Azure HPC On-Demand Platform, your deployment to be HPC-Ready!

Azure HPC On-Demand Platform (az-hop), provides the end-to-end deployment mechanism for a base HPC infrastructure on Azure. az-hop delivers a complete HPC cluster solution ready for users to run applications, which is easy to deploy and manage for HPC administrators. az-hop leverages the various Azure building blocks and can be used as-is, or easily customized and extended to meet any uncovered requirements. Industry standard tools like Terraform, Ansible and Packer are used to provision and configure this environment containing :

• An HPC OnDemand Portal for all user access, remote shell access, remote visualization access, job submission, file access and more,
• An Active Directory for user authentication and domain control,
• Open PBS or SLURM as a Job Scheduler,
• Dynamic resources provisioning and autoscaling is done by Azure CycleCloud pre-configured job queues and integrated health-checks to quickly avoid non-optimal nodes,
• A Jumpbox to provide admin access,
• A common shared file system for home directory and applications is delivered by Azure Netapp Files,
• A Lustre parallel filesystem using local NVME for high performance that automatically archives to Azure Blob Storage using the Robinhood Policy Engine and Azure Storage data mover,
• Grafana dashboards to monitor your cluster,
• Remote Visualization with noVNC and GPU acceleration with VirtualGL.
