  2. Lab 1: Create an HPC Cluster: You will be lead to create your first HPC system in the Cloud and run a tightly coupled application, WRF.
  3. Lab 2: Build a High-Performance File System: You will create a cluster with a high performance file system, lustre, connected to an object storage tiering.
  4. Lab 3: Hybrid HPC: You will create two HPC cluster federated through Slurm and file caching system to move data between the clusters.
  5. Lab 4: Simulation on AWS Batch: You will learn how to use container orchestrators like AWS Batch and deploy an architecture for automated job submission in AWS Batch using serverless functions..
