CfnCluster 1.3.2

We are happy to announce the availability of CfnCluster 1.3.2. CfnCluster 1.3.2 is a maintenance release, with updates to the supported instance and region lists, as well as updated AMIs. CfnCluster is now licensed under the Apache 2.0 license and has become an AWS Labs project hosted on Github (https://github.com/awslabs/cfncluster).

• How to update?
  • sudo pip install —upgrade cfncluster
• Highlighted Changes:
  • Add support for r2.xlarge/t2.2xlarge, x1.16xlarge, r4., f1., and i3.* instance types
  • Fix support for p2.2xlarge instance type
  • Add support for eu-west-2, us-east-2, and ca-central-1 regions
  • Updated to cfncluster-cookbook-1.3.2
  • Update all base AMIs to latest patch levels
  • Moved to Apache 2.0 license
  • Support for Python 3
  • Removed support for Openlava (due to licensing restrictions)
• Known Issues:
  • CfnCluster 1.3.2 supports the I3 and F1 instance families. However, it will not automatically setup a single, RAIDed volume across all available instance store volumes (like it will for other instance families which support instance storage). This will be fixed in a future release.
