This page describes Google's catalog of cluster blueprints, which are reusable YAML configuration files for deploying specific, opinionated solutions with the Cluster Toolkit. Each blueprint defines a specific environment, including the scheduler, storage, machine types, and base operating system.
You can filter the catalog by your required scheduler, storage, machine types, and base operating system. Each entry highlights featured applications and Google Cloud resources that the blueprint leverages.
A cluster blueprint is a YAML file that defines a reusable configuration and
describes the specific environment that you want to deploy using
Cluster Toolkit. A cluster blueprint implements and documents a
specific opinionated solution. For more information about cluster blueprints,
see Cluster blueprint.
To search the catalog, you can filter by a combination of your required scheduler, storage, machine types, and base operating system. For machine types that have NVIDIA GPUs automatically attached, the GPU type is listed in brackets. For each cluster blueprint, featured applications and Google Cloud resources that can be leveraged by using the blueprint are also highlighted.
