well, I don't know what you use? however
- ZFS is in Ubuntu now, you can host a nice NFS-server easily. MiniIO is a single Go binary, databases are packaged too.
- Slurm is packaged too! I have to admit this gets hairy if you want to have something like https://github.com/NVIDIA/pyxis but still this is far from arcane "alternative" software but the standard. If you buy Nvidia, it comes with your DGX-server just like its rented out by Amazon...
the main remaining pain point I would see is actually netbooting/autoprovisioning the machines (at least this was annoying with us).
