Hi Eric, sorry, I'm a bit late to this thread. You might want to have a look at Qlustar as an easy cluster solution based on Ubuntu 16.04, version 10.0 just released recently. Slurm is fully setup after installation, nice management GUI, with Slurm component, and a huge lot more. It's now 100% Open Source and free.
