Support for Nvidia RTX Pro on AWS G7e instances
February 17, 2026
Anyscale now supports G7e instance types on AWS clouds backed by VMs or EKS. These instances use Nvidia RTX Pro GPUs. See Compute configuration on Anyscale and pricing details for supported machine types.
Anyscale operator configuration for SYS_PTRACE
February 11, 2026
Process tracing (potential breaking change): Starting with Anyscale operator version 1.4.0, SYS_PTRACE is enabled by default for all Ray containers for profiling Ray processes and viewing actor flamegraphs and stack traces. If your cluster disallows SYS_PTRACE, pod creation will fail and disrupt workloads when autoscaling adds pods. Set workloads.enableProcessTracing: false in your Helm values to disable. See Workload features.
Anyscale operator for Kubernetes version 1.4.0 released
February 11, 2026
Anyscale has released version 1.4.0 of the Anyscale operator for Kubernetes. For release details, see the Anyscale operator GitHub page.
Changes in 1.4.0:
- AWS credential mount: Specify the S3 addressing style via the AWS credential mount; the setting applies to the operator and all workloads. See AWS credential mounting.
- Kueue: Fixes for pods being recreated while waiting in the LocalQueue with multiple regions in the compute config, and for pods stuck in terminating (force-delete requires permissions to delete Kueue Workload CRs).
- Other: Workload name label sanitization for invalid label values; fix for service token validation and header-based service version canary with the Gateway API.

Restrict collaborator permissions on container images

Organization owners can now restrict permissions on container images for collaborators. This feature is in beta release and you must request access. Use new roles to prevent users from creating images or to deny deploying clusters with Anyscale base images. See Container image roles.

February 6, 2026
A new version of the Anyscale CLI and SDK is now available. See Version 0.26.84 release notes.
New directories excluded from Anyscale working directories
February 4, 2026
Anyscale now excludes the following directories when uploading files in the working_dir for Ray workloads: .git, .venv, venv, and __pycache__. Set RAY_OVERRIDE_RUNTIME_ENV_DEFAULT_EXCLUDES='' to include all directories. This change establishes parity between Anyscale and Ray default behaviors.
Update cloud default system storage to use enhanced CORS
February 4, 2026
Anyscale has released a new CLI command to update the default system storage container configured for an Anyscale cloud to enhance CORS support. Anyscale uses these settings for an optimized file viewer experience. New clouds deployed with anyscale cloud setup use this setting by default. Run anyscale cloud update-storage-cors --name <cloud-name> to update storage for your cloud.
