Having used Snaps on Ubuntu - which seems to be their preferred method of
distributing some applications,
I have a slightly different take on the containerisation angle and would
de-emphaise that.
My take is that snaps/flatpak attack the "my distro ships with gcc version
4.1 but I need gcc version

I don't think this goes as far as containers with isolation, as I think
that's not what they're trying to do.
Guess at some point I will need to fire up a test cluster and try things out.
But usually from my experiences with the three major cloud providers you have
access obviously with limited means to make modifications so I am curious to
know how easy it would be to tweak settings. I have a bit of ex

You would hope so! Although I've got to say with my limited experience
of Lustre when you're running it you pret

It would be interesting to have a distro built around such a setup.

Amazon's done similar:

A lot of production HPC runs on cloud systems.
AWS is big for this via their AWS Parallelcluster stack which does
include lustre support via vfXT for lustre service although they are
careful to caveat it as staging/scratch space not suitable for
persistant storage. AWS has some cool node typ
I shoul add that a "flatpack" is any software you install and use which
does not affect your os or env. Think turbotax. You insert the disk, do the
math, print the form, eject.
Audacity, for example, is a software I use.

Hi Guys,
I am looking at
https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/storage-data-transfer/introducing-lustre-file-system-cloud-deployment-manager-scripts
This basically allows you to deploy a lustre cluster on google cloud. In your
HPC setups have you considered moving towards cloud based clusters?
It is funny, I looked at their credits Codethink seems quite serious,
Barron's thinks highly of Fastly, but Mythic Beast is a dynamic DNS and
Scaleway is a public/private cloud that give a 500 pound starting credit.
So, if you act now all these great titles can be yours.

Are you thinking of this as an alternative to container systems & tools
like easybuild as a software delivery system for HPC systems?
