Omnia: Everything at once!

Omnia is a containerized, open-source deployment toolkit designed to automate the setup and management of high-performance computing (HPC) environments on Linux-based servers. It leverages Ansible playbooks to streamline:

• Operating system provisioning

• Driver installation and configuration

• Deployment of workload schedulers such as Slurm and Kubernetes

• Installation of optimization libraries, machine learning frameworks, and AI models

• Management of compute, storage, and networking resources

Omnia simplifies infrastructure deployment in complex environments, enabling faster setup and consistent configuration across systems.

The project is hosted on GitHub., where you can:

• Access the source code

• Report issues

• Ask questions

• Contribute to development

For a better understanding of what Omnia does, check out the following:

• 1.x documentation: supports diskful provisioning.

• 2.x documentation: supports diskless provisioning and containerized deployment.

Note

Upgrade from Omnia 1.x to 2.x is not supported due to architectural changes.
