In the HPC space, this is called grid-computing. I've used Slurm (https://slurm.schedmd.com/ https://slurm.schedmd.com/) in the past with good success.

- dnautics 6y agoId say that slurm is slightly more challenging to configure than kubernetes, but on the other hand there's pretty much one way to do it, and you're not searching among every other use case to find it. It is however designed for secure networks where you have total control over the physical layer-2. If that gets compromised you can be in a world of hurt. In a past life i configured and set up slurm in vpcs in amazon, was kind of a fun exercise.
- satya71 6y agoTrue, I had not considered the security aspect. Security is usually considered a non-issue in HPC circles.
- dnautics 6y agoIt's not a non-issue, it's just a different security model. You need to audit all of the code going into the data center, but once it's there it's (ideally) a hermetically sealed safe space.
