New: Support for Kubernetes!
In addition to Docker and Docker Swarm, with Container Service 3.2.0 you can now run your container jobs on a Kubernetes cluster. We expect that this will be a welcome addition for site admins that deploy to the cloud, as all the cloud providers have native solutions for building a Kubernetes cluster.
All the core Container Service operations are supported: launching containers, monitoring and reporting their states, mounting XNAT data files as container inputs, loading container outputs into XNAT as new objects, and reading container logs.
Other key improvements include:
Additionally, the Batch Launch Plugin has released a companion update, including the following features:
Container Service 3.2.0 and Batch Launch 0.6.0 require XNAT 1.8.5 or later. See the updated Compatibility Matrix for full guidance on dependencies and feature parity.
