In addition to the Sandbox release, the team at OpenSLX somehow had time to also release an update to our Beta version of EaaSI in early July. The update focused on many improvements to backend components, including security of the system’s REST and SOAP interfaces, as well as overall performance improvements for emulator startup and import. Also included:, new features for sharing and exchange of software installation materials which we will iterate over the coming months as we finetune the functionality and integrate it into the new UI designs.
The release was made easier by the implementation of new update and installation procedures which should relieve OpenSLX from some of their troubleshooting duties. The team in Freiburg has done incredible work keeping up with our active Tech Talk message board, where the EaaSI node’s sys admins post questions, bug reports, and updates on their experience implementing the software.
