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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticluster" group.
