Abstract

In response to receiving a parallel processing job from a customer, a system operated by a computing resource service provider allocates and configures a cluster of computer systems capable of executing the job. In an embodiment, each computer system is configured with a first network stack that allows access to resources of the computing resource service provider and a second network stack that allows access to resources of the customer. In an embodiment, the state of the cluster is monitored by the system via the first network stack. In an embodiment, the system deploys a set of tasks on the cluster for fulfilling the processing job. In an embodiment, the tasks have access to the second network stack so that each task can access resources of the customer.
