Release 17.01
-
Two updates to the galaxyFS, including Galaxy 16.07 and 16.10, both available
from https://launch.usegalaxy.org/. This includes a completely new install
of all the available tools. -
Important: Update Galaxy job configuration so several tools will run
using 4 threads. This has an important implication in that if there are no
worker nodes available with the required number of nodes, jobs for those
tools will never run. The list of tools that have been configured to run this
way is available here. -
Replaced volume-backed GalaxyIndices file system with a CVMFS-backed file
system. Clusters will no longer
create a volume for the indices FS but instead fetch the necessary data from
a replica service. Indices available via this service are the same as the
ones available on Galaxy Main. If you need additional reference genomes,
use the Data Managers and those will be installed on your galaxyFS. -
A new machine image on AWS (
ami-3be8cd2c
in regionus-east-1
and
ami-9ba490e8
in regionus-west-1
) with root file system size of 50GB to
accommodate appropriately sized cache (32GB) for the CVMFS. The image now
supports AWS Enhanced Networking. -
Don't automatically disable the master from running jobs when autoscaling is
enabled. -
Set cluster name as the Name tag for volumes.
-
Accommodate AWS long resource IDs.
-
Add ability to turn on SSL from start via user data (
use_ssl: True
).
