Out-of-the-Box Stacks and Deployment Systems
摘要
As we have seen, it is not easy to install the software of an entire cluster. And it still needs to be updated, new software installed, etc. Linux "cluster distributions" were created to simplify this task. Unfortunately, they only solve the problem of cluster deployment to a limited extent. It is not always possible to install additional software, commercial, or even open source tools in them. I don’t recommend using them if your cluster will not work with a limited set of tasks, but with a growing set of tasks or if users will compile their own or open source packages. But if the set of tasks is small, and they can successfully work with the stacks under consideration, using them can save you a lot of time and effort. Let’s take a look at some of them.
