# v1.15.0
### Breaking changes:

- Remove `ubuntu1404` and `debian` OS types.
- Ubuntu 14.04 is now in LTS and has not been fully maintained since
April 2019.
- `debian` os_type alias referred to Ubuntu 14.04 on all clouds.
- Ubuntu 16.04 is now the default.
- Remove the `Runtime` metric for Horovod.
- Change `windows201X` os_types to `windows201X_core` and `windows201X_base`
to `windows201X_desktop`.
- Windows Server Core is now referred to as `windows201X_core`.
- This is recommended for most benchmarks, because PKB does not
benefit from GUIs except for debugging.
- Windows Server with Desktop Experience is now referred to as
`windows201X_desktop`.
- See
[the microsoft documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/server-core/what-is-server-core)
for more information on the differences.
- Remove deprecated versionless `windows` os_type.
- You will have to specify `windows2012_core`.
- Removed deprecated versionless `rhel` os_type.
- You will have to specify `rhel7` on most providers or `amazonlinux1` on
AWS.
- Deprecate Amazon Linux 1 `amazonlinux1` os_type.
- AL1 is EOL on 2021-01-01:
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/update-on-amazon-linux-ami-end-of-life/
at which point it will be removed from PKB.
- You can use the recommended `amazonlinux2` instead.
- Remove `ping_also_run_using_external_ip` from ping benchmark
- You should now use the `ip_addresses` flag to specify whether to test
with internal IPs, external IPs or both. This brings ping into alignment
with how other network benchmarks function.
- The flag `--emr-release-label` is now deprecated in favor of setting
`dpb_service.version`.
- In EMR DPB benchmarks setting: `dpb_service.version` is now Required.

### New features:

- Add infiniband support in nccl benchmark.
- Added AwsVpcS3Endpoint for VPC connectivity to S3.
- Add `--tcp_max_receive_buffer` flag to set net.ipv4.tcp_rmem sysctl value
- Add `--tcp_max_send_buffer` flag to set net.ipv4.tcp_wmem sysctl value
- Add `--rmem_max` flag to set net.core.rmem_max sysctl value
- Add `--wmem_max` flag to set net.core.wmem_max sysctl value
- Add `--os_type=debian9` support for AWS and Azure Providers.
- Add `--os_type=debian10` support for GCP, AWS and Azure Providers.
- Add function to tune NCCL parameters.
- Add Coremark demo scripts at PerfKitBenchmarker/tools/demos/coremark.
- Add RHEL 8 to AWS, Azure and GCP providers
- Add CentOS 8 to Azure and GCP providers
- Add BERT models in Horovod benchmark
- Add timeline support in Horovod benchmark
- Add GceNfsService to support Filestore on GCP.
- Add maven package and use it in ycsb.
- Add replication cluster support to bigtable.
- Add AWS and Azure VPC peering support
- Add Snowflake Warehouse support
- Add large_scale_boot benchmark for linux and windows.
- Add Python client library for GCS alongside Boto connection library.
- Enabled OpenMPI version selection
- Adds support for running network benchmarks across a VPN.
- Includes GCP implementation with static routes.
- Add a directory for PKB tutorials.
- Add two new tutorials: one for beginners and one for network dashboard.
- Update Boto client library for S3 to boto3.
- Add MultiStreamDelete to Object Storage API Tests.
- Add GCE Placement Group support. By default, placement groups are not
created.
- Add ICMP ping support for Azure using EXTERNAL ip address.

