Discover the powerful updates in Python-chi 1.0, Chameleon's official Python library. This new release brings improved typing, new modules for hardware and storage management, interactive Jupyter widgets, clearer error messages, and easier low-level access. Learn how these enhancements can simplify your experiment workflow, from resource allocation to data analysis. Whether you're a seasoned Chameleon user or just getting started, Python-chi 1.0 offers tools to make your research more efficient and reproducible.

This month we have python-chi 1.0 released, and a new bare metal experiment pattern artifact to go with it!

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.
 

This month we celebrated 9 years of Chameleon, and shared the exciting news of Chameleon Phase 4! We also completed the openstack upgrade at CHI@UC, updated the Getting Started, and released a dev version of python-chi.

This month, we are preparing for a big upgrade on July 15th. Additionally, we have CHI-in-a-box for edge sites, new hardware at CHI@UC, and improvements to project management.

This month we’ve again been focusing on improvements to the Chameleon backend, but we still are excited to show our CHI@Edge peripheral guide and new CHI-in-a-box features. We also are preparing for an OpenStack upgrade on July 1st.
 

This month, we’ve been mostly focusing on improving the Chameleon backend, and don't have any exciting new features for you. We still found some time for a few things that hopefully will make experimentation easier, including an upcoming reproducibility workshop, an updated Chameleon tutorial video, and two new Trovi artifacts: for orchestrating instances and using SSH on CHI@Edge.
 

This month, we are very excited to announce CHI@Edge is coming out of preview! We also have new artifacts that allow you to explore Fabnet with, and new per-user SU budgeting.

This month, we bring a lot of updates to our CC-images. And we also remind users about our user survey and upcoming maintenance at CHI@UC.
 

Happy New Year! We are back and happy to see you are back as well! In this changelog edition we highlight the most significant testbed changes and upgrades from the last year and hint at some surprises yet to come. Looking forward to working with you in 2024!
