It is unusual to have different flavors for the compute nodes. They are workers for the same cluster and I expect they are interchangeable. Or at least that's the rationale I use to create my clusters on the cloud.
But probably the authors of elasticluster (and I'm not) have a better answer. On Tuesday, December 18, 2018 at 9:23:25 AM UTC-5, Orxan Shibliyev wrote: > > Thanks for the reply.
