Improvement

Improved Compatibility for Nested Virtualization with SLES 12

Some guest kernels on AWS AMIs using xz-compressed initial ramdisks (initrd) were failing to boot due to unsupported compression.

Users leveraging SLES 12-based AMIs can now boot nested environments seamlessly.

Improvement

Optimized Fulfillment Timeout for Spot Instances

Aggressive fulfillment timeouts were causing unnecessary pauses in spot instance usage, forcing a fallback to on-demand instances more often than needed.

Adjusted timeout parameters to strike a better balance, reducing interruptions and ensuring smoother operations, improved reliability and cost efficiency, particularly for high-frequency workloads.

Improvement

Updated Spot Advisor Service

The Spot Advisor service has been upgraded to deliver enhanced performance and compatibility with the latest features. The new service is now accessible over HTTPS at https://advisor.exostellar.io/v2

Known Issues

  • The product currently supports 64-bit applications. 32-bit applications are not supported at this time.

  • For EKS users, AWS does not reflect the change of instances on the AWS Management Console after the EKS nodes are migrated.
