New Warewulf UI and Open Source API

April 24th, 2025 at 11:00am PT

A few weeks back a PR was committed in the open source project that delivered a REST API to Warewulf, allowing it to better integrate into DevOps pipelines. And this week, the CIQ team announced a Tech Preview of a new admin UI for Warewulf, that provides better observability and control of your cluster.

In this session, we will walk through the API and UI and provide a demo of the new capabilities.

A new API and Web UI for Warewulf

Warewulf streamlines the deployment of large Linux clusters and provides a command-line interface (CLI) to manageOS images, configurations, and provisioning of compute within a cluster. While the CLI is complete and powerful, integration with other tooling and observability has been a challenge.
