Compute Engine

The kernel dist-tag that supports the Rocky Linux Optimized and Accelerator images on Compute Engine is being updated from elX_ycld_next to elX_y_ciq as part of the consolidation of CIQ's kernel trees. There are no changes to Secure Boot or GPG signing keys.

For example, 6.12.0-55.32.1.el10_0cld_next.2.1 to 6.12.0-55.39.1.el10_0_ciq.2.1, where the cld_next tag is swapped with ciq.

This change affects the Rocky Linux 8, 9, and 10 optimized and accelerator images in an upcoming kernel update over the next month. The major version 8 and 9 kernels now include FIPS 140-3 patches as part of CIQ's ongoing FIPS 140-3 validation efforts for Rocky Linux. These patches have no effect if FIPS mode is not enabled. There are no code changes to the major version 10 kernel.

The kernel source tree is available at CIQ's kernel-src-tree GitHub repository.

Generally available: You can use future reservations to request to reserve capacity starting on a specific date up to one year in the future. For more information, see About future reservation requests.

Compute Engine

Generally available: You can create and use Flex-start VMs. Flex-start VMs are virtual machine (VM) instances that can run for up to seven days, and that use the flex-start provisioning model. This model provisions resources from a secure pool of capacity, increasing your chances of obtaining high-demand resources like GPUs. These features make Flex-start VMs suitable for short-duration workloads that can start at any time, such as the following:

Small model pre-training
Model fine-tuning
High performance computing (HPC) simulation
Batch inference

You can create standalone Flex-start VMs, or add Flex-start VMs all at once to a managed instance group (MIG) by using resize requests. Based on the machine type that your Flex-start VMs use, you get discounts for vCPUs, memory, and any attached GPUs.

For more information, see About Flex-start VMs.
