Eric Coulter, engineer for Cyberinfrastructure Resource Integration, presented a tutorial on building clusters on the Jetstream system during this month's PEARC 17 conference.  The tutorial steps are available at https://github.com/ecoulter/tutorial_practice, please note that you will need API access to use the OpenStack command-line tools on Jetstream.  These instructions also rely on the use of an OpenStack host where the commands are installed on Jetstream in order to build the cluster.

XCI has created images that allow its cluster toolkit to be used on the Jetstream research cloud system offered by XSEDE.  These images create a persistent cluster in the Jetstream environment and provide software to test and implement clusters.  Currently CRI is supporting the SEAGrid science gateway with a persistent Jetstream cluster.  For more details email help@xsede.org and check out our git repository at https://github.com/XSEDE/CRI_Jetstream_Cluster
