Compute focused

compute-focus-technical-considerations.rst compute-focus-operational-considerations.rst compute-focus-architecture.rst compute-focus-prescriptive-examples.rst

Compute-focused clouds are a specialized subset of the general purpose OpenStack cloud architecture. A compute-focused cloud specifically supports compute intensive workloads.

Note

Compute intensive workloads may be CPU intensive, RAM intensive, or both; they are not typically storage or network intensive.

Compute-focused workloads may include the following use cases:

  • High performance computing (HPC)
  • Big data analytics using Hadoop or other distributed data stores
  • Continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD)
  • Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
  • Signal processing for network function virtualization (NFV)

Note

A compute-focused OpenStack cloud does not typically use raw block storage services as it does not host applications that require persistent block storage.
