Brief Description of Requirement
The current Phase 5 development of the JASMIN infrastructure currently underway will see significant expansion to the cloud service. JASMIN provides a community cloud for users, groups and institutions within the NERC community and for external collaborators from industry and the international research community. Through the Phase 5 work, a requirement has arisen to support the development of a Cluster-as-a-Service (CaaS) concept. The goal of CaaS is to enhance the JASMIN's cloud capabilities over and above the existing baseline IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) to provide cluster computing resources. This requires the development of pre-configured software infrastructure and tools to enable users and software developers to provision batch computing systems and create Virtual Research Environments (VREs). There are two specific required outputs: 1) a system to enable cloud users to deploy a Slurm cluster in a cloud tenancy 2) a system to enable cloud users to deploy a Kubernetes cluster into a cloud tenancy
