Updated IAM setting required for Anyscale services on AWS​

August 11, 2025

Anyscale has updated the control plane for Anyscale clouds on AWS to stop using CloudFormation when deploying resources that support services. The new architecture requires a modification to the control plane IAM permissions for existing Anyscale clouds on AWS. You must complete this migration by February 11, 2026. See Update your IAM role for services on Anyscale clouds on AWS.

Task dashboard is now in beta​

August 11, 2025

Use the Anyscale task dashboard to view details about Anyscale tasks for your jobs and workspaces. The task dashboard supports millions of tasks and persists metrics after cluster termination. This feature is in beta release. See Anyscale task dashboard.

Nvidia B200 GPUs are now supported​

August 8, 2025

You can now select Nvidia B200 GPUs when configuring worker nodes on Anyscale. Anyscale clouds on AWS list these GPUs as P6 instances, while Anyscale clouds on Google Cloud lists them as A4 instances. See Compute configuration on Anyscale and pricing details for supported machine types.

July 2025​

Anyscale product release announcements for July 2025.

Auto-select worker nodes is now GA​

July 31, 2025

Support for auto-selecting worker nodes for your cluster is now generally available. When you enable this mode, Anyscale chooses worker instances based on configured accelerator types as well as availability and cost of cloud instances. See Auto-select worker nodes.

Support for Google Cloud Storage FUSE CSI driver​

July 30, 2025.

You can now use the Google Cloud Storage FUSE CSI driver to configure shared storage for clusters deployed from Anyscale on Kubernetes. To enable this behavior, set the following value in your cloud configuration:

file_storage:
  csi_ephemeral_volume_driver: "gcsfuse.csi.storage.gke.io"

Configure persistent volume claim for Anyscale on Kubernetes​

July 30, 2025.

You can now configure persistent volume claim (PVC) as shared storage for clusters deployed from Anyscale on Kubernetes. Anyscale attempts to bind pods to the PVC in same namespace as the Anyscale operator, but doesn't manage or configure the PVC. To enable this behavior, set the name of your PVC using the persistent_volume_claim field in your cloud configuration:

file_storage:
  persistent_volume_claim: "<name-of-persistent-volume-claim>"

Machine pool console is now in beta​

July 22, 2025

You can now view details about machine pools in your Anyscale organization from the Anyscale console. Details include total utilization, running workloads, available machines, and queued requests. This feature is in beta release. See Monitor and observe machine pools in the Anyscale console.

Support for EFA is GA​

July 18, 2025

Support for using Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) with Anyscale deployed on AWS is now generally available. Use EFA to accelerate network communications between GPU compute nodes. See Configure Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) support.

NFS is now optional for all Anyscale cloud deployments​

July 14, 2025

By default, Anyscale now uses the default cloud storage account configured during cloud deployment for shared storage. You can optionally enable NFS storage for your cloud deployment if you need to use NFS for shared storage. You must use Anyscale CLI version 0.26.42 or above. See Storage shared across nodes.

Support for uv on Anyscale is now in beta​

July 11, 2025

You can now use uv to run Ray scripts and manage dependencies throughout the development lifecycle on Anyscale. See Use uv to manage Python dependencies.

Edit containerfiles to build custom workspace images​

July 9, 2025

You can use containerfile syntax to edit and build the container image used to launch an Anyscale workspace. This provides additional flexibility and customization options for managing dependencies such as system packages during interactive workspace development. The feature is available as a beta release. See Iterate on workspace container images.

Use unique container images for each job in a job queue​

July 3, 2025

You can now define an image_uri for each job in a job queue. All images must use the same Ray version. When you specify an image_uri, you can't use other runtime environments in your job config or API calls. See Job queues.
