Enhancing the Canasta Maintenance Script: Segregation of Each Wiki's Images and Cache in a Farm
[edit]Introduction
[edit]The objective of this project was to improve the efficiency and accessibility of the Canasta Maintenance Script by segregating each Wiki's images and cache in a distributed environment, i.e., a farm. This modification was crucial to allow for independent operation, better resource management, and ease of troubleshooting, thereby drastically improving the utility of the Canasta system.
Methodology
[edit]Our main tasks were:
- Design and Implementation of the Enhanced Maintenance Script: We designed an upgraded maintenance script with the functionality to segregate each wiki's images and cache. This was a crucial enhancement as it allowed the system to independently manage and process each wiki's resources.
- Distribution of Resources across a Farm: Once the segregation functionality was implemented, we proceeded to distribute the individual resources across a farm. This allowed the system to optimize resource allocation and efficiently process a high volume of requests.
Results and Implications
[edit]Post implementation, the enhancement led to significant improvements:
- Increased Efficiency: The segregation of images and cache per wiki led to a considerable increase in processing efficiency. By dealing with smaller, more manageable units of data, the system can process requests quicker, improving overall performance.
- Improved Scalability: The distribution of resources across a farm provides the system with high scalability. This means that as demand increases, the system can easily allocate more resources to ensure continued efficient operation.
- Better Troubleshooting and Maintenance: With each wiki's resources segregated, it's now easier to isolate issues and perform maintenance tasks. This leads to reduced downtime and improved reliability of the Canasta system.
- Optimized Resource Utilization: Distributing resources across a farm has allowed for optimal resource usage. This, in turn, translates to cost-effectiveness and allows more Wikis to be hosted with the same resources.
Future Work
[edit]Our future work is centered on further and comprehensively examining the farm feature to ensure its robustness, performance, and scalability.
