This PoC is to develop what is likely to be a common requirement within Higher Education as researchers increasingly want to make their data available through a web service. It could equally be a LAMP stack but I am working with a researcher who is using RShiny already. This is also a common scenario outside of HE so expect that it would be relatively simple to develop from existing DevOps materials. I envisage spinning up an appropriate VM instance, setting up the RShiny/LAMP stack, downloading the code base from a repository and connecting to the data on Blob/Bucket storage, possibly setting up some logging on some DB/noSQL provision?
- Create a learning path for spinning up an RShiny server
- Create Blueprints and learning path to ensure security: data, access and cost
