Did you ever find yourself spending half of your 7 day lease iterating on the environment configuration for your experiment and worried that the remaining 4 days are not enough to run it? If so read on: we are aware that configuring your experimental environment can be a bit of a journey and have packed the system with tools and features that will make it smoother.

One of Chameleon's newest features is metrics using Gnocchi. In this post, we will cover how to quickly get started with Gnocchi, including how to access collected metrics and customize which metrics are reported from your Chameleon instances.

If you are a distributed systems, networking or HPC researcher, you may be interested in Chameleon's Orchestration capabilities. Orchestration allows you to perform "one click" deployment of Complex Appliances - clusters of bare metal machines with user defined networking.

Now that you have successfully launched a Chameleon instance, you may want to take a snapshot of it. Snapshots are a great way of saving your work in progress, especially if you have done a lot of configuration to your bare metal instance and you need to preserve the work beyond your lease.

The New Year Chameleon is back -- along with a few new features to help you run your experiments in the New Year!
