Configuration
By default, AWS ParallelCluster uses the ~/.parallelcluster/config file for all configuration
parameters. You can specify a custom configuration file by using the -c or --config command
line option or the AWS_PCLUSTER_CONFIG_FILE environment variable.
An example configuration file is installed with AWS ParallelCluster in the Python directory at
site-packages/aws-parallelcluster/examples/config. The example configuration file is also available on
GitHub, at https://github.com/aws/aws-parallelcluster/blob/v2.11.9/cli/src/pcluster/examples/config
Current AWS ParallelCluster 2 version: 2.11.9.
Topics
Layout
An AWS ParallelCluster configuration is defined in multiple sections.
The following sections are required: [global] section and [aws] section.
You also must include at least one [cluster] section and one [vpc] section.
A section starts with the section name in brackets, followed by parameters and configuration.
[global] cluster_template = default update_check = true sanity_check = true
