To allow for users to better utilise the power of the cloud, we may want to consider allowing them to batch jobs to a managed cluster.
The trick will be letting them write code the way they usually do, and then choosing an option to 'submit job' rather than run it in-situ. The onus would be on ecocloud to wrap that code in a format that allows it to be run in a cluster-like environment.
