We are using cfncluster-1.6.1 on our project via java SDK and thinking about updating cfncluster version. In accordance with documentation it was renamed to aws-parallelcluster.

Could you tell me whether we can still use aws-java-sdk-cloudformation or is there any other Java SDK for parallelcluster?

Thanks

Is there a way to submit a container using awsbsub as a workload?
If so, and I assume there must be, can anyone provide an example?

Version 2 of AWS ParallelCluster has a tutorial on using AWS Batch with MPI. Will this be updated for version 3 or has support for MPI computation on multiple nodes been deprecated? MPI is still available on the login node.

We're trying to avoid using a user with AdministratorAccess permissions and instead are using
a dedicated user with the example ParallelClusterUserPolicy using SGE, Slurm, or Torque policy attached.

When running the pcluster configure command, if you're also creating VPC, you are presented with the following error:

  - AWS::EC2::NatGateway NatGatewayPublic Resource creation cancelled
  - AWS::EC2::Route DefaultRouteDependsOnPublic API: ec2:CreateRoute You are not authorized to perform this operation.

We can fix this by adding ec2:CreateRoute to the user's permissions.

Are the ParallelClusterUserPolicy examples (in iam.md) - one for "using awsbatch" and one for "using SGE, Slurm or Torque" - missing the ec2:CreateRoute action in the NetworkingEasyConfig Sid? I only ask because NetworkingEasyConfig seems to have everything else related to networking except CreateRoute.

Hi, it may be worth mentioning that Simple AD is not available in us-east-2 or us-west-1, maybe just a sentence after this:

"You can use an AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory or Simple AD to manage cluster access."

For reference, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/directoryservice/latest/admin-guide/regions.html

The instructions here won't work, as the Simple AD option will not be available in the console.
