What does "HPC cluster with Linux compute nodes" do? #2275

@sunbinzhu I was curious what your template did. Is there any chance you could add some documentation to the README to explain what this HPC cluster is? Does it use slurm to connect the nodes? How does it do HPC? I don't see a scheduler in the config.

@zfrenchee Sorry for the late reply, the series of create-hpc-cluster templates are used to deploy a Microsoft HPC cluster with Microsoft HPC Pack 2012 R2 Update 3, but not slurm. More about Microsoft HPC Pack 2012 R2 please see https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-linux-classic-hpcpack-cluster/
