You can stop a PaaS service if no longer needed and start it whenever necessary. You can also restart the service if an error occurs, and synchronize the service status with those of instances where it is running.
Metrics for the Backup service have been added. Using alarms, you can set up notifications to be triggered once the number of recovery points or backup jobs with a certain status exceeds the preset critical threshold of a metric.
Metrics for the Direct Connect service have been added. Using alarms, you can configure notifications to be triggered once the parameters of the Direct Connect virtual interface or connection exceed the preset critical threshold of a metric.
The protected resource, connection, and virtual interface pages now feature the Metrics and Alarms tabs showing the graphs of monitored metrics and the data on alarms set up for the resource, respectively.

The StopService method stops a PaaS service.
The StartService method starts a PaaS service.
The RestartService method restarts a PaaS service.
The SynchronizeServiceStatus method synchronizes a PaaS service with instances that it runs on.

The volume wizard shows the value of the Throughput parameter.
The Show threshold toggle is now displayed in the Metrics tab on the volume page, as well as on the VolumeReadBytes, VolumeWriteBytes, VolumeReadOps, and VolumeWriteOps pages. If the toggle is switched on, the metric graph shows the threshold line.
The load balancer rule editing wizard shows the action values that were previously set.

A new st3 volume type is available. Its baseline throughput grows with the volume size. Moreover, for small-size volumes (up to 128 GiB), it can be temporarily exceeded. The st3 volumes use the credit pool model for temporary exceeding the baseline. Credits accumulate during idle periods and are spent under load. Exceeding the baseline is not billed.

A new cloud region, ru-spb, has been launched in a Tier III data center in St. Petersburg. This enables the creation of a geographically distributed infrastructure and comprehensive Disaster Recovery solutions. The ru-spb region supports all cloud services, including Virtual machines with st3 volumes, PaaS, Object storage, and Kubernetes clusters. Global services, such as IAM and DNSaaS, operate seamlessly.
