CycleCloud project to enable use of the Microsoft HPC Pack job scheduler in Azure CycleCloud HPC clusters.

HPC Pack 2016 Update 1 for CycleCloud

---

Features

This cluster launches a bastion host (for secure connection to the vnet), an AD domain controller and an HPC Pack head node. As jobs are submitted to the head node, compute nodes with autoscale as needed.

Prerequisites & Setup

CycleCloud can now simultaneously orchestrate environments described in ARM templates. This feature requires version 7.x release of CycleCloud.

This project relies on the HPC Pack github in particular the DSC resources. Project setup to download dependencies are scripted.

A certificate for internal cluster communication is also included and the certificate file password is the template default. The certificate was created with the additional included script if you wish to create your own.

Once the project script has been executed you're ready to upload the project to the configuration locker, import the cluster, and make cluster edits in the UI.
