+h2. Supported Cloud and HPC platforms
+
+Arvados can run in a variety of configurations. For compute scheduling, Arvados supports HPC clusters using @slurm@, and supports elastic cloud computing on AWS, Google and Azure. For storage, Arvados can store blocks on regular file systems such as ext4 or xfs, on network file systems such as GPFS, or object storage such as Azure blob storage, Amazon S3, and other object storage that supports the S3 API including Google Cloud Storage and Ceph.
h2. Hardware (or virtual machines)
The number of Keepstore, shell and compute nodes listed above is a minimum. In a real production installation, you will likely run many more of each of those types of nodes. In such a scenario, you would probably also want to dedicate a node to the Workbench server and Crunch dispatcher, respectively. For performance reasons, you may want to run the database server on a separate node as well.
