Announcing CloudFormation support for AWS Parallel Computing Service

Today, we are announcing AWS CloudFormation support for AWS Parallel Computing Service (AWS PCS). Using AWS CloudFormation, you can easily create and manage PCS clusters and automate your cluster administration tasks.

AWS PCS is a managed service that makes it easier for you to run and scale your high performance computing (HPC) workloads and build scientific and engineering models on AWS using Slurm. You can use AWS PCS to build complete, elastic environments that integrate compute, storage, networking, and visualization tools. AWS PCS simplifies cluster operations with managed updates and built-in observability features, helping to remove the burden of maintenance. You can work in a familiar environment, focusing on your research and innovation instead of worrying about infrastructure.

To get started with using AWS CloudFormation with AWS PCS, please refer to the documentation. To learn more about AWS PCS, please refer service documentation. For more information on pricing and region availability, refer to the PCS pricing and AWS Region Table.
