Virtual Clusters in the Jetstream Cloud [link]

Website doi abstract bibtex

We discuss our work providing resources for batch computing via the Jetstream cloud, in the form of SLURM clusters. While these are mainly used by science gateways, there have been a few used in the more traditional commandline manner. The flexible nature of these has also lent itself well to educational work, and has provided the basis for a very successful series of tutorials and workshops. This paper discusses the technical evolution of the Virtual Cluster product, and gives an overview of the science enabled. We discuss the challenges in supporting an ecosystem of these virtual clusters, and in supporting research on cloud resources in general.
