• Blue Waters notice: Container software disabled on Blue Waters

  Created by: gbauer 2018-05-02 14:28:53 (Channels: systemnotices)

  This notice affects Blue Waters users relying on the container technologies of Shifter or Singularity. 

  Due to a recently announced security vulnerability related to container software, Shifter and Singularity container software have been disabled immediately to address the issue. We took this action to eliminate the risk of potential compromise of Blue Waters and related systems.  As this is a new issue, there is no ETA for a fix at this time, but we are pursuing a resolution and will notify further when container services can be restored. We are happy to work with you about possible mitigations for your work, but such mitigations will be specific to your workflows and use.

  We apologize for the inconvenience. Please check the Blue Waters the System News page for updates.

  Please contact help+bw@ncsa.illinois.edu with your comments or questions.
