Hello all,
I just pushed code to the ElastiCluster "master" branch that allows
turning off upgrading OS packages when the cluster is started.
It should have two main uses:
1. speeding up cluster setup (at the cost of having slightly out-of-date
software), and
2. allowing "reproducible cluster builds":
- build a prototype cluster
- snapshot one node per type
- build another cluster using the snapshots and "upgrade_packages=no"
However, this new feature needs testing! I have not tested it
thoroughly and I'm asking for help: I would be grateful if you could try
to spin up a cluster with "upgrade_packages=no" and tell me if it breaks
things.
How to turn off package upgrades? Just add the line
`global_var_upgrade_packages=no` to the `[setup/...]` section of your
cluster. For instance::
[setup/test]
# ... everything as usual here, plus:
global_var_upgrade_packages=no
Thanks!
Ciao,
R
