The New Stack Podcast

Univa's Project Tortuga and the Intersections of Kubernetes and HPC Workloads

Episode Summary

Rob Lalonde is vice president and general manager for Navops at the Univa Corporation. Rob and TNS Founder Alex Williams had a conversation at the Open Source Leadership conference in Sonoma, Ca. We talked quite a bit about Project Tortuga, which Susan Hall, writing for The New Stack, explained this way: It’s a general-purpose cluster- and cloud-management framework with applications including high-performance computing (HPC), Big Data frameworks, Kubernetes and scale-out machine learning/deep learning environments. Univa is an established company in the high computing performance (HPC) space. Navops is a connector of sorts to the HPC world. The connections are forming with cloud services and the story about how Kubernetes fits with scaled out architectures managing HPC workloads. Tortuga is a general purpose cluster-and cloud-management framework that automates the deployment of clusters in local on-premise, cloud and hybrid-cloud configurations through repeatable templates.
