Yes, clusters are particularly easy on this environment, I work with our analytics group on hadoop clusters. The most important thing to do is install good parallel computing utilities like pdsh and have ssh equivalency setup, then creating a cluster of machine sis realyl easy because you get N machines configured the same with full access to each other. Then you use ssh based scripts to distribute your software. In our environment we use Cloudera manager to distribute and start and manage our hadoop cluster, there should be something similar for mpi clusters. The nice thing about open nebula is that you can distribute your resource allocation over generic cpu, memory and disk resources and hardware optimization is easy because you can customize one template and redeploy the entire cluster.<br>
