Clustering for beginners. Few questions.

Hello!

I need some advices from You. How many days i need to setup cluster using virtual box for mid exp user? Do you have any ideas related to master thesis related to clustering? I need to include some search aspect within that topic.Can You recommend some books/docs about that case?

Thank You in advance for your tips/advices!

The reply to your "How many days" question depends, primarily, on the number of nodes in the cluster, does it not?

2 nodes:)

Any ideas what can I investigate within such cluster to consider it as master degree project?

Not to disparage your masters degree ideas, but a "two node cluster" seems more like a high school level computer science project in the year 2017, or at best an undergraduate degree project.

My second comment is that it seems backwards to choose a two node cluster and then look for a problem to investigate.

Normally, engineers and scientists, even at the university level (but not always), have a problem they wish to investigate and then they look for various technological ways to solve it.

Configuring a two node cluster is a one or two day project for any one who has basic unix/linux sys admin skills, I would think.

heh:) understood , but idea of building cluster from 2 or more nodes is just the beginning. I have to do something more - this is obvious. The question there is what can You recomend to search? I consider You as well exp admin so your advice will be helpful as well. For example some scenario about discarding storage (pendrive) etc what do You think? I have specialisation about security. Your ideas are welcome!
