<p class="MsoNormal">Howdy,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just wondering if any sites are running containerized Slurmctld and Slurmdbd in production?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are in the process of planning migrating from a single host running slurmctld, slurmdbd, and MySQL (and other HPC services) to separate OpenStack VMs. Our site averages less than 1000’s running / pending jobs at any given time. Like
many HPC sites, our jobs are a mix of long running, large arrays, very short…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I ran across this Github project “<b>Slurm Docker Cluster”</b>
<a href="https://github.com/giovtorres/slurm-docker-cluster">https://github.com/giovtorres/slurm-docker-cluster</a> and got me thinking that this method might be great for simpler upgrades, ease of reproducing the cluster in development, etc…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How about it, anyone running containerized Slurm server processes in production?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks, Mike<b><o:p></o:p></b></p>
