AWS Launches 1 Observability Solution for Parallel Computing Service

3 articles · Updated · AWS Blog · Jun 2

Amazon Web Services introduced a new observability package for AWS Parallel Computing Service, giving HPC users real-time views of job performance, resource allocation and diagnostic data.
The setup combines Amazon Managed Grafana with Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, pulling metrics and logs from CloudWatch Logs, Slurm, EFA, node and GPU exporters through OpenTelemetry collectors.
Built-in dashboards track cluster CPUs, jobs, nodes, GPUs, partitions, FSx for Lustre, logs and EFA, including dropped packets, RDMA reads and writes, and GPU memory use.
AWS said the tooling is aimed at long-running workloads that can last days or weeks, where faster fault detection can improve research accuracy, raise utilization and cut cloud computing costs.
