Release 13.5

Updated

New in ZEDEDA Cloud Release 13.5

ZEDEDA Cloud versions

  • ZEDEDA GUI: 13.5.0
  • ZEDEDA API: 13.5.1

New features: 

  • New container-mode ‘reduced isolation’ for ARM64
    • This release introduces a new container-mode for deploying containers on ARM64 platforms. Reduced isolation containers do not provide the added security of a lightweight virtual machine wrapper around the workload. While it reduces isolation, it provides containers direct access to hardware accelerators such as GPUs, NPUs, and TPUs. This is relevant for use-cases where it is not possible to virtualize or PCI passthrough the accelerator to a virtualization layer such as the Nvidia Jetson family of devices. Reduced isolation is only supported on ARM64 based hardware. The minimum EVE LTS version for this functionality will be 13.4.  
  • Support for Nvidia Jetson platforms
    • Initial support requires building EVE from source using ‘platform=nvidia’. It provides driver+kernel support aligned with Jetpack 5/Jetson Linux 35.5.0, which supports Jetson Xavier and Jetson Orin devices. Following devices are currently supported:
      • Xavier NX device support for: Jetson Xavier NX developer kit, Lenovo SE70 and Siemens IPC520A
      • Orin Nano device support for: Jetson Orin Nano developer kit  
  • Switch Networks with multiple ports
    • Support  for switch network instances with multiple ports has been added. Using adapter labels, multiple ports can be associated to a single switched network instance. This enables redundant connectivity into an L2 segment and enables connecting multiple external end-devices into a single switch instance. EVE uses spanning tree (STP) to prevent loops and BPDU guards to prevent end-devices from participating in STP. The minimum EVE LTS version for this functionality will be 13.4.

Enhanced features: 

  • Hardware model enhancements:
    • Edge-node resources such as CPU, memory, and disk are now displayed in a graphical resource card. This change is visible when onboarding a new node, on the edge-node basic info page and when viewing a hardware model in the marketplace. 
    • Marketplace models now allow omitting cpu/mem/disk resource details, enabling creation of generic models. 
  • The top-level menu item 'Cluster Instances' has been renamed to 'Cluster Orchestration' to better reflect its purpose.

Fixes (resolutions to customer reported bugs):

  • You can disable two factor authentication (2FA) using a time-based one-time password (TOTP).
  • When configuring a Network with ‘DHCP=manual’, the option for specifying a network-range was offered. This was erroneous and has been removed. This does not affect Network Instances where a range is supported. 
  • Under certain conditions, the Jobs status and end-date may have been incorrect. This has been corrected.