### Enhancements:

- Update Specsfs2014 to use the SP2 update rather than SP1.
- Update Multichase version to enable AARCH64 build support.
- Added flag `--cassandra_maven_repo_url` to use a maven repo when building
cassandra, for example
https://maven-central.storage-download.googleapis.com/maven2
- Optimize Azure Files settings.
- Migrate EKS cluster creation to use eksctl (requires a local eksctl).
- Deprecate `--eks_zones` in favor of setting
`container_cluster.vm_spec.AWS.zone`.
- Make `container_cluster.vm_spec.AWS.zone` accept a region or comma
separated list of zones.
- Delete the obsolete `--eks-verify-ssl`
- Separate NVIDIA driver functionality from CUDA toolkit
- Added --runspec_tar option to SpecCPU (specifying installation tarball).
- Added generic support for using `PreprovisionedData`
- Added the `preprovision_ignore_checksum` flag that can be used when
downloading content that is not registered in `PREPROVISIONED_DATA`
- Allow `_InstallData` in virtual_machine.py to catch the `NotImplemented`
error, in order to proceed to downloading resources via their URL
- Implemented `PreprovisionedData` in the Maven package and make Maven more
robust
- Added `maven_mirror_url` to specify a custom Maven mirror
- Added sha256 checksums for a few Maven versions
- Made retrieving JAVA_HOME more robust
- Fixed a java lib issue on CentOS
- Add OpenFOAM support for timing individual commands.
- Added --gce_subnet_name to specify existing GCE subnet to use.
- Run a Full Sweep (Create/Stat/Delete) on Mdtest when not dropping caches.
- Added `version` field to `dpb_service` configs. This corresponds to image
version in Google Cloud Dataproc and release label in AWS EMR.
- Support delete timing on provider implementations of object_storage_api
script
- Enable support for AWS's m6g family.
- Add SPEC CPU 2017 flag allowing to build but not run a suite.
- Enable support for specifying newer versions of GCC than what the OS
supports by default.
- Sort AWS AMIs by CreationDate instead of name to get latest image.
- Add Spec17 configs compatible with v1.1.
- Better support for pytyping.
- Make BaseVirtualMachine inherit from BaseOsMixin.
- Add connect_via_internal_ip flag for testing windows tests over the internal
IP, similar to the ssh_via_internal_ip flag for linux.
- Deprecate `--ssh_via_internal_ip` in favor of this new flag.

### Bug fixes and maintenance updates:

- AWSBaseVirtualMachine subclasses require IMAGE_OWNER and IMAGE_NAME_FILTER.
Fixes issue where some windows 2012 AMIs were selected from the wrong
project.
- Retry `yum install` commands to bypass transient issues.
- Azure defaults to no placement group created.
- Add Sql Server support to managed relational DB
- Remove `py27` tox tests.
- Update AKS cluster creation service principle handling, which was broken
- Update glibc version to 2.31.
- Propagate Azure credentials to AKS when running as a service principal. This
is consistent with propagating VM credentials in azure_credentials.py.
- This can be disabled by setting
`--bootstrap_azure_service_principal=False`.
- Registered AWS VPC quota failures as quota failures.
- Do not try to use the GCP service account that is running PKB inside a GKE
cluster if it obviously belongs to the wrong project.
- Upgrade psutil version to 5.6.6 from 3.0.0.
- Change default ior script to use 1GB sizes rather than 4GB.
- Remove nfs_gce_ip_range from filestore options.
- Upgrade YCSB to version 0.17.0.
- Do not pass a default `--boot-disk-size` or `--boot-disk-type` to GCE.
- This allows GCE to set the preferred options for both.
- Fixes an issue where CentOS and RHEL images grew beyond the default 10GB
(to 20GB).
- The current defaults leave other Linux OSes at 10GB and Windows OSes at
50GB.
- Explicitly setting Netperf to Python 3.
- Update PKB cloud datastore ycsb benchmark:
- change private_keyfile_dir from a constant value to a FLAG
- delete all db entries as part of Cleanup
- Remove 'default' keyword from AWS and Azure boot_disk_size
- Check ycsb proportion explicitly against none.
- Fix issue in calculating Geometric means.
- Add support to PKB cloud datastore ycsb benchmark to use GCS files for
datastore keyfiles.
- Add SSH keys to dpb EMR clusters for debuggability.
- Security groups of the clusters will have to be manually edited to allow
SSH.
- Cast sample values to floats, ensuring they conform to the specification
- Improve database deletion performance of Cloud datastore YCSB benchmark.
- After installing the python package tries to set default version of python
if not set.
- Add check in Prepare stage of PKB cloud datastore ycsb benchmark to ensure
db is empty before running.
- Categorize k8s cluster creation errors better.
- Improve database deletion performance of Cloud datastore YCSB benchmark.
- Change deletion batch size of Cloud datastore YCSB benchmark.
