Ocean is an administration software stack to provide tools and documentation for heterogeneous cluster management.
It is composed in two sub projects Ocean-core and Ocean-stack.
Ocean-core is a RPM-based distribution built upon a standard Linux distribution and provides packaged tools and software updates needed to manage HPC clusters.
Ocean-stack (aka Deepblue) describes how to architecture core services required on HPC clusters, how to integrate third-party services and gives operating procedures to manage a HPC Cluster at scale.
- Provided packages for Ocean 3.4 are based on a snapshot of https://vault.centos.org/8.4.2105 which is an outdated version of CentOS 8. We strongly recommand you to use RHEL EUS8.4 repositories.
- Documentation is still work in progress, you may see some inacurate translation and TODO parts to complete.
Role in EUPEX: Ocean will be the base operating system on the EUPEX pilot. It will provide all necessary dependencies for other software components in EUPEX.
