TrueNAS SCALE Bluefin Spawns its First Update

TrueNAS SCALE is open source storage that enables hyperconvergence and scale-out storage. Supporting file, block, objects, and applications, TrueNAS SCALE Bluefin 22.12.1 is now available after a well-deployed release in December. We would like to thank the 20,000+ early adopters that have provided their time, systems, and feedback. Improvement highlights include:

  • SMB Share Proxy provides a redirect mechanism for making many TrueNAS SMB Shares available in a common namespace presented by one TrueNAS system, reducing configuration effort.
  • Kubernetes Pass-through is provided with an Enterprise license and enables external orchestrators to control the Kubernetes API functionality within a node.
  • 250 Bug Fixes (most are minor) with several having a significant impact on  system reliability. After more community testing, we expect to recommend SCALE users to upgrade.

The iX team is already working on the second update to Bluefin with a target release at the end of March.

Tech Tip #120

 

When preparing for clustering, a good practice is to back up a SCALE system configuration before creating a cluster. Backups allow users to quickly restore the system configuration to the initial working state if something goes wrong.
