Configure and Manage Cloud Bursting
Burst HPC cluster nodes in the cloud when the demand for computing capacity spikes.
- Cloud Bursting Overview
  A description of cloud bursting, a typical bursting setup and an overview of steps for setting up cloud bursting.
- Cloud Bursting Terminology
  Definitions for terminology that is used to describe cloud bursting.
- Prerequisites for Cloud Bursting
  A cloud provider account, licenses, an on-premise PBS Complex and a secure network connection must be in place before cloud bursting can be enabled.
- Cloud Bursting Startup Script
  Create a script that is ran when the cloud node is burst.
- Windows Bursting on AWS and Azure
  Requirements for bursting Windows cloud nodes.
- Configure Amazon Web Service Cloud Bursting
  Create the necessary components in AWS that are required for cloud bursting and then create a Control cloud bursting scenario.
- Configuring Microsoft Azure Cloud Bursting
  Create the necessary components in Microsoft Azure that are required for cloud bursting and then create a Control cloud bursting scenario.
- Configure Google Cloud Platform Cloud Bursting
  Create the necessary components in GCP that are required for cloud bursting and then create a Control cloud bursting scenario.
- Configure Oracle Cloud Platform Cloud Bursting
  Create the necessary components in Oracle Cloud that are required for cloud bursting and then create a Control cloud bursting scenario.
- Configure Orange Cloud Flexible Engine for Cloud Bursting
  Create the necessary components in Orange Cloud Flexible Engine that are required for cloud bursting and then create a cloud bursting scenario.
- Configure HUAWEI Cloud for Cloud Bursting
  Create the necessary components in HUAWEI Cloud that are required for cloud bursting and then create a cloud bursting scenario.
- Configure Open Telekom Cloud for Cloud Bursting
  Create the necessary components in Open Telekom Cloud (OTC) that are required for cloud bursting and then create a cloud bursting scenario.

- Manage Cloud Bursting
  Enable and disable cloud bursting and edit cloud bursting scenarios to reconfigure cloud bursting such as adding instance types, updating the cloud node boot script, and managing SSH keys.
- Manage Manually Burst Cloud Nodes
  Burst, unburst and view information about cloud nodes that have been created manually.
- AWS Spot Pricing
  Use AWS Spot Instances to request spare computing capacity for up to 90% off the On-Demand price. Spot pricing is available for Azure and AWS. GCP has preemptible which is the same process except there is no bid price.
- Monitor and Administer Cloud
  View and monitor Cloud logs, Docker containers and workflows.
Node Management
The Node Management page enables you to monitor, filter, add and configure nodes quickly through an easy to use interface.
Real-time Dashboard
The real-time dashboard in Control (currently in preview release stage), provides live data in a single page to view several aspects about the overall operation of a cluster.
Log out of Control
Logout once your work is complete.
