• AWS::CloudFormation::CustomResource - AWS CloudFormation

• • For custom resources, you can specify AWS::CloudFormation::CustomResource as the resource type, or  you can specify your own resource type name. For example, instead of using  AWS::CloudFormation::CustomResource, you can use Custom::MyCustomResourceTypeName.

• Cluster configuration file - AWS ParallelCluster

  • AWS ParallelCluster version 3 uses separate configuration files to control the definition  of cluster infrastructure and the definition of custom AMIs. All configuration files use YAML 1.1  files. Detailed information for each of these configuration files is linked below. For some  example configurations, see https://github.com/aws/aws-parallelcluster/tree/release-3.0/cli/tests/pcluster/example_configs.

• Provisioning Custom Resources in AWS using Terraform | by Sandip Dey | AWS Tip

  • Provisioning Custom Resources in AWS using Terraform
  • Typically a custom resource will be backed by a function/process/application that will perform the steps/activities associated with the provisioning logic of the custom resource. For example, AWS CloudFormation can create a custom resource that is backed by a lambda function and when the lambda function is invoked it can perform some custom logic

  • Learn how to create a cluster with an AWS ParallelCluster CloudFormation custom resource. For more information, see   AWS CloudFormation custom resource.

• Automate your clusters by creating self-documenting HPC with AWS ParallelCluster | AWS HPC Blog

  • However, ParallelCluster isn’t a managed AWS service, and so it doesn’t have an official CloudFormation resource type. What we do instead is create the cluster from a CloudFormation custom resource. The custom resource, in turn, relies on a “provider” stack that we deploy using a template published by the AWS ParallelCluster team.
  • The provider stack combines the ParallelCluster Python library and additional management logic to implement asynchronous create, update, delete, and list operations for our AWS ParallelCluster custom resource
  • The cluster resource depends on the provider resource. The relationship between them is defined by the ServiceToken property of PclusterCluster, which is set to an output from the PclusterClusterProvider

  • Prerequisites

     

    The prerequisites are needed later on during the configuration of the first cluster. Please make sure you have prepared all steps below.

     
     
    • An SSH Key Pair created in the AWS Console
     
    • A VPC including Subnets and NAT Gateways where everything should run (this is required for the HPC-Base we are managing our HPC)

• Custom resources - AWS CloudFormation

  • How custom resources work
  • The template developer and custom resource provider can be the same person or entity, but the process is  the same

• AWS Identity and Access Management permissions in AWS ParallelCluster - AWS ParallelCluster

  • When you run the following example script, with the given inputs stored in your environment, you create a cluster.  The cluster configuration is created as a Python data type based on the cluster configuration documentation
