New Features in SUNK v6.2.0

• The Slurm version has been upgraded from 24.11.0 to 24.11.4. This upgrade incorporates upstream bug fixes and minor feature improvements.

• The Slurm Device Plugin Helm chart has been integrated as a subchart in SUNK. This simplifies GPU resource provisioning within clusters managed by Slurm.

• Slurm has been patched to support the AllowGaps setting in topology.conf. This allows for non-contiguous node groupings in block topology mode.

• A new drain_time_seconds metric has been added for Slurm nodes. This metric reports how long a node has been in the DRAIN or DRAINING state.

• The SUNK operator now includes configurable log levels, which can be set through Helm values. This supports fine-grained control over log verbosity, such as switching between info and debug levels.

• A new compute node type for CPU-only nodes has been defined in the Helm charts. This enables deployment scenarios that do not require GPU-specific configurations.
