🚀 What's New in CAIP after 24-PI6?​

24-PI6 (October 22, 2024 – January 13, 2025) improved CAIP build and scheduling reliability, extended Glue support, and marked CAIP Offboard v2's first LLM API release with authenticated model access.

🖥️ CAIP Offboard v1 / v1.5: Classic & Managed Kubeflow​

✨ New Features​

📓 Notebooks & Development​

The CAIP SDK added Python 3.10 support for Glue and let teams open a run directly in the web interface with a run alias. Cached Docker builds shortened repeat builds, while AWS public ECR Python base images avoided Docker Hub rate limits that could otherwise delay them.

Quick Links

🔀 Pipelines & Serving​

Glue and EMR components became compatible with CAIP SDK 3.7.1. EMR runs also linked directly to the Grafana Spark-on-EKS dashboard, helping teams move from a pipeline run to the operational information relevant to that workload.

🛠 Maintenance​

Cron scheduling validation was corrected, helping scheduled pipelines reject invalid expressions before they run.

📦 Repositories in This Release​

  • caip-sdk — Glue Python 3.10 support, web run access, cached builds, scheduling validation, and public ECR base images.
  • kubeflow-components — Glue and EMR compatibility plus Grafana dashboard links.
