PelicanHPC is an iso-hybrid (CD or USB) image that let's you set up a high performance computing cluster in a few minutes. A Pelican cluster allows you to do parallel computing using MPI. You can run Pelican on a single multiple core machine to use all cores to solve a problem, or you can network multiple computers together to make a cluster. The frontend node (either a real computer or a virtual machine) boots from the image. The compute nodes boot by PXE, using the frontend node as the server. All of the nodes of the cluster get their filesystems from the same image, so it is guaranteed that all nodes run the the same software. Packages can be added to all nodes using apt-get, thanks to aufs. The bootable image is created by running a single script, which takes advantage of the Debian Live infrastructure.

Faiss
Library for efficient similarity search and clustering dense vectors
Faiss is a library for efficient similarity search and clustering of dense vectors. It contains algorithms that search in sets of vectors of any size, up to ones that possibly do not fit in RAM. It also contains supporting code for evaluation and parameter tuning. Faiss is written in C++ with complete wrappers for Python/numpy. Some of the most useful algorithms are implemented on the GPU. It is developed by Facebook AI Research. Faiss contains several methods for similarity search. It assumes that the instances are represented as vectors and are identified by an integer, and that the vectors can be compared with L2 (Euclidean) distances or dot products. Vectors that are similar to a query vector are those that have the lowest L2 distance or the highest dot product with the query vector. It also supports cosine similarity, since this is a dot product on normalized vectors. -

ClusterSSH (cssh)
Cluster SSH - Cluster Admin Via SSH
ClusterSSH is a tool to manage simultaneous interactive sessions across multiple SSH-accessible hosts. It opens one master terminal and many child terminal windows (or tabs), sending the same keystrokes to all clients while allowing isolated input per host. This is useful when orchestrating repetitive tasks—such as rolling updates or diagnosing distributed systems—without copying and pasting into each window. The interface supports splitting windows, delayed input modes, and host groupings to make clusters more manageable. It also includes features like per-host prompt prefixing or context awareness to avoid confusion in mixed environments. Because the architecture is simple and terminal-based, it works across diverse systems with minimal dependencies and remains popular among sysadmins wanting bulk control with tactile feedback. -

Popeye
A Kubernetes cluster resource sanitizer
Popeye is a utility that scans live Kubernetes cluster and reports potential issues with deployed resources and configurations. It sanitizes your cluster based on what’s deployed and not what’s sitting on disk. By scanning your cluster, it detects misconfigurations and helps you to ensure that best practices are in place, thus preventing future headaches. It aims at reducing the cognitive overload one faces when operating a Kubernetes cluster in the wild. Furthermore, if your cluster employs a metric-server, it reports potential resources over/under allocations and attempts to warn you should your cluster run out of capacity. Popeye is a readonly tool, it does not alter any of your Kubernetes resources in any way! Popeye is not another static analysis tool. It runs and inspect Kubernetes resources on live clusters and sanitize resources as they are in the wild! -

kube-state-metrics
Add-on agent to generate and expose cluster-level metrics
kube-state-metrics (KSM) is a simple service that listens to the Kubernetes API server and generates metrics about the state of the objects. (See examples in the Metrics section below.) It is not focused on the health of the individual Kubernetes components, but rather on the health of the various objects inside, such as deployments, nodes and pods. kube-state-metrics is about generating metrics from Kubernetes API objects without modification. This ensures that features provided by kube-state-metrics have the same grade of stability as the Kubernetes API objects themselves. In turn, this means that kube-state-metrics in certain situations may not show the exact same values as kubectl, as kubectl applies certain heuristics to display comprehensible messages. kube-state-metrics exposes raw data unmodified from the Kubernetes API, this way users have all the data they require and perform heuristics as they see fit. -

vcluster
Create fully functional virtual Kubernetes clusters
Create fully functional virtual Kubernetes clusters with vcluster. Each vcluster runs inside a namespace of the underlying k8s cluster. It's cheaper than creating separate full-blown clusters and it offers better multi-tenancy and isolation than regular namespaces. vcluster itself is a certified Kubernetes distribution and is 100% Kubernetes API conform. Everything that works in a regular Kubernetes cluster works in cluster. Pods are scheduled in the underlying host cluster, so they get no performance hit at all while running. Split up large multi-tenant clusters into smaller vcluster to reduce complexity and increase scalability. Since most vcluster api requests and objects will not reach the host cluster at all, vcluster can greatly decrease pressure on the underlying Kubernetes cluster. Create via vcluster CLI, helm, kubectl, Argo or any of your favorite tools (it is basically just a StatefulSet).
