Highlight: Billing/Payments Overview

We highlight the New New Billing/Payment Overview with Total Funds available, Compute Balance and Quota allocation for the accounts. The "Total Available Funds" show the funds that are available to the account at this time from all the payment methods (e.g. Credit). The "Total Transaction Volume" shows the total volume of transactions executed using all available payment methods. The colors of the transactions denote their type: i.e. Service Fee, Compute Allocation, Storage Quota.

‍

Highlight: Compound Time Limit for Restartable Jobs

We now allow for Compound Time Limit with a cumulative wall time never exceeding a certain value no matter how many restarts for restartable jobs (when using saving queues, such as SF, SFplus, for instance) and allow for non-restartable jobs as well. The dialog below demonstrates how to enable/disable the functionality.

‍

Highlight: Cloud Availability per Queue

During peak hours it can happen that there is no availability for a particular instance type per cloud provider. Previously we had no recollection of that in our user interface sometimes leading to confusion. We have added "Capacity" column to the Clusters List and it can alert the users about "DEGRADED" (when there is not enough resources in at least one of the availability zones per datacenter used) or "UNAVAILABLE" (when there are no resources in any of the availability zones) queues.
