SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the process of creating a local UNIX user on a SUNK deployment, eliminating the need for complex setups like authentik/LDAP or SCIM.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Single User Provisioning: Easily create a local UNIX user with an SSH key, without the need for directory services.
  • Automated Slurm Association: Automatically registers the user with Slurmdbd for immediate job submission.
  • Works Across Providers: Supports any SUNK deployment on EKS, GKE, or bare-metal.

Quick Start

./infrastructure/universal/add-sunk-user.sh add \
  --username alice \
  --uid 1001 --gid 1001 \
  --email alice@example.com \
  --ssh-key "$(cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub)"

Does SUNK user provisioning automatically register the account with Slurmdbd?▼

Yes, SUNK user provisioning automatically registers the new local UNIX user with Slurmdbd, enabling immediate job submission across the Slurm cluster without requiring manual database configuration.

Can I provision local users for Slurm on any cloud provider with SUNK?▼

Yes, you can provision local users for Slurm on any SUNK deployment, as the provisioning process fully supports environments deployed on EKS, GKE, or bare-metal infrastructure.

How do I add a local user to Slurm using an SSH key?▼

You add a local user to Slurm by running the add-sunk-user.sh script with arguments specifying the username, UID, GID, email, and the contents of your public SSH key file.

Do I need directory services like authentik to manage Slurm users?▼
