What’s New in Alluxio 2.8: Enhanced S3 API Functionality, Enterprise-grade Security and Data Migration With Better Usability and Low Cost

The Alluxio 2.8 version focuses on the S3 API, enterprise-grade security, scalability and observability in data migration. Enhanced S3 API makes managing Alluxio easier than ever. Features such as encryption at rest and policy-driven data management further improve Alluxio’s functionality to support enterprise customers. 

What’s New in Alluxio 2.6: Better Performance for AI/ML Workloads plus Increased Operating Metrics Visibility

Alluxio 2.6 significantly improves the performance of data-intensive AI/ML workloads across any storage, and also improves the general maintainability and visibility of Alluxio clusters, especially for large-scale deployments. We have taken the feedback and contributions from the community and introduced features which simplify deployment, introduce new data management capabilities, optimize performance, and provide enhanced visibility into system behavior.

What’s new in Alluxio 2.5

Alluxio 2.5 focuses on improving interface support to broaden the set of data driven applications which can benefit from data orchestration. The POSIX and S3 client interfaces have greatly improved in performance and functionality as a result of the widespread usage and demand from AI/ML workloads and system administration needs. Alluxio is rapidly evolving to meet the needs of enterprises that are deploying it as a key component of their AI/ML stacks.

2.0 is here! Embrace silos, orchestrate data, accelerate innovation!

Here in New York, at the AWS Summit, we are super excited to announce that Alluxio 2.0 is here, our most major release since the Alluxio launch. A couple months ago, we released 2.0 Preview – which included some of the capabilities, but 2.0 now includes even more, to continue building on to our data orchestration approach for the cloud.

Announcing Alluxio 2.0 Preview – enabling hyper-scale data workloads in the cloud

We are thrilled and excited to announce the availability of Alluxio 2.0 Preview Release – the largest open source release with the most new features and improvements since the creation of the project. It is now available for download.
While Alluxio already enabled data locality and data accessibility for many big data workloads in the cloud, there was still innovation needed in key areas.

Announcing Alluxio v1.8.0

We are excited to announce the release of Alluxio Enterprise Edition (AEE) and Community Edition (ACE) and Alluxio Open Source (AOS) v1.8.0. Click HERE to download! This release brings features and enhancements in Alluxio to simplify cloud adoption (and hybrid cloud, and migration from HDFS to object storage) for analytics and machine learning and improve useability.
To help make it easier to get started using Alluxio, we have also collected a set of resources into a starter kit. The second item is a simple tutorial for how to mount a remote AWS S3 bucket and accelerate data access.

Announcing the Release of Alluxio Enterprise Edition and Community Edition v1.7.0

We are excited to announce the release of Alluxio Enterprise Edition (AEE) and Community Edition (ACE) v1.7.0. This release brings enhanced caching policies, further ecosystem integrations, and significant usability improvements. One highlight is the Alluxio FUSE API which provides users with the ability to interact with Alluxio through a local filesystem mount. Alluxio FUSE is particularly useful for integrating with deep learning frameworks such as Tensorflow.
