What's New for Developers?
Private Docker Image Deployments: Deploy private images on both provider and Fizz nodes by including credentials in your YAML file. For details, see our Docs.
Pull Policy Support: Define image pull policies within the deployment YAML. Learn more in our Docs.
Port Range Exposure: Expose a range of ports (e.g., 8000-8100) instead of specifying them individually. See our Docs for more information.
Shared Memory for AI Deployments: Deploy AI workloads using shared memory. Details in our Docs.
Multi-Service Deployments: Deploy multiple services on Fizz nodes.
Startup Logs: Fetch startup logs for Fizz node deployments using the --startup argument.
sphnctl deployment logs --lid <LID> --startup
- Deployment Events on Fizz Nodes: Retrieve all deployment events for Fizz nodes.
sphnctl deployment events --lid <LID>
Deployment Status: CLI now shows remaining time before deployment closure when querying status.
GPU Node Restrictions: Deployments on GPU nodes are restricted to YAML files specifying GPU resources.
Contract Updates: Contracts updated across protocol apps, CLI, and provider apps to optimize subgraph performance for network detail retrieval.Note: This upgrade resets deposited escrow funds, provider earnings, and Fizz earnings.
Deployment Time Limits: Minimum deployment time set to 5 minutes.
Fizz Deployment Updates Disabled: Updates for Fizz deployments are no longer available.
What's New for Fizz Nodes?
Node Information: View Fizz node bandwidth, version, and separate versioning for the fizzup.sh script.
WSL Support: Run Fizz nodes on Windows using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
Tunnel Port Authentication: Added authentication for proxy tunnel port connections.
Fizzup.sh Script Improvements:
GPU validation against devices
CUDA toolkit pre-installation when necessary
Docker restart with Nvidia support for GPU-based deployments
YAML file checks before container operations
Speed test skipping when results are unavailable
Docker image removal before container recreation
Enhanced container lifecycle management
Health Check Frequency: Increased to every minute, resulting in a minimum 1-minute delay for online/offline status updates.
Lifecycle Log Enhancements: Improved tracking logs for Fizz nodes.
Reservation List Adjustments: Updated to account for allocated resources in ongoing Fizz deployments.
What's New for Providers?
Transaction Data Compression: Compressed order details and provider spec formats, reducing gas fees by 60%.
Shared Memory Support: Added for AI workloads.
Proxy Server Port Range Restriction: Limited available port range for proxy servers.
Lease Failure Handling: Fixed issue where one provider's lease failure affected others.
Lease Logs for Gateway: Updated interface with configurable log line display.
Codebase Improvements: Enhanced maintainability for provider and gateway codebases.
