Hello Shane,

I have seen the issue you filed on GitHub; I'm replying here but
either forum is equally good.

What is not clear to me is: did you install these 20 machines with
ElastiCluster? (I'd say
no, since you seem not to have an ".elasticluster/config" file...)

Or rather did you install all the  software you mention by yourself?
If yes, then you have basically done all the work that ElastiCluster
is supposed to do :-), so what would be the use you envision for
ElastiCluster?

Finally: there are different types of compute clusters that can be
installed by ElastiCluster (SLURM, GridEngine, Spark/Hadoop, etc.) --
what is it that you like to install on your machines?

To clarify a bit, ElastiCluster basically does two things:

1. Provision VMs on a IaaS cloud provider
2.Configure these VMs using Ansible playbooks

With some work arounds, you should be able to skip step 1. and only
use the playbooks to configure a bunch of machines, but that requires
some knowledge of Ansible's workings (which the main ElastiCluster
program tries to shield you from, generally).

Does this help?

Ciao,
R

P.S. I have taken the liberty of changing the email subject since I do
not think that "FAQ or How-To's" matches the topic.
