We could not have articulated it better. In our view EasyBuild or Spack are not good enough anymore. They’re both essential tools, and will remain so going forward, but we need to take the next step and go beyond them, and collaborate even more on a shared stack of software *installations*. #HPC

Thanks a lot to AWS for all the support we got so far, and are still getting. It would have been a lot more challenging to get to where we are today without their help…
