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.
