- Breaking changes
- Removed v1 operator. If you want to use MPIJob v1, you can use the training-operator.
- Support for suspending semantics. Third party controllers can leverage the suspend field to implement queuing and preemption for an MPIJob.
- Support for the coscheduling plugins of the scheduler-plugins.
- The operator supports multi-architecture (amd64, aarch64, and ppc64le).
- Bug fixes
- Fix support for elastic Horovod.
- Scalability improvements
- Worker start up no longer issues requests to kube-apiserver.
- Dropped kubectl-delivery init container, reducing stress on kube-apiserver.
- Support for Intel MPI.
- Support for
runPolicy
(ttlSecondsAfterFinish
,activeDeadlineSeconds
,backoffLimit
) by using a k8s Job for the launcher. - Samples for plain MPI applications.
- Production readiness improvements:
- Increased coverage throughout unit, integration and E2E tests.
- More robust API validation.
- Revisited v2beta1 MPIJob API.
- Using fully-qualified label names, in consistency with other kubeflow operators.
- Added support for RH OCP4.1 and RH OCP4.2
- Added additional installation methods
- Using kustomize and kubeflow/manifests
- Using Helm Chart

- Added default ephemeral storage for init container
- Overwrite NVIDIA env vars to avoid using GPUs on launcher
- Added health check and callbacks around various leader election phases
- Honor user-specified worker command
- Exposed main container name as a configurable field
- Added RunPolicy to MPIJobSpec that reuses kubeflow/common spec
- Allow to specify the name of the gang scheduler and priority for pod group
- Added error log when pod spec does not have any containers
- Switched to use distroless images
- Refactored the kubectl-delivery to improve the launcher performance
- Added Prometheus metrics for job monitoring
- Added experimental version of v1 MPIJob controller and APIs

- Added a blog post for an introduction to MPI Operator and its industry adoption
- Added a CPU-only example
- Added licenses used by the dependencies
- Added default resource requirements for init container
- Merged multiple deployment configuration files into a single YAML file
- Switched to use
JobStatus
from kubeflow/common - Launcher and workers are now created together
- Switch Docker files and examples to use
v1alpha2
MPI Operator.
- Add v1alpha2 version of the MPI Operator with more consistent API spec with other Kubeflow operators
- Support
ActiveDeadlineSeconds
inMPIJobSpec

- Remove
launcherOnMaster
field
