To run artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), or high performance
computing (HPC) workloads, you can create AI-optimized VMs and clusters that
can use the features and services available from
Cluster Director. For more information about Cluster Director, see
Cluster Director.
You can access Cluster Director features directly from
Compute Engine, or through other services that run on Compute Engine
instances like Cluster Toolkit or Google Kubernetes Engine.
For the most appropriate option to create your VMs or clusters for your use
case, choose one of the following:

Use case
Cluster Toolkit
You want to use open-source software that simplifies the process
for you to deploy both Slurm and GKE clusters. Cluster Toolkit is
designed to be highly customizable and extensible. To learn more,
