We have released the Service Fabric for Windows Server (Standalone) package version 5.6, which is a rollup of all the changes from the Runtime 5.6.204 & SDK 2.6.204 release and Runtime 5.6.210 & SDK 2.6.210 refresh , and includes Standalone specific updates. This version also includes additional bug fixes which will be rolled out to Azure soon. Look out for an announcement in the coming weeks that contains more details on bug fixes in that release.

Here are the download links for the Standalone package , and the (runtime) cab file .

A few highlights that are specific to Standalone in this release:

Add/Remove Nodes in a Standalone cluster

We are adding functionality for adding and removing nodes in production clusters. The package contains the "AddNode.ps1" script to add nodes of a specific NodeType to your cluster, making the requisite changes to your cluster configuration automatically. To remove nodes, the node description has to be removed from the cluster configuration, and the list of nodes being removed should be added to "FabricSettings" in the following manner:
{
"name": "NodesToBeRemoved",
"value": "<node name(s)>"
}

Reliability Level

For standalone clusters, the reliability level can now be upgraded via a configuration upgrade. Modify the "ReliabilityLevel" parameter in your cluster configuration and initiate an upgrade using "Start-ServiceFabricClusterConfigurationUpgrade -ClusterConfigPath <Path to modified JSON>." The current supported reliability levels are Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.

E nabled Add-on Features: Repair Manager and DNS Service

This release includes the ability to add the Repair Manager and DNS Service to your cluster, as part of the overall runtime changes. The Repair Manager is required for the Patch Orchestration Services, and the DNS Service is required for enabling Container related features.



Be sure to read through the full release notes for a complete list of new features and bug fixes.



Cheers,

The Service Fabric Team
