Hola, We were looking for the ability to make jobs perfectly reproducible - while the system is set up with environment modules with the increasing number of package management tools - pip/conda; npm; CRAN/Bioconductor - and people building increasingly more complex software stacks, our users have started asking about containerization and slurm.
I have found a discussion on this list from about a year ago https://groups.google.com/d/msg/slurm-devel/oPmz5em5tAA/BYlDDfRDzTgJ which mentioned a tool that's not been updated since and one called Shifter by NERSC, which is Cray specific?. Has anyone tried Shifter out and has there been any movement on this? I presume the licensing issues remain.
