Latest news
For some time now there were several issues with kwapi monitoring of energy consumption and network traffic on Grid5000.
After some investigations, we made these actions to fix the problems:
- Network monitoring has been disabled in Kwapi (servers were overloaded)
- Code has been optimized and many bugs have been fixed.
- Reliability problems with measurements made on some Power Delivery Units have been identified and Kwapi has been disabled on clusters where these problems are too important.
- The time resolution of some PDUs has been updated in the reference API
Some details about PDU measurements issues can be found here: https://www.grid5000.fr/mediawiki/index.php/Power_Monitoring_Devices#measurement_artifacts_and_pitfalls
The current status of Kwapi energy monitoring can be checked here: https://intranet.grid5000.fr/jenkins-status/?job=test_kwapi
For every clusters marked "green", Kwapi can be considered to be functional.
Cluster where dedicated monitoring devices are available (Lyon and Grenoble) are still fully fonctional.

Grid'5000 is now part of the Fed4FIRE testbeds federation
In the context of the Fed4FIRE+ H2020 project, Grid'5000 joined the Fed4FIRE federation and is now listed as one of its testbeds.
There is still ongoing work in order to allow the use of Grid'5000 resources using Fed4FIRE API and tools.

New clusters available in Grenoble
We have the pleasure to announce that the 2 new clusters in Grenoble are now fully operational:
- dahu: 32x Dell PE C6420, 2 x Intel Xeon Gold 6130 (Skylake, 2.10GHz, 16 cores), 192 GiB RAM, 240+480 GB SSD + 4.0 TB HDD, 10 Gbps Ethernet + 100 Gbps Omni-Path
- yeti: 4x Dell PE R940, 4 x Intel Xeon Gold 6130 (Skylake, 2.10GHz, 16 cores), 768 GiB RAM, 480 GB SSD + 2x 1.6 TB NVME SSD + 3x 2.0 TB HDD, 10 Gbps Ethernet + 100 Gbps Omni-Path
These nodes share a Omnipath network with 40 additionnal "dahu"s, operated by GRICAD (Mésocentre HPC of Univ. Grenoble-Alpes) and are equipped with high frequency power monitoring devices (same wattmeters as in Lyon). This equippement was mainly funded by the LECO CPER (FEDER, Région Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, DRRT, Inria), and the COMUE Univ. Grenoble-Alpes.

New environnements available for testing: Centos 7, Ubuntu 18.04, Debian testing
Three new environments are now available, and registered on all sites with Kadeploy: Centos 7 (centos7-x64-min), Ubuntu 18.04 (ubuntu1804-x64-min), Debian testing (debiantesting-x64-min).
They are in a beta state: at this point, we welcome feedback from users about those environments (issues, missing features, etc.).
We also welcome feedback on other environments that would be useful for your experiments, and that are currently missing from the set of environments provided on Grid'5000.
Those environments are built with Kameleon <http://kameleon.imag.fr/>. Recipes are available in the 'newrecipes' branch of the environments-recipes git repository:
https://github.com/grid5000/environments-recipes/tree/newrecipes
Our testing indicates that those environments work fine on all clusters, except in those cases:
- Debian testing on granduc (luxembourg) and sagittaire (lyon): deployment fails due to lack of entropy after boot (related to the fix for CVE-2018-1108)
- Debian testing on chifflot (lille): deployment fails because the predictable naming of network interfaces changed
