BlueBanquise is an Ansible based stack, designed to deploy and manage large group of hosts.
Main target is High Performance Computing, but stack is generic and can adapt to any kind of cluster architecture (University or Enterprise network, render farm, etc).
Currently supported OS are:
- RedHat/Centos 7.6 (Full)
- RedHat 8.0 (Partial, in dev)
- Ubuntu 18.04 (Partial, in dev)
- OpenSuse Leap 15.1 (Partial, in dev)
Debian 9 and 10 are dropped for now because too much issues with the netboot part.
Ansible >= 2.8.2 is mandatory for BlueBanquise to run properly.
OpenHPC scientific packages and OpenHPC slurm job scheduler are compatible with the stack.
BlueBanquise is part of the Algoric Project from the Fabrique du Loch FabLab.
BlueBanquise is a revamping of the old stack Banquise, based on Salt.
Special thanks to CINES who provided Algoric team with hardware.
