Sep 1, 2025

September 2025: Focused on stabilizing and extending SLURM-based cluster deployment on GCP. Key efforts included upgrading Slurm across ML cluster configurations and the SLURM-GCP integration to 6.10.6, removing the unused build_slurm_from_git_ref config, and standardizing variable naming to ensure consistent deployments across ML clusters. Added provisioning options for Spot VMs and DWS Flex provisioning models, with accompanying READMEs and YAML updates to document and enable the new options. Implemented a G4 cluster deployment blueprint via SLURM with a dedicated YAML configuration. These changes reduce operational toil, improve deployment consistency, and expand cost-optimized options for ML workloads.
