Configure and create the cluster

The following is an example cluster configuration that includes an Amazon Elastic Block Store shared file system with encryption.


Region: eu-west-1

  Os: alinux2
HeadNode:
  InstanceType: t2.micro
  Networking:
    SubnetId: subnet-abcdef01234567890
  Ssh:
    KeyName: my-ssh-key
  Iam:
    AdditionalIamPolicies:
      - Policy: arn:aws:iam::123456789012:policy/ParallelClusterKmsPolicy
Scheduling:
  Scheduler: slurm
  SlurmQueues:
    - Name: q1
      ComputeResources:
        - Name: t2micro
          InstanceType: t2.micro
          MinCount: 0
          MaxCount: 10
      Networking:
        SubnetIds:

SharedStorage:
  - MountDir: /shared/ebs1
    Name: shared-ebs1
    StorageType: Ebs
    EbsSettings:
      Encrypted: True
      KmsKeyId: abcd1234-ef56-gh78-ij90-abcd1234efgh5678

Replace the items in red text with your own values. Then, create a cluster that uses your Amazon KMS key to encrypt your data in Amazon EBS.

The configuration is similar for Amazon EFS and FSx for Lustre file systems.

The Amazon EFS SharedStorage configuration is as follows.

...
SharedStorage:
  - MountDir: /shared/efs1
    Name: shared-efs1
    StorageType: Efs
    EfsSettings:
      Encrypted: True
      KmsKeyId: abcd1234-ef56-gh78-ij90-abcd1234efgh5678

The FSx for Lustre SharedStorage configuration is as follows.

...
SharedStorage:
  - MountDir: /shared/fsx1
    Name: shared-fsx1
    StorageType: FsxLustre
    FsxLustreSettings:
      StorageCapacity: 1200
      DeploymentType: PERSISTENT_1
      PerUnitStorageThroughput: 200
      KmsKeyId: abcd1234-ef56-gh78-ij90-abcd1234efgh5678
