Instead of cloning the full VDB repository from GitHub, could you upload only the milvus-multinode script directory here and reference it directly from this location in your .md file? It should be under 100 KB in total. We can use these later to adapt for Aurora docs.

The deployment scripts and configuration files for running Milvus on Aurora are available in the [VDBAurora](https://github.com/jingyanjiang/VDBAurora-main) repository. Clone the repository to your home directory on Aurora:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/jingyanjiang/VDBAurora-main.git

do we want to move this to an argonne-lcf repo?

Yes. But just the Milvus directory.
The current one would be for Polaris. We can have another directory for Aurora.

I suppose it would be cleaner to do so. Let me know if I can do it from my end. I never did this before

I have both ready for Aurora and Polaris in those two docs.

There are several scripts related to the testing in a nested structure. It might be messy to upload here directly. Maybe I could create small repos that only include the milvus multimode scripts for both Aurora and Polaris?
