Cloud 66 changelog cloud66.com

Today we are rolling out the first phase of our new Application Health Check system. This new system is based on checking the health of your application's HTTP endpoints from different locations around the world. From today, when you raise a support ticket on the site, we check your application's HTTP endpoint from 5 different locations (US East, US West, Netherlands, Australia and Japan) and include that information on the ticket.

We have bigger plans for Application Health Checks and can't wait to share them with you soon.

We are pleased to announce the Beta release of component tag propagation to cloud providers. This allows you to more easily identify and link components across different platforms. At the moment the components that support this feature are cloud servers and load balancers. For a list of the cloud providers that support this feature, and additional information, please see our Tagging components help documentation.

Tag propagation is available to our Beta Program members. If you would like to join our Beta Program, head to your Account page and check the box for Beta Program.

For our Rails/Rack users, in case you missed it earlier this week, Ruby v2.7.2 is now available. For more information, see the official release notes.

We have just released support for user-defined Kubernetes labels and annotions on Maestro stacks. We use the tags key on your service.yml to determine your Kubernetes Resource labels, and the new annotations key on your service.yml to determine your Kubernetes Resource annotations. For examples and more detail please see the Service Tags and Annotations help documentation

All Cloud 66 customers can now track progress of their support tickets, as well as see a list of their previous support tickets under the Support link on the dashboard. As your ticket moves around within Cloud 66 (1st Line support, 2nd line escalation, etc) it will be updated on this page so you can keep track of its progress.

To see this page, click on the Support link on top of your dashboard.

Today I am excited to announce general availability of Service Accounts. Service Accounts are like team members that cannot login to the UI. They can be used to setup automation or notifications that are not bound to a real person.

If you use notifications like Slack for your Cloud 66 applications, you probably want to limit them to a single notificaiotn per event. More importantly, you would like your notifications and API integrations not to be linked to a real person, so they won't break when they leave your team. Service Accounts are perfect for that: Setup a Service Account and use them to enable notifications, CX (Toolbelt) or API integrations as you would with a real team member.

You can find more information about Service Accounts on our blog

There are some scenarios in which your Kubernetes cluster could become unavailable. The most common cause of this issue is a cluster with a single master that runs out of memory or gets locked into scheduling services that are utilizing all of its available resources. This can cause processes to be killed, the cluster to become unreachable, and, in the worst cases, corrupt the master. The fastest way to resolve this is to repair your cluster, essentially reinitializing it as new.

Now, if you're faced with this scenario, you can run the repair operation yourself! We've replaced our deploy-with-options overlay with a side-drawer component which gives us some more space to work with. Take a look at our help documentation for more on this new option!

We now support scaling down (deletion) of multiple maestro worker nodes at once. We already support this for Rails/Rack servers, so this update brings Maestro stacks in-line. This feature is particularly useful for users with larger clusters who are looking to resize or rotate the servers!

As announced two weeks ago, we have now changed the default Node version that is installed on newly created Rails/Rack servers to v10.x. Don't hesitate to drop us a message on slack or email if you have any questions or feedback about this!

We've just added two more regions to Linode (Sydney and Mumbai). If you were waiting for these, wait no longer!
