Project Slinky: Bringing Slurm Scheduling to Kubernetes
As high-performance computing (HPC) environments evolve, there’s an increasing demand to bridge the gap between traditional HPC job schedulers and modern cloud-native infrastructure. Project Slinky is an open-source project that integrates Slurm, the industry-standard workload manager for HPC, with Kubernetes, the de facto orchestration platform for containers.
This enables organizations to deploy and operate Slurm-based workloads on Kubernetes clusters allowing them to leverage the best of both worlds: Slurm’s mature, job-centric HPC scheduling model and Kubernetes’s scalable, cloud-native runtime environment.
