Today Sylabs announced the Generally Available Release of Singularity 3.3.0. As the premier Container platform for performance-sensitive workloads, this release of Singularity focused on quality and stability.
Given the frenetic pace of development, we saw this as an opportunity to double down on quality and stability. Three release candidates later, you can appreciate that the quality and stability objective has been achieved in spades. Kudos to the entire user, developer, and provider community for their collective and substantial efforts in reaching this milestone.
Highlights:
- Secure UID/GID mappings via user namespaces.
This is great! I love that we can pretend to be uid 0,” said Pierre Rioux, a developer at the Montreal Neurological Institute. “User namespaces have been here for a few years so all my systems support it, too. Big thanks to the Singularity dev team!
- A new
sifcommand to allow for the inspection and manipulation of SIF files with the following subcommands. - A new
orasURI for pushing and pulling SIF files to and from supported OCI registries
