In the SLUG'22 presentation
https://slurm.schedmd.com/SLUG22/Dynamic_Nodes.pdf Nate Rini said on slide 21:
Include file configuration now pushed along with other Slurm conf files
Makes cloud configurations easier, especially hybrid!
Right now the slurm.conf is either baked into the image or on a shared file
system
Most Cloud configurations with use an “Include” in the slurm.conf
Reading the section INCLUDE MODIFIERS in the slurm.conf manual page, only
a %c ClusterName variable may be substituted.
I fail to see how "include" can be useful, and what the relation to hybrid
clusters may be? Using Configless also with cloud nodes seems like a good
approach, but why use "include" at all?
Can anyone shed light on the use cases for "include" in slurm.conf?
Thanks,
Ole
