Why AWS PCS?

AWS Parallel Computing Service (AWS PCS) is a managed service that makes
it easier for you to run and scale your high performance computing
(HPC) workloads and build scientific and engineering models on AWS using
Slurm. You can use AWS PCS to build complete, elastic environments that
integrate compute, storage, networking, and visualization tools. AWS
PCS simplifies cluster operations with managed updates and built-in
observability features, helping to remove the burden of maintenance. You
can work in a familiar environment, focusing on your research and
innovation instead of worrying about infrastructure.
