This repository allows for definition and management of VGNC resources in the bwCloud for usegalaxy.eu

This file defines resources that should be running on our cluster and scales our infrastructure accordingly. The format is described fairly well within the yaml file, but an example is below for reference:

training_event:
    count: 4
    flavor: c.c10m55
    tag: training-fallhts2017
    start: 2017-10-01
    end:  2017-10-02

the label training_event is arbitrary but must be unique in the file. We specify that we want count=4 VMs of the flavor c.c10m55 running. If we have fewer than this number, this project will launch enough to ensure we're at capacity.

The tag must be specified and is used in constructing the name of the image. For a tag of upload, images will be named vgcnbwc-upload-{number}

We additionally allow supplying a start and end parameter for the VMs. Before this time the VMs will not be launched. After this time, the VMs will all be (gracefully) killed on sight. This permits being rather lazy about adding and removing defintions and we can be sure that resources are not needlessly wasted.

If you want multiple flavors in a group, just create N different groups with different tags. E.g.

compute_nodes_small:
    count: 10
    flavor: c.c10m55
    tag: compute-small

compute_nodes_large:
    count: 10
    flavor: c.c24m120
    tag: compute-large
