MSPs frequently rely on distributed, low-cost nodes to execute repeatable tasks at scale. This project simulates that pattern using real hardware and SSH-based orchestration.
Objective
Simulate distributed automation using stateless, low-resource workers managed from a central controller.
Implementation
Designed a controller/worker orchestration model with a secure Ubuntu node as controller and Android devices running Linux userland (Termux) as workers.
Implemented key-based SSH/SCP pipelines for secure task distribution and artifact retrieval.
Executed 12,000+ automated runs fetching, processing, and returning artifacts.
Ensured workers remained stateless and replaceable throughout.
Result
A lightweight automation system demonstrating remote execution, orchestration logic, and MSP-style task workflows — built using modest hardware and clear operational discipline.
