Categories – Chameleon Changelog

Happy New Year! We’ve had a busy 2024 with new hardware and many system improvements! In our changelog today we note a couple of nits that slid under the wire in the last year and propose important changes to our virtualized offering – please, read carefully we are asking for your feedback to make sure that those innovations don’t interfere with your ability to use the system for your experiments. 
 

This month we have presentations from the 5th Chameleon User Meeting on practical reproducibility, and lots of housekeeping on Chameleon. These include improvements to IP availability, and fixes to the core testbed, Trovi, and CHI@Edge.

This month, we have updated appliances including Ubuntu 24.04! We also have Trovi dashboard updates and fixes to ARM64 nodes at CHI@TACC.

This month we have python-chi 1.0 released, and a new bare metal experiment pattern artifact to go with it!

This month, we are excited to announce GigaIO nodes at TACC, the OpenStack Antelope upgrade at TACC and an upgrade guide for associate sites, and a new associate site CHI@NRP. Additionally, we finally have Raspberry Pi 5 support for CHI@Edge. There is also a brand new Trovi dashboard (under preview). And we also improved the reliability of phase 2 nodes at CHI@UC.
 

This month we celebrated 9 years of Chameleon, and shared the exciting news of Chameleon Phase 4! We also completed the openstack upgrade at CHI@UC, updated the Getting Started, and released a dev version of python-chi.

This month, we are preparing for a big upgrade on July 15th. Additionally, we have CHI-in-a-box for edge sites, new hardware at CHI@UC, and improvements to project management.

This month we’ve again been focusing on improvements to the Chameleon backend, but we still are excited to show our CHI@Edge peripheral guide and new CHI-in-a-box features. We also are preparing for an OpenStack upgrade on July 1st.
 

This month, we’ve been mostly focusing on improving the Chameleon backend, and don't have any exciting new features for you. We still found some time for a few things that hopefully will make experimentation easier, including an upcoming reproducibility workshop, an updated Chameleon tutorial video, and two new Trovi artifacts: for orchestrating instances and using SSH on CHI@Edge.
 

This month, we are very excited to announce CHI@Edge is coming out of preview! We also have new artifacts that allow you to explore Fabnet with, and new per-user SU budgeting.
