In this screencast, we will preview the upcoming Once Learned feature that brings HPC Cluster Management into the platform. Let's define the problem. Every time a researcher needs an HPC cluster, they have to deal with multiple layers and involve multiple teams. There are no common tools or workflows, and overall lack of visibility. OpenEmily is solving the challenge by introducing the Once Learned component. From provisioning the HPC clusters to monitoring and operations. Once Learned is a new section inside SunStorm that brings HPC Cluster Management into the platform. Slurm clusters, provisioned and monitored from the same place you manage your virtual machines. When you select a cluster, you get a live snapshot. Status, active partitions, GPU load, queued jobs, all at a glance. The Node tab shows each compute node's load in real time. Click any node for the full picture, GPU specs, partition, operating system, and optime. The Job tab gives you a full queue, running, queued, completed, with user, partition, duration, and a node count at a glance. Storage is modeled as part of the cluster. Home directories, scratch, and shared data, each with its mount path, server, and capacity. No guessing what's mounted where. Need more capacity? Hit scale, set the new node count, and confirm. Once Learned handles the rest. Provisioning a new cluster starts with a three-step wizard. Step one, cluster identity, Slurm version, and control plane. Step two, the node configuration. Pick your GPU instance type, define your partitions, set cores and memory per node, the building blocks of your HPC queue. Step three, storage. Mount paths and server targets for every file system the cluster needs. Set it once, once Learned takes care of the rest. And then just click the create button. One wizard, three steps, a fully configured Slurm cluster, managed inside OpenAbylla. And this concludes this feature preview demonstration. Thank you for watching and see you in the next screencast.

TL;DR

  • OneSlurm brings Slurm HPC cluster management into OpenNebula Sunstone, eliminating the need for separate tools and fragmented team workflows when provisioning research infrastructure.
  • The unified dashboard surfaces GPU load, active partitions, job queues, node-level metrics, and storage capacity in a single interface alongside existing VM management.
  • A three-step provisioning wizard covers cluster identity, GPU instance and partition configuration, and storage mounts — reducing cluster creation to a guided, repeatable process.

Summary

This short screencast previews OneSlurm, an upcoming OpenNebula feature that integrates Slurm-based HPC cluster management directly into the Sunstone management interface. The demo addresses a common pain point for research and data-intensive teams: provisioning HPC clusters today requires coordinating multiple teams, navigating disparate tools, and tolerating poor visibility across infrastructure. OneSlurm consolidates the entire HPC lifecycle — provisioning, monitoring, job queue management, storage configuration, and scaling — into a single unified interface alongside existing virtual machine management. The walkthrough demonstrates a live cluster dashboard showing active partitions, GPU load, and queued jobs at a glance, per-node compute metrics including GPU specs and operating system details, and a full job queue view spanning running, queued, and completed workloads. Storage is modeled as a first-class cluster resource, with mount paths, server targets, and capacity visible without guesswork. Scaling capacity is reduced to setting a new node count and confirming. New cluster provisioning follows a three-step wizard covering cluster identity and Slurm version, GPU instance type and partition configuration, and storage mount definitions. The result is a fully configured Slurm cluster managed entirely within OpenNebula, positioning the platform as a unified AI Factory for HPC, ML, and data-intensive workloads.

FAQ

What problem does OneSlurm solve for HPC teams?

Today, provisioning an HPC cluster requires coordinating multiple teams, using disconnected tools, and working with limited visibility across the infrastructure. OneSlurm consolidates provisioning, monitoring, job management, storage, and scaling into a single interface within OpenNebula Sunstone.

What does the OneSlurm provisioning wizard cover?

The three-step wizard covers cluster identity and Slurm version selection, GPU instance type and partition configuration (including cores and memory per node), and storage mount paths and server targets for all required file systems.
