Thanks for this! I went looking for something similar a while back and found nothing much. I'm guessing that the alternative to this tidy modern repository is a gigantic broken pile of ansible/chef/puppet that hasn't been touched in 10 years.
Even surprisingly popular distributed-systems stuff is always really bad about "follow this 10 step copy/paste to deploy to EKS" but that's also obnoxious. In the first place, people want to see something basically working on small scale first to check if it's abandonware. But even after that.. local prototyping without first setting up multiple repositories, then shipping multiple modified container images, and already having CI/CD for all of the above is really nice to have.
Interesting, I've been dealing with replacing a few on-prem HPC clusters lately. One of the things we've been looking at is OpenOnDemand. How does this compare to that? Is this primarily targeted at cluster development or can I really just make an arbitrarily large production HPC cluster with it?
Don’t you still need the HPC cluster with OpenOnDemand? I thought it was a web interface to use HPC resources.
But this still runs on a single computer, so you wouldn’t use this to deploy a production cluster. This would be for testing in a virtual multi-node-ish setup.

I wish I had this for my master's thesis! it was a puny 64 core node, but nevertheless...

ondemand is "just" a web frontend for using a traditional HPC cluster, which of course means its architecture is deeply cursed: https://osc.github.io/ood-documentation/latest/architecture....
Yeah, OOD is a giant RoR webapp; you need to be running it on a node that can submit to your cluster.
