How to create a `cluster.json` file

How to initially create a cluster configuration

Overview

Every cluster is configured using a dedicated cluster.json file, that is part of the job archive. You can find the JSON schema for it here. This file provides information about the homogeneous hardware partitions within the cluster including the node topology and the metric list. A real production configuration is provided as part of cc-examples.

Structure

There are the following main parts:

  • name: The name of the cluster
  • metricConfig: The metric list configuration
  • subClusters: Homogeneous hardware partitions in the cluster

The metric configuration

There is one metric list per cluster. You can find a list of recommended metrics and their naming here.
