"Back to School" with Chameleon

A roundup of all the recent updates to our documentation and tutorials

Welcome back, Chameleonaires! As we transition from summer to our usual routines, check out the new and improved resources for getting started with Chameleon. Our engineers have been hard at work creating new tutorials, including interactive Trovi artifacts and live sessions. We've also updated our Getting Started guide to make it easier to use Chameleon’s powerful tools. Dive into our latest Trovi artifacts and tutorials to boost your research efficiency. Happy experimenting!

Chameleon Changelog for August 2024

This month, we are excited to announce GigaIO nodes at TACC, the OpenStack Antelope upgrade at TACC and an upgrade guide for associate sites, and a new associate site CHI@NRP. Additionally, we finally have Raspberry Pi 5 support for CHI@Edge. There is also a brand new Trovi dashboard (under preview). And we also improved the reliability of phase 2 nodes at CHI@UC.
