Skip execution, at node bootstrap time, of all those install recipes that are already applied at AMI creation time. The old behaviour can be restored setting the property "skip_install_recipes" to "no" through extra_json.

2.4.1

ENHANCEMENTS

Install IntelMPI on Alinux, Centos 7 and Ubuntu 1604
Upgrade EFA to version 1.4.1
Run all node daemons and cookbook recipes in isolated Python virtualenvs. This allows our code to always run with the required Python dependencies and solves all conflicts and runtime failures that were being caused by user packages installed in the system Python

CHANGES

Torque: upgrade to version 6.1.2
Run all node daemons with Python 3.6
Torque: changed following parameters in global configuration:
- server node_check_rate = 120 - Specifies the minimum duration (in seconds) that a node can fail to send a status update before being marked down by the pbs_server daemon. Previously was 600. This reduces scaling reaction times in case of instance failure or unexpected termination (especially with spot)
- server node_ping_rate = 60 - Specifies the maximum interval (in seconds) between successive "pings" sent from the pbs_server daemon to the pbs_mom daemon to determine node/daemon health. Previously was 300. Setting it to half the node_check_rate.
- server timeout_for_job_delete = 30 - The specific timeout used when deleting jobs because the node they are executing on is being deleted. Previously was 120. This prevents job deletion to hang for more than 30 seconds when the node they are running on is being deleted.
- server timeout_for_job_requeue = 30 - The specific timeout used when requeuing jobs because the node they are executing on is being deleted. Previously was 120. This prevents node deletion to hang for more than 30 seconds when a job cannot be rescheduled.

BUG FIXES

Restore correct value for filehandle_limit that was getting reset when setting memory_limit for EFA
Torque: fix configuration of server operators that was preventing compute nodes from disabling themselves before termination

2.4.0

ENHANCEMENTS

CHANGES

SGE: changed following parameters in global configuration
- max_unheard 00:03:00: allows a faster reaction in case of faulty nodes
- reschedule_unknown 00:00:30: enables rescheduling of jobs running on failing nodes
- qmaster_params ENABLE_FORCED_QDEL_IF_UNKNOWN: forces job deletion on unresponsive nodes
- qmaster_params ENABLE_RESCHEDULE_KILL: forces rescheduling or killing of jobs running on failing nodes
Slurm: decrease SlurmdTimeout to 120 seconds to speed up replacement of faulty nodes
Always use full master FQDN when mounting NFS on compute nodes. This solves some issues occurring with some networking setups and custom DNS configurations
Set soft and hard ulimit on open files to 10000 for all supported OSs
Pin python supervisor version to 3.4.0
