HPC and the cloud
The cloud is an opportunity to embrace new technology.
New environments bring new challenges,but with the right tools migration should be seamless.
Flexible compute means an unknown compute environment; workloads need to be platform agnostic.
Containers will help to make sure that your tools run, but it’s up to you to make sure that they run well.

Introducing our newest tool: Ellexus Container Checker
Ellexus: The I/O profiling companywww.ellexus.com
You've made your Docker container:
o Which files and network locations does it access?o Where does it spend its time? o Will it be scalable?o Have any third party changes caused a problem?
Run Container Checker to generate a simple report on the I/O performance of the applications within your Docker container.

One simple report
Using Ellexus Container Checker is simple: 1. Launch your container using the Ellexus Container Checker Docker launcher2. Receive your report once your application has finished.
The report will include:
I/O performanceSmall reads and writes? Excess meta data operations?
Deployment and securityMake sure nothing is missing Does the container access files or network locations that it shouldn’t?
TimeWhere is your application wasting time? Should you use a different cloud instance?
