New Features in SUNK v6.4.0

  • You can now configure an external MySQL database for Slurm's internal accounting instance directly via the Helm chart. This enables integration with existing database infrastructures.

  • Login pods will automatically resolve their hostnames, so you can SSH into them without needing to specify the fully qualified domain name.

  • A customizable motd annotation lets you display a dynamic "message of the day" to users when they SSH to a login pod.

  • Users gain the ability to "reboot" their individual login pod by integrating with Kubernetes to recreate the pod.

  • The Slurm-login controller is now more resilient: it will skip over unreconcilable resources and continue reconciling without failing out completely.

  • When running scontrol show node, SUNK will include configured dashboard URLs for each node and surface relevant error logs when jobs fail, improving operational visibility.
