Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method, system, and apparatus for configuring a computing system, such as a cloud computing system. A method includes, based on user selections received via a user interface, configuring a cluster of nodes by selecting the cluster of nodes from a plurality of available nodes, selecting a workload container module from a plurality of available workload container modules for operation on each node of the selected cluster of nodes, and selecting a workload for execution with the workload container on the cluster of nodes. Each node of the cluster of nodes includes at least one processing device and memory, and the cluster of nodes is operative to share processing of a workload.
