GSOC: Varnish Cache support in Apache Traffic Control
Background
Apache Traffic Control is a Content Delivery Network (CDN) control plane for large scale content distribution.
Traffic Control currently requires Apache Traffic Server as the underlying cache. Help us expand the scope by integrating with the very popular Varnish Cache.
There are multiple aspects to this project:
- Configuration Generation: Write software to build Varnish configuration files (VCL). This code will be implemented in our Traffic Ops and cache client side utilities, both written in Go.
- Health Monitoring: Implement monitoring of the Varnish cache health and performance. This code will run both in the Traffic Monitor component and within Varnish. Traffic Monitor is written in Go and Varnish is written in C.
- Testing: Adding automated tests for new code
Skills:
- Proficiency in Go is required
- A basic knowledge of HTTP and caching is preferred, but not required for this project.
Difficulty: Major

CloudStack GSoC 2021 Ideas
Hello Students! We are the Apache CloudStack project. From our project website: "Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. CloudStack is used by a number of service providers to offer public cloud services, and by many companies to provide an on-premises (private) cloud offering, or as part of a hybrid cloud solution."

Here's about an hour-long intro to what is CloudStack - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qFFwyK9hos
All our Apache CloudStack GSoC2021 ideas are tracked on the project's Github issue:
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Agsoc2021
The general skills student would need are - Java, Python, JavaScript/Vue. Idea-specific requirements are mentioned on the idea issue.
We're a diverse and welcoming community and we encourage interested students to join the dev ML: http://cloudstack.apache.org/mailing-lists.html
We have an onboarding course for students to learn and get started with CloudStack:

Implement a Secure Scuttlebutt Server
Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB) is a peer-to peer communication protocol, mesh network, and self-hosted social media ecosystem. The Scuttlebutt Protocol Guide can be found here: https://ssbc.github.io/scuttlebutt-protocol-guide/. Starting from this link https://handbook.scuttlebutt.nz/ you can acquire quite a lot knowledge of the SSB protocol and orientations from the conceptual to the practical aspects of writing and using SSB based applications.
The task of this issue is to implement the functionality of an SSB server as done in JavaScript by https://github.com/ssbc/ssb-server, but using Apache Tuweni (Incubating) for the handshake and an Apache Clerezza based triple store for storing and querying the messages. Apache Tuweni (https://tuweni.apache.org/) is a set of libraries and other tools to aid development of blockchain and other decentralized software in Java and other JVM languages.
For those who are interested in getting more detail about SSB’s features and its operations, see also the paper titled "Secure Scuttlebutt: An Identity-Centric Protocol for Subjective and Decentralized Applications" attached in this issue.
