Updated Hardware and Network description
A detailed description of all Grid'5000 resources is now available on the Grid'5000 wiki, and generated on a regular basis from the Reference API, so that it stays up-to-date. (As you probably know, the Grid'5000 reference API provides a full description of Grid'5000 as JSON documents). Check out those pages:

Debian 9 environments now use predictable network interfaces names
All our Debian 9 environments have now been modified to use predictable network interfaces names (eno1, ens1, enp2s0, etc. instead of the traditional eth0, eth1, etc.), which is now the default on Debian and most other distributions. You can read more about this standard on https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames .
Because Grid'5000 nodes use different hardware in each cluster, the default network interface name varies, depending on whether it is included on the motherboard or an external NIC plugged in a PCI Express slot.
The mapping between old and new names is available on each site's Hardware page, such as https://www.grid5000.fr/mediawiki/index.php/Nancy:Hardware .
Some useful commands:
- ip link show up : show network interfaces that are up
- ip -o link show up : show network interfaces that are up (one-line format)
- ip addr show up : show network addresses for interfaces that are up
- ip -4 addr show up : show network addresses for interfaces that are up (IPv4 only)
- ip -o -4 addr show up : show network addresses for interfaces that are up (IPv4 only, one-line format)
If you want to stick with the old behaviour, you can either:
- use older versions of the environments, available in /grid5000
- change the environment description (kadeploy .dsc file) and add "--net traditional-names" to the call to g5k-postinstall.
Typically, that would mean:
- Get the current environment description:
kaenv3 -p debian9-x64-min > myenv.dsc
- edit myenv.dsc, find the "script:" line, and add "--net traditio"...
Spring cleanup: removal of wheezy environments, and of HTTP proxies
We recently removed some old cruft.
First, the Debian 7 "wheezy" environments were removed from the Kadeploy database. They remain available on each frontend under /grid5000 for the time being. As a reminder, older environments are archived and still available : see /grid5000/ README.unmaintained-envs for details.
Second, we finally removed the HTTP proxies, that were used in the past to access the outside world from Grid'5000. This removal might cause problems if you use old environments that still rely on HTTP proxies. However, you can simply drop their use.
An upcoming change is the switch to predictable names for network interfaces in our Debian9 environments. More information on this will follow when it is deployed.

Looking back at the first Grid'5000-FIT school
The first Grid’5000-FIT school was held in Sophia Antipolis, France from April 3rd to April 6th, 2018.
During three full days, more than 90 researchers (among them 30 PhD and 8 master students) studied jointly the two experimental research
infrastructures Grid’5000 and FIT.
In addition to high profile invited speakers and more focused presentations for testbeds users, the program included 30 hours of
parallel hands-on sessions. As such, introductory and advanced lab sessions on Grid’5000, FIT IoT-Lab, FIT CorteXlab and FIT R2lab were organized by the testbeds developers, each attracting dozens of attendants. See http://www.silecs.net/1st-grid5000-fit-school/program/ for more details on the presentations and on the hands-on sessions.
The last day, a hackathon involving several participating ad-hoc teams was organized. The hackathon aimed to use heterogeneous testbed
resources as a substrate for building an IoT application from collection of IoT-originating data to cloud-based dashboard.
This event is the first public milestone towards the SILECS project that aims at bringing together both infrastructures. See
http://www.silecs.net/ for more details on SILECS.
