*We just released an update to Galaxy CloudMan.* CloudMan offers an easy
way to get a personal and completely functional instance of Galaxy in the
cloud in just a few minutes, without any manual configuration.
This is mostly an incremental bug fix release with the following summary of
changes:
-
On AWS, updated *galaxyFS* snapshot (snap-e6e1c04a), which includes the
June 2, 2014 Galaxy release with the July 30th security fix. All the tools
installed via the Tool Shed have been updated and a number of new tools
added, most notably: Tophat2, Bowtie2, FastQC, several FASTQ manipulation
tools, several QC tools.
-
For AWS, added support for VPC
-
For OpenStack clouds, added the ability to automatically recover worker
instances on cluster reboot
-
Added support for creating a file system based on a downloadable archive
-
Do not run Galaxy with multiple processes by default. This is because
Tool Shed installs do not work properly in the multi-process mode. This
feature can be enabled by setting user data option
configure_multiple_galaxy_processes to True when launching an instance.
-
Set SGE slots in each queue to be equal to the number of cores on the
instance
-
Set instance IP in the Galaxy's FTP data upload tool message
-
Added support for Nginx v1.4 and allow it (with the PAM module) to used
as the authentication mechanism when accessing Galaxy Reports app
-
Fixed cluster deletion when performed via the API
-
No longer automatically start Hadoop and HTCondor services
-
On manually-invoked instance reboots, do not increment the instance
reboot count that otherwise eventually leads to instance termination
-
Limit the size of the log message buffer used in the UI to 1000 lines.
Long-running instances had issues with this log growing large and that led
to poor UI performance. The complete log is still available from the Admin
page (or the command line).
-
Automatically delete the bucket/container for Test type (*ie*, 'SGE
only') clusters on cluster termination
