-Job schedulers are responsible for scheduling user jobs, that is, determining where and when jobs should be executed. In the context of the cloud, job schedulers interact with resource orchestrators to acquire/release resources on-demand, which is different from an on-premises environment where resources are fixed and fully available all the time. The most common HPC job schedulers are Slurm, OpenPBS, PBSPro, and LSF.

 Monitoring is a crucial aspect of managing an HPC environment in the cloud, ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and security. Effective monitoring allows administrators to gain real-time insights into system performance, detect and address issues promptly, and make informed decisions to optimize resource utilization. Key metrics such as CPU and memory usage, job execution times, and network throughput provide valuable information about the health and efficiency of the infrastructure.

-One of the key component's users interact with in an on-premises environment is the job scheduler (for example, Slurm, PBS, and LSF).

However, the difference is that resources are no longer static; they're provisioned on-demand.
 
 This section covers the core components related to the job scheduler, including the resource orchestrator for provisioning and setting up resources, identity management for user authentication, monitoring (including node health checks), and accounting to better understand the status and usage of resources. Each component plays a crucial role in ensuring the performance, scalability, and security of the HPC environment. By utilizing familiar on-premises technologies like Active Directory and established application runtimes, organizations can transition to the cloud more smoothly while maintaining continuity. A comprehensive overview of tools, best practices, and quick-start setups is provided, with the goal of progressively automating these services as the cloud environment evolves.

-# Deployment step 4: compute nodes - overview
+# Compute node migration overview
 
 Managing compute nodes in an HPC cloud environment involves careful consideration of virtual machine (VM) types, images, and quota limits. Testing key on-premises workloads in the cloud helps assess the cost-benefit of different VM SKUs, allowing for more informed hardware decisions over time. Azure provides preconfigured HPC images for Ubuntu and Alma Linux, which include necessary drivers and libraries, simplifying the deployment process. Custom images can also be created using available resources from the Azure HPC image repository. Additionally, it’s important to plan resource usage carefully and consult with Azure to avoid quota limitations, especially when scaling across multiple regions.
