I’m not sure how Ansible made it on your list. Ansible lets you apply configuration and ensure applications are installed on groups of machines. It works across a variety of Linux distros.

I guess maybe then it does not really apply. The idea is to have one CPU of one of the servers dedicated to user login and then a queue manager such as slurm managing the jobs across all servers. I will probably need a per server configuration since hardware differs across them, but all of them need to be able to run the same software.

Ansible certainly works here, most implementations I’ve seen are terraform with ansible or cloudinit. Most of my stack is containers, so I personally prefer cloudinit and a handoff to ansible.

ansible strenght is in configuring fleets of linux machines, lending it to being one of the best tools for clusters like this.
