大规模商品集群系统在学术、研究和商业环境中的部署越来越多。随着这种日益普及，人们对这些集群的安全性也产生了担忧。虽然单个商品机器可能已经规定了安全性的最佳实践，但商品机器集群具有与其各部分总和不同的新兴安全属性。这一概念尚未在集群管理技术或研究文献中得到解决。我们强调集群安全的新兴属性，将其区分为独特的问题空间，然后概述保护技术的统一框架。最后，我们描述了我们在国家超级计算应用中心启动的一个专门针对集群安全的监控项目的初步进展。
Large-scale commodity cluster systems are finding increasing deployment in academic, research, and commercial settings. Coupled with this increasing popularity are concerns regarding the security of these clusters. While an individual commodity machine may have prescribed best practices for security, a cluster of commodity machines has emergent security properties that are unique from the sum of its parts. This concept has not yet been addressed in either cluster administration techniques or the research literature. We highlight the emergent properties of cluster security that distinguish it as a unique problem space and then outline a unified framework for protection techniques. We conclude with a description of preliminary progress on a monitoring project focused specifically on cluster security that we have started at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications.
