 # What is Cloud Bursting?
 
-Cloud bursting is a configuration in cloud computing that allows an organization to handle peaks in IT demand by using a combination of private and public clouds. When the resources in a private cloud reach their maximum capacity, the overflow traffic is directed to a public cloud to ensure there is no interruption in services. This setup provides flexibility and cost savings, as you only pay for the additional resources when there is a demand for them.
+Cloud bursting is a configuration in cloud computing that allows an organization to handle peaks in IT demand by using a combination of private and public clouds. When the resources in a private cloud reach their maximum capacity, the overflow traffic is directed to a public cloud to ensure there is no interruption in services. This setup provides flexibility and cost savings, as you only pay for the supplemental resources when there is a demand for them.
 
 For example, an application can run on a private cloud and "burst" to a public cloud only when necessary to meet peak demands. This approach helps avoid the costs associated with maintaining extra capacity that is not always in use
 
-Cloud bursting can be used in various scenarios, such as enabling on-premises workloads to be sent to the cloud for processing, known as hybrid HPC (High-Performance Computing). This allows users to optimize their resource utilization and cost efficiency while accessing the scalability and flexibility of the cloud.

 ## Overview
 
-This document offers a step-by-step guide on installing and configuring a Slurm scheduler to burst computing resources into the cloud using Azure CycleCloud. It explains how to create a Hybrid HPC (High-Performance Computing) environment by extending on-premises Slurm clusters into Azure, allowing for seamless access to scalable and flexible cloud computing resources. The guide provides a practical example of optimizing compute capacity by integrating local infrastructure with cloud-based solutions.

 ## Centralized User management system (LDAP or AD)
 In HPC environments, maintaining consistent user IDs (UIDs) and group IDs (GIDs) across the cluster is critical for seamless user access and resource management. A centralized user management system, such as LDAP or Active Directory (AD), ensures that UIDs and GIDs are synchronized across all compute nodes and storage systems.
