We’re excited to announce Determined 0.27.1! Here are the highlights:

New Features

• CLI: Added new --db-snapshot flag for the det deploy aws up subcommand that allows starting RDS DB instances with a pre-existing snapshot. This flag is currently only usable with the simple-rds deployment type.

Improvements

• Notebooks: The Jupyter notebook file browser (ContentManager) will no longer be locked down to work_dir, and it’ll have the entire / filesystem visible. work_dir will stay the default starting directory. That way, if you want to work outside of work_dir, you’re free to do just by using the file browser normally (no need to relaunch JupyterLab )

• Helm: Added support for downloading checkpoints when using shared_fs. Added a mountToServer value under checkpointStorage. By default, this parameter is set to false, preserving the current behavior. However, when it’s set to true and the storage type is shared_fs, the shared directory will be mounted on the server, allowing checkpoint.download() to work with shared_fs on Determined starting from version 0.27.0 and later.
