    Sarus is An OCI-compatible container engine for HPC: https://sarus.readthedocs.io/en/stable/. At this point of view, it is very similar to use case of Podman.
  • Scaling Kubernetes to 7,500 Nodes

    The problem with slurm is how it's typically used: ssh into a shared login node with a shared file system, auth is handled by the linux users mostly, submit jobs with sbatch. Kubernetes deployment feels much more modern and safe.

    I have worked with containers + slurm, where the vendor libmpi is injected in the container runtime [1] by a hook, which gives you close to bare metal performance with some container goodness in terms of isolation and deployment.
