v1.5.0

Bug fix: Timeout on startup

Occasionally/often running hermit up would result in a Timeout exception while waiting for the SSH tunnel to be established. This should now be fixed. The timeout was a result of some of the setup taking a variable amount of time, but there was a hardcoded timeout. hermit has been changed to monitor those potentially slow steps (ie: checking the filesystem, pulling the docker image) and report the output instead of assuming they should finish in a few minutes.

Bug fix: Resumed machines shutdown unexpectedly

It was reported that after a few minutes of resuming a suspended machine, the machine would shutdown entirely and need to be restarted via hermit down && hermit up. This was due to a race condition in the suspension process, which should be addressed now.

New feature: locally attached SSD volumes

This version now adds support for using locally attached SSD volumes for /tmp storage. The latency of locally attached volumes is much much lower than any other volume type, and so worth using if doing a lot of disk i/o. See the --local-ssd-count description in hermit --help for more information.

Release 1.4.0

• bug fix: Addressed problem which arose if user had an existing ssh config file which did not end with a new line.
• Added support for /tmp being stored on a locally attached SDD
• Added user name to description of created resources (service account, volume, VM) to make the ownership easier to identify.
