Rocks Cluster Distribution 6.1.1 發布，機群解決方案
Rocks是一份完整的光盤機群解決方案，它面向x86及IA64的Red Hat Linux COTS機群。組建一套Rocks cluster并不需要任何機群方面的經歷，實際上，機群架構師將能找到一條靈活的并且標題化的方式來重新設計整個軟件棧，而這對大多數用戶而言則適當地隱藏了。盡管Rocks包括了在任何機群軟件結構中都應指望的工具（PBS、Maui、GM支持、Ganglia等），它的安裝簡易性則是獨一無二的。
Philip Papadopoulos has announced the release of Rocks Cluster Distribution 6.1.1, a CentOS-based distribution for building real and virtual clusters: "The
latest update of Rocks, code name 'Sand Boa', is now released. Sand Boa
is a 64-bit only release and is based upon CentOS 6.5. The
Rocks-supplied OS rolls have all updates applied as of April 14, 2014.
This includes updates for the OpenSSL Heartbleed vulnerability. Support
for ZFS has been updated to version 0.6.2. Condor is now the HTCondor
roll is at release 8.0.6. Also included is a new roll called fingerprint
that dynamically determines dependencies of compiled code on both Rocks
and non-Rocks systems. Enhancements and bug fixes: rocks add host
verifies hostname is not an appliance name; fix reverse path filtering
on centos 6.x...." See the release announcement and release notes for more details. Download (MD5) the "jumbo" DVDs containing the OS and all available "rolls": area51...6.1.1.x86_64.disk1.iso (3,270MB).
