Jepsen 0.2.5 is now available: https://github.com/jepsen-io/jepsen/releases/tag/v0.2.5

A small change to the ethics policy (https://jepsen.io/ethics): for environmental reasons, Jepsen no longer performs analyses of proof-of-work or proof-of-space systems.

Jepsen 0.2.4 is now available. New SSH backend options, performance improvements, and a local filesystem cache to speed up DB setup. Happy testing! https://github.com/jepsen-io/jepsen/releases/tag/0.2.4

Giving a talk next week with the ScyllaDB folks, talking about Jepsen, transactional analysis, and all the cool bugs we found in Scylla. https://go.scylladb.com/wbn-jepsen-test-registration.html?utm_channel=Webinar&utm_so[%E2%80%A6]Partner&utm_medium=KK&utm_campaign=WBN-2021-01-28-Jepsen-Test

New #Jepsen report: we worked with @ScyllaDB to identify and fix cases of LWT split-brain in healthy clusters due to improper hashing and membership changes, as well as documentation improvements. Notably, Scylla no longer claims non-LWT isolation! https://jepsen.io/analyses/scylla-4.2-rc3

Here's the slides for the most recent Jepsen talk, presented at #YOW20: https://aphyr.com/media/talks/2020/jepsen-13.pdf

Happy to announce Jepsen 0.2.1 is now available: https://github.com/jepsen-io/jepsen/releases/tag/0.2.1

Jepsen's AWS Marketplace product (launches a whole Jepsen cluster in a few clicks) has been updated for Debian Buster, and now includes additional dependencies you'll want for running tests based on Elle. Happy testing!

https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/Jepsen-LLC-Jepsen/B01LZ7Y7U0

Put a bunch of work into the Jepsen docker-compose setup, and I'm pleased to report it now gives you a full Debian Buster cluster with keys and dependencies out of the box--should be good for running the latest tests. Hopefully this helps!
