Changes#

  • Thanks to boot image optimization, a database cluster is created almost 1 minute faster (the deployment time depends on the selected node configuration).

  • Info on allocated virtual processors (vCPU) and RAM for an instance can be displayed in the respective columns of the instance table under the Instances section.

Fixed#

  • The newly added columns are displayed in a predefined order.

  • We fixed a bug by counting the number of Kubernetes instances and worker nodes in placement groups.

Fixed#

  • If an instance type is absent from billing, then the Error connecting to server message in the Instances section is no longer displayed.

Changes#

  • Instance templates can now be created without stopping a VM. When creating a template, snapshots of all volumes attached to the instance (except for CD-ROM) are created. This ensures data consistency at the volume level: snapshots of all VM volumes are taken at the same time and all the data written to the volumes are saved. Progress of each snapshot creation process is displayed on the respective page (in percent).

  • K2 Cloud now supports high-availability VPN connections. In this mode, two tunnels are created, and if one fails, traffic goes through the other (in normal operation, both tunnels are active). To improve high-availability tunnels are terminated in different Availability Zones. Each tunnel can be assigned its own options. The high-availability mode is only available for ipsec.1 VPN connections.

  • Now, K2 Cloud supports a database cluster with an arbitrator. The cluster arbitrator instance does not store or process data, so a minimum of resources will suffice. Configuration with the cluster arbitrator is available for MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. To enable it, check the Use arbitrator box at the instance configuration step when creating a database cluster.

  • When creating a Kubernetes cluster, you can choose Elastic IP addresses for the API server and Ingress controller, if needed. To do this, the Elastic IP pool must have free addresses.

Fixed#

  • On the template page, the volume table displays the ID and description of the cd-rom image. The description is now a link to the respective snapshot.

  • The network interface table can be sorted by the Private IP and Elastic IP columns.
