To use AWS ParallelCluster in a specific Availibility Zone, do the following:
- In the VPC Dashboard , click "VPC Wizard"
- Then select "VPC with a Single Public Subnet"
- Specify the Availibility Zone you desire, then rename the VPC to a name of your liking (for this I'll use StarCCM) and same for the subnet name. Then click "Create":
- Grab the VPC Id and Subnet Id then update your
~/.parallelcluster/config
file to add a vpc section that includes your newly created vpc and subnets, and reference it in your cluster section:
[cluster mycluster]
...
vpc_settings = public
[vpc public]
vpc_id = [VPC you created]
master_subnet_id = [Public Subnet]
