Russel,
I can bring the topic to the team to discuss.
Currently xCAT has a OpenStack baremetal driver that allows you to deploy
baremetal nodes in a OpenStack cloud. You can:
1. register xCAT nodes into OpenStack
2. register xCAT images into OpenStack
3. deploy baremetal node using OpenStack command (nova boot), and it in
turn calls xCAT to deploy the node.

In addition to this, xCAT also has the support to setup OpenStack cloud.

Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Ling

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" ?

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!
