New in Together GPU Clusters: Reliability and control for production GPU clusters
Jul 15, 2026

Summary
Introduced passive health checks to detect failures during active workloads, complementing existing active checks. Implemented auto node repair with human-in-the-loop approval for actions like reboot, reprovision, failover, and remove. Upgraded the Slurm-on-Kubernetes stack (Slinky 2.0) with self-healing worker daemons, no zombie processes, durable job accounting, reliable process cleanup, and accurate GPU state after reschedules. Enhanced operational control with a new cluster details view (health, usage, event timeline), external OIDC for Kubernetes RBAC, and startup scripts for cluster customization at boot, job start, and job end.
