Once we can successfully deploy an OpenHPC image with some options and an HPC test reporting red/green status, we need to refine the options and improve the availability of the workloads.
Step #4: Refining the deployment process
...
However, unlike steps 1 ~ 3, these can and should happen in parallel.
Refining the deployment process
We'll surely make concessions on step #1, likely pick one and continue the process. But after having OpenHPC workloads validated, we need to understand what we left out because we don't need and what was meant to be done after.
Hopefully, step #1 would have left a document, or Jira tasks, so that we could continue on track without needing to re-evaluate anything at this step, just implement what's missing.
A few topics in this track would be:
- Check the other two deployment strategies (out of QEMU, container, bare-metal), and try it out in order of member priorities.
- Simplifying the process by having ready-images, snapshots, micro-instances.
- Making available those images for cloud access / public?
- Maybe use different types of containers?
