HPC cluster management (Slurm and other schedulers) Direct match
AWS ParallelCluster maps to Cluster Toolkit, Google's open-source tool that deploys HPC and AI clusters (including Slurm) from blueprints.
- Like ParallelCluster, Cluster Toolkit deploys infrastructure you operate. Google has no fully managed Slurm service like AWS PCS.
- Blueprints can also deploy GKE-based AI clusters and parallel file systems.
