Remote Block Storage — available in beta

Scalable block storage can be added to servers without replacing or installing local disks. More in Remote Block Storage.

  • create, attach, resize, disable, and delete volumes via Customer Portal, Public API, Terraform, and Kubernetes (RBS CSI driver)
  • currently available in AMS7; volumes can be used from other locations, but IOPS and bandwidth depend on network latency
  • volumes can be resized and temporarily disabled without deletion

Note: this is a beta release. For best performance, use RBS with servers in the same datacenter (AMS7).

Managed Kubernetes — pod limit increased to 250 per node

New clusters support up to 250 pods per worker node, up from 110. The Pod CIDR per node has been widened to /23 to accommodate the higher pod count.

Note: applies to new clusters only. Existing clusters and nodes added to existing clusters are unaffected. No action required.

ImprovedManaged Kubernetes

iPXE boot — available for EBM servers

EBM servers can boot from a custom iPXE script over the network on every start, without going through the standard OS installer. More in Public API.

  • two modes available: public iPXE boot (via public network interface) and private iPXE boot (via private interface)
  • script URL and optional user_data string configurable without reprovisioning
  • MAC addresses and DNS server addresses automatically injected as variables before the script runs
  • activate at order time via the features field, or on an existing server via /features/public_ipxe_boot/activate or /features/private_ipxe_boot/activate
  • to update the script on a running server: deactivate, update ipxe_config via PUT, reactivate, and reboot
