Warewulf is an open-source, stateless cluster management framework for provisioning and managing bare-metal HPC nodes. This presentation walks through the full deployment workflow: installing Warewulf, building node images with the native wwctl toolchain and Apptainer sandboxes, synchronizing user and group IDs, and managing per-node customization through overlays. Attendees will leave with a practical understanding of how to deploy and maintain a Warewulf-managed cluster from initial setup through ongoing image updates.
