- Create a Project
Create a GCP Project so that you can create the necessary cloud components for cloud scaling.
- Create a Service Account
Create a Google Cloud Platform service account so that you can later create a cloud credential in NavOps.
- Add a GCP Cloud Credential
Add an existing GCP service account to NavOps so that you can create a cloud environment.
- Create a Virtual Private Cloud Network
Create a Virtual Private Network (VPC) in GCP so that you can later create a virtual machine for cloud environment.
- Create a Virtual Machine
Create a virtual Machine in GCP.
- Install Accelerator on the VM
Install the Accelerator on the virtual machine and configure the VM per your site's environment.
- Install PBS MoM on the VM
Install the PBS Professional MoM on the virtual machine and configure the VM per your site's environment.
- Install Grid Engine Execd on the VM
Install the Grid Engine Execd on the virtual machine and configure the VM per your site's environment.
- Install Slurm on the VM
- Create an OS Image
Create an image of the virtual machine configured per your site's requirements. You can choose to keep the image and use it to update your bursting image with patches, new applications etc. You can bring the instance online, patch and then recreate the image at your discretion. The saving in build and management time for the images will offset the additional storage costs.
- Create a GCP Cloud Environment
Create a GCP cloud environment in NavOps so that workload manager execution nodes can be deployed in the cloud. Provide information about the cloud environment such as region, OS image, network name, subnet name and tags.
- Create a GCP Node Class
Create an GCP Node Class so that Accelerator execution nodes can be deployed in the cloud. A Node Class provides the infrastructure for the workload to run on. It is an instance type which defines benchmarked hardware. A Node Class exists in an Environment and consists of instance type, OS image, security group id, tags, SSH-keys and cloud-init script.
