Services

Rolling deployments

This update introduces rolling deployments, which help avoid downtime when deploying new versions of your services.

When you apply an updated service configuration, dstack will gradually replace old service replicas with new ones. You can track the progress in the dstack apply output — the deployment number will be lower for old replicas and higher for new ones.

> dstack apply -f my-service.dstack.yml

Active run my-service already exists. Detected configuration changes that can be updated in-place: ['image', 'env', 'commands']

   replica=1 job=0 deployment=1  aws (us-west-2)  cpu=2 mem=1GB disk=100GB (spot)  $0.0026  running      1 min ago

Currently, the following service configuration properties can be updated using rolling deployments: resources, volumes, image, user, privileged, entrypoint, python, nvcc, single_branch, env, shell, and commands.

Future releases will allow updating more properties and deploying new git repo commits.

Clusters

Updated default Docker images

If you don't specify a custom image in the run configuration, dstack uses its default images. These images have been improved for cluster environments and now include mpirun and NCCL tests. Additionally, if you are running on AWS EFA-capable instances, dstack will now automatically select an image with the appropriate EFA drivers. See our new AWS EFA guide for more details.

Server

Health metrics

The dstack server now exports some operational Prometheus metrics that allow to monitor its health. If you are running your own production-grade dstack server installation, refer to the metrics docs for details.
