Description

This wraps the commands for creating a cluster suitable for future workloads.

Usage

gce_vm_cluster(
  vm_prefix = "r-cluster-",
  cluster_size = 3,
  docker_image = NULL,
  ...,
  ssh_args = NULL,
  project = gce_get_global_project(),
  zone = gce_get_global_zone()
)

Arguments

vm_prefix	The prefix of the VMs you want to make. Will be appended the cluster number
cluster_size	The number of VMs in your cluster
docker_image	The docker image the jobs on the cluster will run on. Default NULL will use rocker/r-parallel
...	Passed to gce_vm_template
ssh_args	A list of optional arguments that will be passed to gce_ssh_setup
project	The project to launch the cluster in
zone	The zone to launch the cluster in
