Container image
Containers are lightweight, portable execution environments that wrap server application software in a filesystem that includes everything it needs to run. Container applications run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Both eliminate the need for you to install and operate your own container orchestration software by managing and scheduling containers on a scalable cluster of virtual machines.
Version release notes
0.18.20
The update includes all the features and bug fixes from version 0.18.20.
Python 3.13 support
Following a recent Python 3.13Â release on October 7, 2024, dstack now supports python: 3.13 in run configurations. python: 3.8 is still supported but deprecated.
Note: the dstack package itself does not yet work on Python 3.13 due to some limitations in dependencies. We're looking into supporting it as well.
Custom backend tags
You can now define custom tags that dstack will assign to all cloud resources it creates including instances and volumes. The tags are defined in the backend configuration:
type: aws tags: company_department: finance company_project: dstack company_user: victor creds: type: defaultCustom tags are supported for AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Improved support of AWS private subnets
Previously, when configuring an AWS backend to use private subnets (public_ips: false), dstack would require a NAT Gateway. Now dstack supports more networking setups that provide outbound internet traffic including NAT Gateway, Transit Gateway, and VPC Peering Connection.
New required permissions
- dstack now sets labels on GCP volumes which requires a compute.disks.setLabels permission.
Deprecations
- python: 3.8 in run configurations is deprecated.
