The Hybrid challenge: migrating HPC workloads to Cloud environments
By Benjamin Depardon, CTO et Vincent Bosquier, HPC & Visualization Architect, UCit
HPC is hybrid by nature: migrating HPC workloads to the cloud is never an all or nothing endeavour.
Attention points for such a migration remain relatively constant and predictable. While the cloud provider handles hardware provisioning, UCit relies on CCME (Cloud Cluster Made Easy) for infrastructure-as-Code management on AWS. The key project factors lie in client constraints: security, IT urbanization rules, confidentiality, identity management, workload nature, workflows & use cases, and data volumes.
Ultimately, regardless of client size or constraints, success in such a project is always achievable.
We’ll demonstrate it through UCit's experience with a Fairbrics case, along with a major industry player’s.
