Development of Agent for Multi-Tenant Distributed Computing Platform

Recently, systems that allow users to perform various tasks and processes using distributed computing are gaining popularity. Existing systems have several disadvantages, such as poor scalability or lack of a convenient external API. This paper presents Sky, a distributed computing platform, which allows you to run tasks on user-provided computing resources, and an agent who will register such resources, launch and monitor tasks launched on them. This platform has a microservice architecture, which makes it easy to scale the application. The platform components are written in Go and communicate with each other using gRPC and HTTP. The agent is a separate microservice, which in turn allows you to use it in other systems using the specified interaction interface. The feature of the agent in this system is its versatility. It can be run not only on Unix machines, but also in Docker containers. At the same time, the tasks themselves can be explicitly launched in the system or a separate virtual image.
