AWS ParallelCluster v2.0.0

We are happy to launch AWS ParallelCluster!

AWS ParallelCluster is an enhanced and productized version of CfnCluster.

The configuration file from cfncluster can be used with AWS ParallelCluster. To read more about the differences see: https://aws-parallelcluster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html#moving-from-cfncluster-to-aws-parallelcluster
