Whether a user wants to host their website, run code for a class, or work on a side project, our service will give them a container to fit these tasks. Initially, people who use the service would be those familiar enough with computers to use a VM or container, but the next step to this project would be to create user-friendly tools to allow anyone at MIT to run computationally intensive tasks without having to know how to use AWS. Hyades uses exciting open-source tools like Kubernetes, Envoy, Mesos, and Ceph. We are building our own kernel bypass packet-level load balancer, and a system architecture to bring techniques from top internet companies to MIT. + +If you're interested in contributing to Hyades, you can email [sipb-hyades@mit.edu](mailto:sipb-hyades@mit.edu) describing your interest and what part of the system you would like to work on, or come to a SIPB meeting and talk to one of the people working on Hyades! During the school year, we will also most likely be hosting a Hyades hackathon on Saturday in the SIPB office, so feel free to stop by. ## Gutenbach @@ -111,11 +110,11 @@ First steps towards improving compatibility of Mailman and Moira mailing list sy ## Usenet -SIPB runs the MIT usenet server news.mit.edu.
