Introducing: Bacalhau 1.6.0
Distributed Computing just got a whole lot easier to get started with
2024 is coming to an end, but the Bacalhau journey never ends! We’re immensely pleased to announce the release of Bacalhau 1.6.0 just in time for the holiday season!
With 1.6.0, we’ve focussed on making distributed computing as accessible and simple as possible. With simplified bootstrapping, enhanced security, and added improvements to the user experience, v1.6.0 makes it easier than ever to add security, reliability, and cost savings to your workloads.
Specifically, some of the biggest advancements are around just getting things going. Specifically:
Get Started Faster: We want to make it super easy to spin up Bacalhau networks in minutes, avoiding the complexity of infrastructure management and focusing on delivering results.
Simplify Your Workflow: An upgraded Web UI streamlines your data retrieval process by enabling direct job result downloads, while automatic orchestrator routing saves you time on setup and configuration.
Boost Your Security: Inter-node TLS encryption ensures that all data and workloads remain safe and confidential, allowing you to confidently run critical operations without risking exposure.
Improve Reliability and Scale Effortlessly: Re-engineered communication protocols and granular event visibility enhance network stability, making it easier to deploy Bacalhau wherever you need distributed compute resources.
