Compute focused

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.
