Open Stack

At Penn State we are working on deploying a multi-phased effort.  Our first phase, deploys a partial Openstack and "Traditional" HPC split system, which gives us time to deploy and tune the Openstack configuration and then expand to a full Openstack governed infrastructure once Ironic is released supported in April.  The traditional HPC piece allows users that require access to new cores now, continue to work as we finalize the deployment of our research cloud.  

The two follow-on hardware/software deployments, expands the infrastructure to support bare-metal as well as virtualized workloads, and eventually rolls the remaining "Traditional HPC" systems under the same Openstack umbrella giving more control to our researchers and a choice of consumption models to meet the broad needs of our community.

The highlighted items above will remain but hopefully we are work with others in the community to address them (as we are with nested projects)

Take a look at Mesos (mesos.apache.org, mesosphere.com). I did some thinking on openstack+hpc topic but didn't like the conclusions I arrived at so I went shopping for alternatives. Mesos+docker looks like the best one so far.
