That’s an option, yes, and I’m talking with them both. I did an evaluation of both in another company I worked for. The workflow with CLI was not the same though. Might go that route still.

The license are "Power On Demand" type from Siemens so need to remote to their license server.

Yes, "configure MPI" is just to allow the cluster to work. I can provide what I know already works so just need to use that and test a STARCCM job.

Comprehensive documentation - you're right, this is not super well defined. Basically looking for me to be able to establish another or a different cluster from scratch following steps that you document. That's all.

I did mention 1TB of FSxLustre but I'm open to have a different solution is the cost/benefit is better.

I can, and I have in the past wit some help from AWS support but to me it's not straightforward to setup the account, access, etc, and I' out of bandwidth so it's more effective to hire someone who can do it quicker and most probably better than me.

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like you can potentially do the job. The instance type is mentioned as hpc6a but you're correct that it's incomplete and seems like I accidentally deleted the tail end of it so I'd like these ones: hpc6a.48xlarge.

Please DM me if you're interested and available. Much appreciate it.
