Incompatible Changes in Cloudera Data Science Workbench 1.6.0

Cloudera Data Science Workbench 1.6.0 no longer supports some of the software and components supported in previous releases.

SLES 12 SP2, SP3 are not supported with Cloudera Data Science Workbench 1.6.0
SLES 12 SP2 and SP3 have reached the end of general support with SUSE and will not be supported with Cloudera Data Science Workbench 1.6.0 (and higher).
GPU Setup Changes
  • nvidia-docker1 is no longer supported.
  • The NVIDIA Library Path property is no longer available.

    Cloudera Data Science Workbench 1.6 ships with nvidia-docker2 installed by default. The path to the NVIDIA library volumes is also set automatically when GPUs are enabled. Review the revised GPU setup steps in Enabling Cloudera Data Science Workbench to use GPUs.

The CDSW_PUBLIC_PORT environment variable has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use CDSW_APP_PORT or CDSW_READONLY_PORT environment variables instead.
