System and method of providing cloud bursting capabilities in a compute environment using templates

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
• offer one or more cloud agnostic burst templates for bursting one or more workload environments on a chosen cloud environment from a plurality of available cloud environments, each of the one or more cloud agnostic burst templates defining:
• a respective type of application for a respective application template of the one or more cloud agnostic burst templates;
• and
• one or more tasks for provisioning one or more cloud resources and deploying, on the one or more cloud resources, a respective workload environment based on the respective application template;
• receive from a local compute environment, a request to burst the respective workload environment onto a chosen cloud environment using a chosen burst template from the one or more cloud agnostic burst templates;
• and
• based on the chosen burst template:
• provision the one or more cloud resources from the chosen cloud environment;
• deploy the respective workload environment on the one or more cloud resources from the chosen cloud environment;
• and
• add the one or more cloud resources to a cluster of resources on the local compute environment, the cluster of resources comprising the one or more cloud resources from the chosen cloud environment and one or more resources from the local compute environment, wherein the one or more cloud resources from the chosen cloud environment and one or more resources from the local compute environment comprise a set of nodes from the chosen cloud environment and the local compute environment, the set of nodes comprising at least one of a storage node, a compute node, and a network node;
• and
• present, on a graphical user interface, an identification of the set of nodes from the chosen cloud environment and the local compute environment together as operable and available for use by jobs assigned to the set of nodes and a respective status of each job.
