How to Build a Productive, Cost-efficient OpenFOAM Workflow in the AWS Cloud
Have you outgrown your compute power?
If you’re an OpenFOAM user who’s reached the limit of their local compute power, then this course is designed just for you. It’ll take you from first contact – AWS, all the way through to running your own OpenFOAM jobs in the cloud. It’s a quick-start that will enable you to offload some (or all) of your OpenFOAM jobs to the cloud – productively and cost-effectively.
Maybe you need to run bigger CFD models & your local machines just aren’t up to the job?
Perhaps you need to run more CFD models -out resorting to managing a long & complex job queue?
Are you “borrowing†your colleagues’ machines to run jobs overnight – but they’re still running when they get in the next morning?
Are your CAD workstations always tied-up – running OpenFOAM jobs instead?
If you’re looking to do more – OpenFOAM, -out having to buy any more compute power, then offloading your simulations to the AWS cloud might well be the answer you’ve been looking for.
Can you really run an OpenFOAM workload on AWS?You probably heard of people running all sorts of workloads “in the cloud†and, as the biggest cloud provider, many of them are running on AWS. But is AWS really a viable alternative to buying dedicated CFD hardware? Can you really run OpenFOAM simulations productively and cost-effectively on AWS?
Short answer  Absolutely.
Longer answer  That’s exactly what I’ve been doing since I started CFD Engine in 2012.
I have no CFD hardware, other than a MacBook Pro, and have racked up almost 6,500 instance hours in the last 12-months alone (the cost reporting only goes back 12-months – I wonder what my all-time total is?).
That said, it’s not that easy to get up & running – the right way – all on your own. There are plenty of gotchas waiting to catch you out. As you can see, my $2,039.52 invoice (for a single month’s usage) shows that it’s possible to get it expensively wrong when you don’t know what you’re doing.
A big ol’ AWS bill – you don’t want one of these
Flattening the AWS learning curve
AWS is HUGE – in terms of both it’s market share, and it’s ever-growing list of services and features. It’s almost impossible to keep on top of it all and it’s pretty intimidating at first contact.
Perhaps you signed up for an account, took one look at that never-ending list of services & immediately logged out?
Or maybe you’re worried that you’ll do something wrong and rack-up your very own MONSTER bill?
Are you using the free tier to test things it out – but at the expense of not getting any real simulation work done?
Maybe you’ve taken a few tentative steps but you’re starting to get an itchy feeling that there might be a better way of doing things?
