Hi Riccardo, Not sure if this suggestion makes much sense, I am not an expert in neither boto or terraform or elasticluster, but lately I have tested Terraform and it seems a really useful and powerful tool to boot cloud environments. After some quick tests I was really impressed about how easy to use and powerful it is .
Terraform has providers for AWS/GCE/OpenStack/Azure (and many others) https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/ in a quick google search I have also found some python wrappers (I haven't tested them though) https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-terraform/0.9.1 https://github.com/mjuenema/python-terrascript Maybe for the future you want to evaluate to option of delegating to terraform the communication with cloud apis and rely in ansible only for configuration. Without being an expert in the topic IMHO it seems more powerful than boto just an idea ;) regards, Pablo. p.s. I haven't forgot about our project, it's just that I am crazy overloaded with other projects which should be "finished yesterday" On Tue, Mar 20, 2018 at 11:18 PM, Riccardo Murri <riccardo.mu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear all, > > I have just merged the new Azure provider into the "master" branch; > this means the Docker image will get working Azure support in a few > minutes. > > The configuration information has changed; please see > http://elasticluster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configure.html#valid- > configuration-keys-for-azure > and especially http://elasticluster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ > configure.html#valid-configuration-keys-for-azure > to know what needs to be there. > An example config is provided at: > https://github.com/gc3-uzh-ch/elasticluster/blob/master/ > examples/slurm-and-gridengine-on-azure-complete.conf > > At least a couple of features are unsupported: > > * security groups: Azure only allows 1 security group per VM; still, > ElastiCLuster currently ignores this parameter and creates a new > security group, > named like the cluster, initially containing rules to allow inbound > SSH.
