@afgane afgane released this 04 Apr 19:52
  • 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 region us-east-1 and
    ami-9ba490e8 in region us-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).
