On-prem AMD GPU support

dstack now supports SSH fleets with AMD GPUs. Hosts should be pre-installed with Docker and AMDGPU-DKMS kernel driver (e.g. via native package manager or AMDGPU installer).

Elastic Fabric Adapter support

dstack now automatically enables AWS EFA if it is supported by the instance type, no extra configuration needed. The following EFA-enabled instance types are supported: p5.48xlarge, p4d.24xlarge, g4dn.12xlarge, g4dn.16xlarge, g4dn.8xlarge, g4dn.metal, g5.12xlarge, g5.16xlarge, g5.24xlarge, g5.48xlarge, g5.8xlarge, g6.12xlarge, g6.16xlarge, g6.24xlarge, g6.48xlarge, g6.8xlarge, gr6.8xlarge.

Improved apply plan

Previously, dstack apply showed a plan only for run configurations. Now it shows a plan for all configuration types including fleets, volumes, and gateways. Here's a fleet plan showing configuration parameters and the offers that will be tried for provisioning:

✗ dstack apply -f .dstack/confs/fleet.yaml

New versioning policy

Starting with this release, dstack adopts a new versioning policy to provide better server and client backward compatibility and improve the upgrading experience. dstack continues to follow semver versioning scheme ({major}.{minor}.{patch}) with the following principles:

  • The server backward compatibility is maintained across all minor and patch releases. The specific features can be removed but the removal is preceded with deprecation warnings for several minor releases. This means you can use older client versions with newer server versions.
  • The client backward compatibility is maintained across patch releases. A new minor release indicates that the release breaks client backward compatibility. This means you don't need to update the server when you update the client to a new patch release. Still, upgrading a client to a new minor version requires upgrading the server too.

Perviously, dstack never guaranteed client backward compatibility, so you had to always update the server when updating the client. The new versioning policy makes the client and server upgrading more flexible.

Note: The new policy only takes affect after both the clients and the server are upgraded to 0.18.16. The 0.18.15 server still won't work with newer clients.

dstack attach

The CLI gets a new dstack attach command that allows attaching to a run. It establishes the SSH tunnel, forwards ports, and streams run logs in real time:

 ✗ dstack attach silent-panther-1
Attached to run silent-panther-1 (replica=0 job=0)
Forwarded ports (local -> remote):
  - localhost:7860 -> 7860
To connect to the run via SSH, use `ssh silent-panther-1`.
Press Ctrl+C to detach...

This command is a replacement for dstack logs --attach with major improvements and bugfixes.

CloudWatch-related bugfixes

The releases includes several important bugfixes for CloudWatchLogStorage. We strongly recommend upgrading the dstack server if it's configured to store logs in CloudWatch.

Deprecations

  • dstack logs --attach is deprecated in favor of dstack attach and may be removed in the following minor releases.

Cluster placement groups

Instances of AWS cluster fleets are now provisioned into cluster placement groups for better connectivity. For example, when you create this fleet:

type: fleet
name: my-cluster-fleet
nodes: 4
placement: cluster
backends: [aws]

dstack will automatically create a cluster placement group and use it to provision the instances.

On-prem and VM-based fleets improvements

  • All available Nvidia driver capabilities are now requested by default, which makes it possible to run GPU workloads requiring OpenGL/Vulkan/RT/Video Codec SDK libraries. (#1714)
  • Automatic container cleanup. Previously, when the run completed, either successfully or due to an error, its container was not deleted, which led to ever-increasing storage consumption. Now, only the last stopped container is preserved and is available until the next run is completed. (#1706)

Major bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug where under some conditions logs wouldn't be uploaded to CloudWatch Logs due to size limits. (#1712)
  • Fixed a bug that prevented running services on on-prem instances. (#1716)

Changelog

  • Fix cli connection issue with TPU by @Bihan in #1705
  • Rename --default to --yes and no-default to --no in dstack config and dstack server by @peterschmidt85 in #1709
  • [CI] Fix shim/runner release versions by @un-def in #1704
  • Document run diagnostic logs by @r4victor in #1710

Multi-replica server deployment

Previously, the dstack server only supported deploying a single instance (replica). However, with 0.18.14, you can now deploy multiple replicas, enabling high availability and zero-downtime updates

Note

Multi-replica server deployment requires using Postgres instead of the default SQLite. To configure Postgres, set the DSTACK_DATABASE_URL environment variable.

Make sure to update to version 0.18.14 before configuring multiple replicas.

Major bug-fixes

  • [Bugfix] dstack init --git-identity doesn't accept backslashes in path on Windows by @un-def in #1686
  • [Bugfix] Use -tmpfs /dev/shm:rw,nosuid,nodev,exec,size=X instead of --shm-size=X @un-def in #1690
  • [Bugfix] dstack-shim is not updated when fleet is recreated by @un-def in #1698

Other

  • [Bugfix] Fix SSHAttach.reuse_ports_lock() when no grep matches by @un-def in #1700
  • [Bugfix] Fix logger exception on instance provisioning timeout by @un-def in #1697
  • [Internal] Add JobProvisioningData.base_backend by @r4victor in #1682
  • [Internal] Add Run.error by @r4victor in #1684
  • [Internal] Return server_version in /api/server/get_info by @r4victor in #1685

Windows

You can now use the CLI on Windows (WSL 2 is not required).

Ensure that Git and OpenSSH are installed via Git for Windows.

During installation, select Git from the command line and also from 3-rd party software
(or Use Git and optional Unix tools from the Command Prompt), and Use bundled OpenSSH checkboxes.

Spot policy

Previously, dev environments used the on-demand spot policy, while tasks and services used auto. With this update, we've changed the default spot policy to always be on-demand for all configurations. Users will now need to explicitly specify the spot policy if they want to use spot instances.

Troubleshooting

The documentation now includes a Troubleshooting guide with instructions on how to report issues.

AMD

With the latest update, you can now specify an AMD GPU under resources. Below is an example.

type: service
name: amd-service-tgi

image: ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:sha-a379d55-rocm
env:
  - HUGGING_FACE_HUB_TOKEN
  - MODEL_ID=meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct
  - TRUST_REMOTE_CODE=true
  - ROCM_USE_FLASH_ATTN_V2_TRITON=true
commands:
  - text-generation-launcher --port 8000
port: 8000

resources:
  gpu: MI300X
  disk: 150GB

spot_policy: auto

model:
  type: chat
  name: meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct
  format: openai

Note

AMD accelerators are currently supported only with the runpod backend. Support for on-prem fleets and more backends
is coming soon.

GPU vendors

The gpu property now accepts the vendor attribute, with supported values: nvidia, tpu, and amd.

Alternatively, you can also prefix the GPU name with the vendor name followed by a colon, for example: tpu:v2-8 or amd:192GB, etc. This change ensures consistency in GPU requirements configuration across vendors.

Encryption

dstack now supports encryption of sensitive data, such as backend credentials, user tokens, etc. Learn more on the reference page.

Storing logs in AWS CloudWatch

By default, the dstack server stores run logs in ~/.dstack/server/projects/<project name>/logs. To store logs in AWS CloudWatch, set the DSTACK_SERVER_CLOUDWATCH_LOG_GROUP environment variable.

Project manager role

With this update, it's now possible to assign any user as a project manager. This role grants permission to manage project users but does not allow management of backends or resources.

Default permissions

By default, all users can create and manage their own projects. If you want only global admins to create projects, add the following to ~/.dstack/server/config.yml:

default_permissions:
  allow_non_admins_create_projects: false
