How to deploy Windows Azure Worker Nodes as part of a Windows HPC Cluster
|
In this video (10 min), we show you how Windows HPC Server integrates with Windows Azure so you can add Windows Azure nodes to supplement your on-premises computing cluster. This video shows how to create a hosted service and storage account in your Windows Azure subscription, create a node template in HPC Cluster Manager in Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 (with SP1 or later), and then deploy a set of Windows Azure nodes. This video is meant to introduce steps for node deployment, and does not cover application deployment or file staging.
