About the webinar

There is a growing trend of deploying high-performance computing workloads in the cloud, driven in part by significant investments from cloud providers, especially in support of AI and machine learning workloads. However, the tools and software stacks used in traditional on-premise HPC environments often differ from those available in the cloud. This disparity creates unnecessary complexity for users attempting to transition between the two ecosystems, limiting the portability and scalability of HPC applications.

One way to reduce the complexity of transitioning to the cloud is by migrating HPC workflows in a structured and well-defined manner. By clearly defining each step and the specific requirements of the original HPC workload, it becomes easier to take advantage of the scalability, flexibility, and services typically available in cloud environments.

In the HPC Workloads in the Cloud webinar, we will explore the cloud ecosystem through the lens of an HPC specialist, examining its advantages and limitations. We will also introduce key concepts and tools that can support the creation and management of cloud-based workflows, including, but not limited to, Apache Airflow.

Who is the webinar for?

This webinar is intended for HPC developers, researchers and similar audience who wants to start introducing their workflows into the cloud, or to understand the feasibility of doing so.

Key takeaways

After attending this seminar, you will be able to:

  • Understand the high-level functioning of containers and orchestrators (e.g., Docker and Kubernetes), along with their basic concepts and controls;
  • Become familiar with workflow-related concepts, their advantages, and one of the popular deployment tools (e.g., Apache Airflow);
  • Describe simple workflows in Apache Airflow and make informed decisions regarding workflow deployment.
