Changelog

Developing functions is now much easier with our local development framework for Go and Python.

We have added an anti-spam policy for our customers to be able to use the Transactional Email (TEM) service. Find out about Transactional Email's anti spam policy

Some customers experienced slowness issues in fr-par over the last few weeks. The problem is now resolved and latency has been divided by 3 starting Feb, 24th around 4:30 PM. We continue to work on further updates to provide you with the best Object Storage performance.

Scaleway Load Balancers now provide the ability to create routes based on the value of incoming requests' Host HTTP headers.

Routes are used when a Load Balancer has multiple backends, to choose which of them to forward traffic to. There are now two types of routes:

• SNI routes: the only type we previously supported. They use the SNI value provided during the TLS handshake. This route type is suitable for TCP backends when TLS is enabled on the Load Balancer.
• Host routes: this new route type uses the value of the Host header in the incoming HTTP request. It is perfect for HTTP backends when you need to host several services behind your Load Balancer.

The console user interface manages everything for you and configures the route type automatically based on the frontend and backend you use. The API still lets you configure the route type but make sure you update your automation tools, as from June 1st we won't support the use of SNI routes with HTTP backends anymore.

Scaleway’s Secret Manager is a service that allows you to store and manage sensitive information, such as API keys, usernames, passwords, and security certificates in a secure and centralized location.

Secret Manager helps you manage the lifecycle of sensitive information:

Secrets are encrypted and stored in a central and secure way, while data access is secured by an authenticated API call to avoid hard-coded transmission and protect your Organization against security breaches.

Scaleway managed Kubernetes products now support the latest minor versions 1.25 and 1.26. Patch versions 1.24.8 and 1.24.9 have also been released. Find more details in our version support policy.

Kubernetes clusters in the Amsterdam region can create node pools with PLAY2 Development Instances or PRO2 General Purpose Instances from the AMS-1 Availability Zone.

All new pools created in Scaleway Kubernetes clusters now use Containerd as their default runtime.

We recommend you migrate node pools to a supported CRI. You can find more details about migration policies in our version support policy page.

From k8s version 1.25 onwards, all new clusters created in Scaleway Kubernetes will either be with cilium or calico as CNI.
To benefit from the newest minor versions, we recommend you recreate your clusters on one of the supported CNIs. Find more details on our migration policies here.

Buckets deleted from the console are only deleted after 24h. The UX now reflects if a bucket name is unavailable because it is taken by a bucket whose deletion is pending.

In addition to PAR-1 and PAR-2, the Elastic Metal Lithium range is now available in Amsterdam (AMS-1).

Kubernetes 1.20 is no longer supported on our Kubernetes products starting January 15th. Clusters in this specific version will automatically be upgraded to 1.21 on February 15th, 2023.

We also recommend you use the Serverless Functions dashboards in the Scaleway Cockpit to monitor all your metrics and logs and access advanced features (ordering, filtering...)

• Transactional Email now supports the following attachment types: calendar format (text/ics), (application/ics), and CSV files.

• The API documentation for Transactional Email is now live. Check it out!

• The new Transactional Email sending domain scw-tem.cloud is now available. If you are a new client, you can use this sending domain by default. If you were using the previous sending domain, you can configure a new SPF record with scw-tem.cloud and delete the old SPF record.

• Emails returned with error code 452 (recipient's mailbox is full) will be deleted with no further attempts made to resend.

• A minimum number of characters is now required in an email to avoid it going to spam. The subject and the body of the email must respectively contain at least 6 and 10 characters.

The new generation of PRO2 General Purpose Instances are now available in all Availability Zones, including AMS-1.

Grafana has been updated from 8.4.1 to 9.3.1. You can now enjoy one of the latest versions of Grafana to visualize all of your dashboards.

Managed Database for Redis™ is now available in the Availability Zone pl-waw-2!

HTTP/2 offers significant improvements on HTTP/1.1 in terms of both performance and security. HTTP/2 is now supported both at the frontend and the backend of Scaleway Load Balancers when TLS is enabled. No configuration is required to start using it. HTTP/2 is now enabled by default in all HTTP frontends, and backends with TLS configured and will automatically be used when supported by the client or backend server.

HTTP/3 is the next generation of HTTP protocol, built on top of QUIC. HTTP/3 represents a big step forward for Internet performance and security. As this is a very new protocol, you have to enable HTTP/3 support if you wish to use it with a Scaleway Load Balancer. HTTP/3 is currently only supported at the frontend.

Find out how to set up your Load Balancers for HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.

A new version of our Grafana-as-a-Service platform is now available with increased performance. The feature is accessible to all users in public beta.

You can now monitor all your Object Storage buckets in Observability.

The managed dashboard gives you an overview on the following metrics:

• Total number of objects
• Total numbers of parts

The "cold start" delay observed when performing an infrequent query to your Grafana dashboards into your Cockpit has been fixed.

You can now monitor your Serverless Functions logs and metrics in Scaleway's Observability solution.

A PHP 8.2 runtime is now available in beta for Serverless Functions.

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is now available to manage users and applications' access to objects and buckets. In each Scaleway Project, you can now give permissions to create, read, edit and/or delete object and buckets.

You can find a list of the new Object Storage permission sets in the IAM permission sets documentation page.

You can now monitor your buckets' usage metrics with Scaleway's Observability solution.

Load Balancers now let you explicitly configure encryption at the backend. You can enable TLS for connections to servers in a given backend and select the port number without being restricted to 443. The new "Verify Certificate" setting lets you specify whether the Load Balancer should check the server's certificate before establishing the connection.
You can use these settings to configure SSL bridging, having the Load Balancer terminate encrypted connections at the frontend, decrypt traffic, and re-encrypt it when forwarding it to backend servers.

You can now monitor your Serverless Containers logs and metrics in Scaleway's Observability solution.

A dark mode is now available on the console.

Projects can be created, managed and deleted from the CLI, Terraform and other developer tools maintained by Scaleway.

IAM must be used to generate an API key with the permissions to manage Projects.

Find out more on the Managing projects using Scaleway APIs documentation page.

IAM allows you to share access to the management of your Scaleway resources, in a controlled and secure manner.

You can now create and manage policies to give fine-grained access rights to Scaleway users, applications and groups. API keys can be attached to a user or an application and inherit their rights.

IAM features are available though Console, CLI and Terraform.

For Organizations created before December 5th, IAM can be activated by the Owner of the Organization on the console. Accounts created since December 5th 2022 have IAM activated by default.

Find out more in our dedicated IAM documentation.
