New usage patterns of computing for research have emerged that rely on the availability of flexible, elastic, and highly specialized services, that may not be well suited to traditional batch HPC. A new approach that updates and evolves the research computing ecosystem is needed to respond to these needs. This new model, a Kubernetes-based "Community Composable Platform", builds upon Purdue's Community Cluster program to provide cost effective, highly responsive, and customizable composable computing solutions for domain science and education in a variety of communities.
