Automating VM creation: Difference between revisions

CVMFS is a [https://cvmfs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ CERN-VM] based file system that provides a scalable, reliable, and low maintenance research software distribution service. At the client end, users just need to mount CVMFS and then use the software or libraries directly without worrying about compiling, building, or patching. All the software are pre-compiled for common OS flavors and even modularized so that users can simply load a software as a module.  

CVMFS has already been installed on Compute Canada cluster systems such as Cedar, Graham, and Beluga, while on cloud systems users need to enable it by hand.  

Here is the instruction: [https://github.com/ComputeCanada/cvmfs/tree/main/cvmfs_on_cloud To enable CVMFS on CC Clouds].
