Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : warewulf4 Version : 4.3.0 Upstream Author : Gregory Kurtzer <gmkurt...@gmail.com> and others from HPCng community * URL : https://warewulf.org/ * License : BSD-3-clause Programming Lang: Go Description : operating system provisioning platform for Linux
Long description ================ Warewulf is an operating system provisioning platform for Linux that is designed to produce secure, scalable, turnkey cluster deployments that maintain flexibility and simplicity. . Since its initial release in 2001, Warewulf has become the most popular open source and vendor-agnostic provisioning system within the global HPC community. Warewulf is known for its massive scalability and simple management of stateless (disk optional) provisioning. . Warewulf leverages a simple administrative model centralizing administration around virtual node images which are used to provision out to the cluster nodes. This means you can have hundreds or thousands of cluster nodes all booting and running on the same, identical virtual node file system image. Additional information ====================== This package would be useful to manage HPC (High Performance Computing) clusters (or other kinds of clusters), where many nodes boot from a limited number of system images. These OS images may be updated and/or modified and then propagated to the associated nodes. Please note that this is a complete rewrite in Go (with different license) with respect to version 3 (see bug #919494). Hence, this RFP bug report should not be merged with the other one.
