|
|
||
| ### Introduction | ||
| - **Tyler Wright:** | ||
| - Welcomed participants to the bi-monthly SIG Clients meeting. | ||
| - Focus of the meeting was on updates and developments related to clients being built on the Akash Network. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Updates on Clients | ||
| - **Tyler Wright:** | ||
| - Provided an update on Cloudmos, now rebranded as Console, which continues to be the primary deployment tool on Akash. | ||
| - Mentioned the upcoming Cosmos SDK 47 upgrade and its potential impact on both Terraform providers and Go client libraries. | ||
| - **Terraform Providers and Go Libraries:** | ||
| - Work is already planned to address compatibility and functionality with the SDK upgrade. | ||
| - Detailed discussions on these updates will be deferred to future meetings. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Changes in Meeting Cadence | ||
| - **Tyler Wright:** | ||
| - Announced a change in the meeting frequency from monthly to bi-monthly. | ||
| - **Reason:** The availability of updates from other sources, including the steering committee and product/engineering roadmap, reduced the need for monthly meetings. | ||
| - Emphasized the importance of the SIG Clients Discord channel as a primary communication and update platform. | ||
| - Encouraged members to share ideas for improving the user experience or adding new features to Console via Discord. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Console Team Updates | ||
|
|
||
| - **Tyler Wright:** | ||
| - Transitioned the discussion to the Console team for updates on recent work and future plans. | ||
|
|
||
| #### Updates from Maxime Beauchamp: | ||
| - **Managed Wallets on Console:** | ||
| - Significant progress has been made toward enabling managed wallets on Console. | ||
| - The feature is designed to abstract away the complexity of managing on-chain wallets, making the platform more accessible to users. | ||
| - **MVP (Minimum Viable Product):** | ||
| - Near completion, with plans to release it to production shortly. | ||
| - **Bug Fixes:** | ||
| - The team has been actively addressing bugs reported by users. | ||
| - Focus has been on improving the overall user experience, especially as the platform sees increased usage. | ||
|
|
||
| #### Updates from Anil Murty: | ||
| - **Trial Wallet Implementation:** | ||
| - Focused on the implementation of managed wallets and the integration of credit card payments on Console. | ||
| - **Trial Wallet:** | ||
| - Allows users to experience Console without needing a wallet or login. | ||
| - Currently in beta testing within Overclock Labs, with plans to extend testing to a broader audience soon. | ||
| - Potential use in an upcoming hackathon in India as part of the extended testing phase. | ||
| - **Shared Packages:** | ||
| - The codebase has been reorganized to separate shared packages. | ||
| - **Impact:** | ||
| - This restructuring allows for parallel development of different components, such as the new user interface for the provider console. | ||
| - **Persistent Storage Tracking:** | ||
| - Persistent storage is now being tracked in Console's statistics, in addition to ephemeral storage. | ||
| - **Benefit:** | ||
| - Enables more accurate monitoring and reporting of storage usage across providers. | ||
| - **Exponential Backoff Algorithm Update:** | ||
| - The algorithm has been updated to improve the user experience by ensuring new providers appear online more reliably and quickly. | ||
| - **CICD Progress:** | ||
| - Significant progress has been made in enhancing the CICD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) pipeline. | ||
| - **Features:** | ||
| - Users will be able to connect their repositories (GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab). | ||
| - Automatic building and deployment of applications. | ||
| - Triggering redeployments based on new pull requests. | ||
|
