Seqera Cloud v25.3.0_cycle18

Seqera Cloud

General updates and improvements​

  • Standardize date and time formatting across the Platform interface, including a tooltip with the non-localized date.
  • Added new DRAGEN instance types in AWS compute environments: f2.6xlarge, f2.12xlarge,f2.48xlarge.

Seqera Enterprise v25.2

Seqera Enterprise

Seqera Platform Enterprise version 25.2 introduces a series of enhancements to improve security, observability, and flexibility.

New features and improvements​

Single instance cloud compute environments​

Single instance compute environments create a single compute instance to execute Nextflow pipelines or run Studio sessions with a local executor. The new AWS Cloud and Google Cloud compute environments are optimized for small to medium pipelines and Studios, enabling faster startup time, simplified configuration, and fewer cloud provider dependencies. To activate these, add awscloud-platform and googlecloud-platform to the TOWER_ENABLE_PLATFORMS environment variable.

Studios​

Compute changes​
  • Studios now supports ARM64 architecture and Spot instances in AWS Cloud and Google Cloud compute environments.
  • Nested containerization is now supported in AWS Cloud compute environments:
    • VS Code Studios include a Docker-in-Docker configuration method, enabling you to run Nextflow directly.
    • The remaining Studios types support Docker via manual installation.
  • Studios now supports path-based routing to enable fixed domains for Studio sessions. This removes the need for a wildcard SSL/TLS certificate.
  • You can now add per-session user-defined environment variables when creating a new Studio.

Data Explorer​

  • Platform CLI now supports file upload and download operations.
  • You can now upload multiple files and folders to your cloud bucket simultaneously.
  • New labels display read-only and public buckets.

Platform interface changes​

  • The Platform top navigation has been replaced with a sidebar for improved navigation.
  • The pipeline run details page has been refreshed and includes these improvements:
    • A progress bar provides a clear, dynamic view of pipeline execution in real time.
    • A dedicated Run info tab with a centralized view of run metadata and status details.
    • Improved navigation tabs for Tasks, Logs, Metrics, and Containers.
    • The Tasks tab is now the default for successful runs.

Fusion​

  • Added Fusion Snapshots (beta) support in AWS Batch compute environments, enabling Fusion to automatically restore jobs interrupted by AWS Spot instance reclamation. See Fusion Snapshots for more information.
  • Enabled Fusion licensing. A Fusion license sets a specific quota for Fusion use, measured by total pipeline throughput per month (defined by Nextflow’s I/O metrics). See Fusion licensing for more information.
  • Added a Platform Fusion usage dashboard.

Audit logs​

  • GxP compliance: Expanded audit log events.
  • Support for IPv6 addresses in audit log UI and API.
  • Audit log API improvements:
    • Pagination improvements for enhanced performance. If you use the audit log admin API in your internal processes, contact us to mitigate any breaking changes to your script.
    • Time range filtering support.

General​

  • Bumped Nextflow launcher to 25.04.x.
  • Added Conda helper text to the Conda packages field in Add new Studio > General config.
  • Added AuditLog for dataset operations.
  • Added support for providing launch form values via URL query parameters.
  • Added support for markdown rendering for Nextflow object field help_text and description properties.
  • Added Aborted task counts to run details.
  • Pipeline revision form field formatting in Platform interface.
  • Improved pipeline schema validation error messaging in launch form.
  • Upgraded Azure Batch Ubuntu image version to 22.04.
  • Upgraded AWS SDK dependencies to v2.
  • Added support for array type parameters in the Launch form.
  • Implemented support for multiple extension dataset parameters in the input form.
  • Renamed Pipeline work directory to Work directory in compute environment forms.
  • Updated on-hover copy for Metrics tab data widgets.
  • Added a confirmation dialogue to prevent accidental termination of uploads and downloads by navigating away from Data Explorer.
  • Datasets with the same name can be stored within the same organization.
  • Added P5, P5e, P6-b200, I7i, C8gd, M8gd and R8gd EC2 families that support NVMe disk. Learn more on the AWS What's New page.
  • Renamed data_set_ prefixed events to dataset_ for consistency with Dataset naming.
  • Added indexes to improve performance on some potentially slow queries.
  • Added OpenAPI tags to endpoints.
  • Enabled revision control during fresh pipeline launch.

Bug fixes​

  • Fixed pipeline secrets not being deleted in the context of a personal workspace.
  • Fixed missing notifications on tasks in Submitted state.
  • Fixed content mime types causing overly restrictive dataset parameters.
  • Fixed cost reporting metrics failing to render for runs launched with Nextflow CLI.
  • Updated navigation bar link to Dashboard instead of Launchpad.
  • Fixed empty state condition for containers in the task details screen when using a version of Nextflow that didn’t have containerMeta support.
  • Added support for the ? character in Data Explorer path and file names.
  • Improvement to launch parameters handling after pipeline revision or config profiles are changed. Existing parameters are now overridden during a revision or config profile change.
  • Fixed an issue where parameters were not updating on relaunch and removed/modified parameters were persisting.
  • Improved error message handling for requests that have RequestOptions.responseType explicitly specified.
  • Fixed discrepancy between Wall time and total run duration.
  • Fixed an issue when editing a pipeline, the logo changed to the organization logo.
  • Resolved Google VM propagate instance creation errors.

General warnings​

Removed maxSpotattempts setting from Platform​

This setting is now handled by Nextflow. See the Nextflow reference documentation for more information.

Legacy Seqera container image registry access ended June 1, 2025​

You can no longer pull Seqera Enterprise container images from the legacy Seqera container registries (AWS ECR, GCP AR, Azure CR). All Seqera Enterprise images must be retrieved via the cr.seqera.io container registry. The installation and configuration templates provided for both Docker Compose and Kubernetes installations already reference the cr.seqera.io container image URLs. If you have not yet transitioned to this registry, contact Support to request credentials and for any further assistance.

See Legacy Seqera container image registries for more information on the deprecated Seqera AWS ECR registry.

Upgrade steps​

note
  • Make a backup of your Platform database prior to upgrade.
  • If you are upgrading from a version prior to 25.1, complete all intermediate major version upgrades before upgrading to 25.2.
  • Ensure that no pipelines are in a running state during this upgrade as active run data may be lost.

See Upgrade deployment for installation guidance.
