<div dir="ltr"><div>Fellow Starcluster and other HPC tech users,</div><div><br></div>I am hoping Amazon will allow EFS within the new regions very soon. EFS will be critical for cost savings with some of the customers I support. Indeed we are using Starcluster with some changes of our own to support multiple EBS volumes. <div><br></div><div>I also voice my concern for the Starcluster project as a whole given its decentralized feature and bug improvement. It would be great if MIT took the reigns again to bring the latest and greatest user improvements into one coalesced v1.0. <div><br></div><div>Just adding my voice to the choir as they say.</div><div><br></div><div>Eduardo</div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Sep 23, 2015 at 4:28 PM, Robert Yu <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:robert.yu@aditazz.com" target="_blank">robert.yu@aditazz.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi John,<div>I would like to learn from your experience with EFS + starcluster.

<p>I've been playing around with EFS for 2 weeks now and can say the IO performance is excellent, much better than a single SSD EBS volume. Luckily we run most of our hpc infrastructure in us-west-2 (Oregon) where EFS is available and so have begun trying to
get <a href="https://github.com/awslabs/cfncluster" target="_blank">cfn-cluster</a> and <a href="https://github.com/gc3-uzh-ch/elasticluster" target="_blank">elasticluster</a> to use it through pre/post-install scripts. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I'll report back anything of interest. <br>

<div>I'm very interested in this myself and will pursue it further. Right now it's only available in Oregon but everything I have is in us-east. <br>

<div>Hi Robert,<br>
<br>
</div>
I´m waiting for that too. The only concern now is that StarCluster is frozen on version 0.95.6 for a while and all enhancements are being done by users itself.<br>
</div>
So, let´s ask for some tech dude to adjust the NFS share for EFS!<br>
<br>
</div>
All best,<br>
