## Unikraft Summer Workshop 2024

Unikraft Summer Workshop 2024 (*USW'24*) is a **free and virtual** workshop held by members of the Unikraft community.
It focuses on cloud-native applications and on the unikernel technology that powers efficient and high performance cloud deployments.
This is the fourth edition of the event, after USoC'21 to USoC'23, and unlike the previous editions, we will focus on cloud deployments of Unikraft applications.

The three-week event holds a number of starter tutorials and workshops on how to configure, build, run, deploy and debug cloud applications using Unikraft.

There will be 6 sessions taking place in the first two weeks (between July 1 and July 12, 2024).
Each session takes place for 3 hours, in the 4pm-7pm CEST, in English.
Sessions will consist of talks and demos delivered by members of the Unikraft community, followed by practical tutorials that you will work on with support and supervision.
Sessions take place on [Unikraft's Discord server](https://bit.ly/UnikraftDiscord).

Topics include building unikernels, benchmarking, debugging, porting applications, virtualization and platform specifics.

The first 3 sessions (first week) will focus on using KraftKit, Unikraft's compation tool, to manage cloud applications.
The next 3 sessions (second week) will focus on the internals of Unikraft: the build system, native configuration options, application porting.

The two weeks with sessions will be followed by a week of working on the final project.
You will work on the project in teams of 2-3 people.
We will have support sessions online to help with the project.

On Saturday, 20 July 2024, 9am-5pm CEST, we will have the final hackathon, that consists of adding final touches to the project.
The hackathon will take place in hybrid format, in person, at the [The National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA of Bucharest](https://upb.ro/en/), and, online, [Unikraft's Discord server](https://bit.ly/UnikraftDiscord).
Participants will receive a participation diploma.
The first three teams will get special prizes.
All hackathon in-person participants will get a Unikraft T-shirt.

### Registration Challenges

#### First Challenge - Cloud Master

Create a `docker-compose.yml` file that sets up a [Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) application consisting of a database, a monitoring service, and a simple service that queries the database.
The goal is to create an environment where these services can interact seamlessly within Docker containers.

Services Overview:

* Database Service: You can use whatever database suits you.
* Stats Service: A service that computes and provides statistical data (e.g. Grafana).
* Query Service: A simple API that interacts with the database (can be done in any programming language you like).

Be creative, use networks, volume, everything you like.
You can extend the stack as much as you like.

Submit the `docker-compose.yml` in the [registration form](https://forms.gle/6AMFoCoqJqKGdBgX6).

#### Second challenge - My First Unikernel

Download the Unikernel image from [here](https://github.com/unikraft-upb/USoC23-registration/raw/add-challenges/03-my-first-unikernel/my-first-unikernel_kvm-x86_64).
Run it using `qemu-system-x86_64` and find the flag.
Upload the flag in the [registration form](https://forms.gle/6AMFoCoqJqKGdBgX6).

Read the basic unikernel concepts [here](https://unikraft.org/docs/concepts).
