The DAOS team would like to announce the release of DAOS Version 2.4.2.
This release includes many new features. In particular, with DAOS Version 2.6 the “Metadata-on-SSD” codepath that supports DAOS servers without Optane Persistent Memory is now fully supported in production environments (it was a Technology Preview in DAOS Version 2.4). Also included is the production-level version of the libpil4dfs POSIX interception library, which enables performance comparable to the native DAOS DFS interface for POSIX applications, for both data and metadata.
For a full list of new and enhanced features in DAOS Version 2.6, please refer to the release notes.
There are several resources available for the release:
