This quickstart guide will help you get the slurm-operator running and deploy Slurm clusters to Kubernetes.
Install the pre-requisite helm charts.
helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo add metrics-server https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/metrics-server/
helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
helm repo add jetstack https://charts.jetstack.io
helm repo update
helm install cert-manager jetstack/cert-manager \
--namespace cert-manager --create-namespace --set crds.enabled=true
helm install prometheus prometheus-community/kube-prometheus-stack \
--namespace prometheus --create-namespace --set installCRDs=true
Download values and install the slurm-operator from OCI package.
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SlinkyProject/slurm-operator/refs/tags/v0.1.0/helm/slurm-operator/values.yaml \
-o values-operator.yaml
helm install slurm-operator oci://ghcr.io/slinkyproject/charts/slurm-operator \
--values=values-operator.yaml --version=0.1.0 --namespace=slinky --create-namespace
Make sure the cluster deployed successfully with:
kubectl --namespace=slinky get pods
Output should be similar to:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
slurm-operator-7444c844d5-dpr5h 1/1 Running 0 5m00s
slurm-operator-webhook-6fd8d7857d-zcvqh 1/1 Running 0 5m00s
Download values and install a Slurm cluster from OCI package.
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SlinkyProject/slurm-operator/refs/tags/v0.1.0/helm/slurm/values.yaml \
-o values-slurm.yaml
helm install slurm oci://ghcr.io/slinkyproject/charts/slurm \
--values=values-slurm.yaml --version=0.1.0 --namespace=slurm --create-namespace
Make sure the slurm cluster deployed successfully with:
kubectl --namespace=slurm get pods
Output should be similar to:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
slurm-accounting-0 1/1 Running 0 5m00s
slurm-compute-debug-l4bd2 1/1 Running 0 5m00s
slurm-controller-0 2/2 Running 0 5m00s
slurm-exporter-7b44b6d856-d86q5 1/1 Running 0 5m00s
slurm-mariadb-0 1/1 Running 0 5m00s
slurm-restapi-5f75db85d9-67gpl 1/1 Running 0 5m00s
To test Slurm functionality, connect to the controller to use Slurm client commands:
kubectl --namespace=slurm exec -it statefulsets/slurm-controller -- bash --login
On the controller pod (e.g. host slurm@slurm-controller-0
), run the following
commands to quickly test Slurm is functioning:
sinfo
srun hostname
sbatch --wrap="sleep 60"
squeue
See Slurm Commands for more details on how to interact with Slurm.
