Sure!

So, for example, Rocks has an "EC2" roll that allegedly allows you to "deploy" nodes into the Amazon EC2 infrastructure (it's really an image upload into Amazon's network). There are also features in the roll that can create tunnels from your EC2 cluster back to your local hardware so that the EC2 nodes can be part of your private cluster network.

I am curious if there is anything on the roadmap for xCAT to be able to do something similar. I recognize that there are a whole lot of other pieces that would need to be figured out to truly have a useable cluster that also has semi-transparent "cloud" nodes, but just being able to deploy EC2/Google Cloud/etc nodes via xCAT commands would be a big step.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Russel,
Can you be more specific on the meaning of "deployment into any cloud provider's infrastructure" ?

Thanks,

Hi all,

Didn't get a response on my last post for this, so thought I would reach
out again. We have a customer that is interested in utilizing xCAT to
deploy and run jobs in a cloud provider of some sort. Does xCAT support
deployment into any cloud provider's infrastructure?

Thanks!
