- More performant node status subsystems bringing support for ever-larger compute node counts without sacrificing compute cycles needed for computation
- Git Repos-as-a-Service enables even more automation making cluster customization, rebuild, and change management even simpler
- Images-as-a-Service gives admins the flexibility to provision bare-metal, VMs, diskless nodes, and other devices while assuring stability on known good states
- Config-less Slurm dramatically simplifies job scheduler setup and configuration
- Managing nodes with varying hardware or software profiles via Dynamic Attributes and Node Groups gives administrators greater efficiency gains and groups of nodes easily and intuitively
