I am super excited to announce that I have started a new role as “Head of Open Source Community” at @CtrlIQ!
I’m diving into @rocky_linux, @SingularityApp, @OpenELAorg, and Warewulf in the coming weeks to see where I can help.
If you see me lurking in your community, say hi :)
IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTICE:
NIST/NVD has classified CVE 2023-30549 as a HIGH risk which affects all versions of Singularity(CE).
Default installations of Apptainer >= 1.1.0 are safe thanks to its secure and unprivileged (rootless) execution model.

Our very own Dave Godlove putting on a clinic! Here's a quick snap of our recent onsite training of @SingularityApp with a CIQ customer. Awesome job Dave!!

SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT! All versions of Singularity and SUID-enabled Apptainer (< 1.1.8) increase the severity of issues like CVE-2022-1184 (which will NOT be fixed upstream by RHEL7 and compats).
This is why Apptainer no longer runs as SUID by default.

Did you know that you can easily use @graph_tool with @SingularityApp?
Singularity/Apptainer lets you run containers in HPC clusters *as a regular user*.
This means you do not have to ask your sysadmin to install software for you!
Easy instructions: git.skewed.de/count0/graph-t…
We seriously love being part of the @SingularityApp community project and the @linuxfoundation.
At @Supercomputing we were presented with multiple awards from @HPCwire, and here is part of that fantastic team receiving that award from Tom Tabor himself!
Thank you!
This is a great article on the trifecta of HPC software infrastructure: @rocky_linux, @SingularityApp, and Warewulf.
Couple that with @OpenHPCcomm, you have a complete turnkey HPC solution completely supported by @CtrlIQ!
LIVE: our very own David Godlove is doing some demos right now of Apptainer and Singularity container builds. Everyone is welcome, come and join the party!

Been playing for a bit and starting to really like @SingularityApp.
Similar functionality to Docker / Podman et al, but neater conceptual model.
The user can simply treat the container as an app, which has only one dependency: the Apptainer container system
So the design team at @CtrlIQ came up with a logo update for Apptainer! Let us know what you think.
