Create compute node group for running compute jobs in AWS PCS

In this step, you will launch a compute node group that scales elastically to run jobs submitted to the cluster.

To create the compute node group

  • Open the AWS PCS console and navigate to Clusters.

  • Select the cluster named get-started

  • Navigate to Compute node groups and choose Create.

  • In the Compute node group setup section, provide the following:

    • Compute node group name – Enter compute-1.

  • Under Computing configuration, enter or select these values:

    • EC2 launch template – Choose the launch template where the name is compute-getstarted-lt

    • IAM instance profile – Choose the instance profile named AWSPCS-getstarted-role

    • Subnets – Select the subnet where the name starts with hpc-networking:PrivateSubnetA.

    • Instances – Select c6i.xlarge.

    • Scaling configuration – For Min. instance count, enter 0. For Max. instance count, enter 4.

  • Under Additional settings, specify the following:

    • AMI ID – Select the AMI where the name starts with aws-pcs-sample_ami-amzn2-x86_64-slurm-23.11.

  • Choose Create compute node group.

The Status field shows Creating while the compute node group is being provisioned.
