Main achievements
In addition to ongoing general maintenance and support of cardano environments, some highlights of SRE achievements for this quarter include:
All IOE cardano-parts supported node environments, including preview, preprod, and mainnet were upgraded to cardano-node release
10.5.1with various additional pre-release candidate versions tested.Changes required for the new tracing system to become the default tracing system have been largely implemented in cardano-node, including various scripts, nixos services, and OCI container updates. Similar changes supporting the new tracing system have been also implemented elsewhere, such as the iohk-nix configuration repo, blockperf monitoring tool, and nixos based cardano-parts node cluster tooling stack, allowing for the upcoming cardano-node
10.6.xrelease later this year to default to the new tracing system.With the exception of a few canary machine deployments, all IOE testnet and mainnet cardano-node infrastructure are now running using the new tracing system.
Cardano-node release binaries have been cleaned up and OCI containers now include the snapshot-converter binary.
Adawallet and the cardano-airgap image were feature upgraded to be compatible with operations required for the Midnight Glacier Airdrop, including cardano-signer signing and native token UTxO handling.
The devx-ci cluster has been expanded to include Oakhost Darwin build capacity.
