Fabric Testbed is open and ready for use!

[Komal Thareja]

Dear experimenters,

FABRIC is open for business again. The maintenance is complete.

 The following sites will be showing in maintenance for now:

• BRIST, SRI, HAWI, TOKY – these do not have dataplane connections yet, we are working to provision it and will make them available as soon as that happens.

Please read the release notes for Release 1.6 for details but some of the highlights include:-

• Long-lived tokens – users with Long Lived token permissions can now create tokens with a lifetime upto 9 weeks.
• POA (Perform Operational Action) Add/Remove SSH Keys – users can request to add/remove SSH keys to/from the slivers using POA API.
• Internet2 AL2S/CloudConnect updated as per new AL2S API.
• List Resources enhanced to return more granular information for sites including the resource information per worker on each site.

NOTE: Fablib – if you are still using Release 1.5, please update fablib using the command:

pip install fabrictestbed-extensions==1.5.6

Also, if you face issues running notebooks on JH, please ensure there are no entries for fabrictestbed-extensions  in fabric_config/requirements.txt. If you have any entries there, Please remove them and restart your JH container.

Thanks,

Komal

Oversubscription support – EDC and EDUKY sites have been enabled to support CPU over subscription.

I remember the CPU core capacity of STAR site was 384.
It’s now 768.
Did this site receive new hardware or is it oversubscription?

[Komal Thareja]

STAR site has 6 worker nodes each with 128 cores = 768 cores. This is same as the previous release.

Oversubscription is not enabled on STAR.
