How To

  • Using Vagrant to run examples as we go through the book.
  • Everything here is intended to be practical
  • Will use rocky 8 for most of the work
  • Create a shared folder we will install reusable applications to using spack or easybuild
  • If we are using rocky 8, then this should not be a problem
  • Can we use packer to build base images?
  • Should I use docker instead? Run everything in containers?
  • Why use libvirt on linux?
  • PXE booting is a little easier
  • Opinion by the author and does not like virtual box
  • Why not docker?
    • Nested docker in some instances
    • Want to test PXE booting with warewulf
    • Look at using docker instead of vm's
