set of networked computers that can run kubernetes, which is quite a few (AWS, GCE, Azure, your Raspberry Phi cluster etc etc).
