Using OpenStack to reduce HPC service complexity

Talkat FOSDEM 2022 · on Saturday, 2022-02-05· at 15:00· D.hpc· [cloud-infrastructure]

Describes Cambridge University’s use of OpenStack (Ironic for bare metal and KVM VMs) to manage a shared pool of hardware that can be partitioned into different platforms: large Slurm bare‑metal clusters (e.g., Wilkes‑3), trusted research environments, on‑demand AI and big‑data platforms. Explains combining bare‑metal OpenStack with Cluster API‑provisioned Kubernetes and KubeApps/JupyterHub to deliver both interactive on‑demand services and traditional HPC clusters from the same infrastructure.
