SUSE Linux Enterprise High Performance Computing Gen2 VM
بواسطة Derek Coleman & Associates Corporation
SUSE Linux Enterprise HPC 15 SP7 Gen2 on Azure — high-performance computing node in minutes.
SUSE Linux Enterprise High Performance Computing Gen2 VM
A hardened SUSE Linux Enterprise High Performance Computing (SLE HPC) 15 SP7 Gen2 VM image for Azure, built for the Azure Marketplace — the SUSE platform tuned for parallel and compute-intensive workloads.
Who this is for: Research, engineering, and scientific computing teams running HPC and parallel workloads on Azure who want a hardened SLE HPC base image.
Target industries: Research institutions, life sciences, engineering simulation, weather and climate modeling, and any compute-intensive scientific workload.
Value proposition: Running HPC on SUSE means the HPC-tuned SLE variant, kept hardened and patch-current. This image gives you that base:
- SLE HPC 15 SP7 — the SUSE HPC platform with the HPC module and tuning for parallel, message-passing, and compute-bound workloads, as a Trusted Launch-capable Gen2 image
- Monthly patched & hardened — rebuilt each month from the upstream base with the latest OS security updates; hardened to Microsoft's Azure Marketplace certification standards before any version is published
- Ready to run — the service is installed, enabled, and configured to start on boot, so the VM is productive minutes after deployment instead of after a manual install
- Audit trail per release — build and certification evidence retained for every published image version, available for compliance audits and change-management documentation
Plans available:
- SLE HPC 15 SP7 — Gen2 — SUSE's high-performance-computing platform
Licensing: Bring Your Own Subscription (BYOS) — a valid SLE HPC subscription is required to register and receive updates. The image is provided free of charge; standard Azure compute and storage rates apply.
Supported software and integrations: SUSE HPC module, Slurm and common HPC schedulers, MPI libraries, Azure HPC VM SKUs (HB/HC/ND series), Azure Virtual Network, Azure Monitor.
Recommended deployment: Deploy on Azure HPC-optimized SKUs (HB, HC, or ND series) with InfiniBand for tightly coupled workloads. Register to the SUSE Customer Center for updates; scale out into a compute cluster behind your scheduler.
