Public API — network objects include first_ip and gateway

Networking can now be configured on EBM, SBM, and Kubernetes bare metal nodes without manually computing addresses.

  • first_ip and gateway added to the network object returned by the EBM, SBM server, and Kubernetes bare metal node network endpoints
  • gateway is null for routed networks and for /32 (IPv4) or /128 (IPv6) networks

Kubernetes worker nodes — add/remove blocked below version 1.27

Worker nodes can no longer be added to or removed from clusters running Kubernetes versions earlier than 1.27. The Add node and Remove nodes controls are disabled for these clusters in the Customer Portal.

Managed Kubernetes — clusters can be created without worker nodes

A Kubernetes cluster can now be created without any worker nodes and isn't billed until worker nodes are added.

The cluster becomes Active as soon as the control plane is ready, allowing worker nodes to be added later.

Billing and Identity & Access navigation — restructured

Finding invoices, statements, and access-control settings now takes fewer clicks and uses clearer labels.

  • Invoice Groups moved under Invoices as a separate tab
  • Top Up Balance is now available as a button on the Payment Methods page
  • Account Statements, Payment Details, Identity and Access, and Management renamed to Statements, Payment Methods, Identity & Access, and Access Control respectively

Subscriptions — new Type and Status fields

Subscription records now show more clearly how each address relates to an account, reducing the risk of notifications going to the wrong place.

  • Subscriptions now have a Type: Direct (exact email match with an account member) or Additional (linked to the account, email can differ)
  • a Direct subscription is created automatically when a new member is invited, with the subscription role chosen at invitation time
  • a Direct subscription is removed automatically if the member is revoked from the account, and cannot be deleted manually
  • a subscription's secondary email is now a separate Additional subscription instead of a field on the same record
  • the Email field can no longer be edited after a subscription is created

Note: subscription status will support a confirmation/unsubscribe flow in a future update.

Scalable Bare Metal — now covered by IAM

SBM resources can now be restricted per team and role, instead of being visible and manageable by every account member.

Granular IAM permissions now gate SBM ordering, server actions (power, reinstall, cancel, VNC), and resource-group assignment on the Portal.

Public API — rack unit and L2 segment membership added to EBM servers

EBM server details now include rack placement and L2 segment membership without additional lookups.

  • rack unit data is now included for hosts placed in a customer's private rack
  • GET /v1/hosts/dedicated_servers/{id}/l2_segments — new endpoint returning the L2 segments a host is a member of, or an empty array if none

L2 Segments page — errors resolved for segments with many members

Opening the L2 Segments page and managing members no longer fails intermittently for segments with a large number of members.

SBM order emails — iDRAC credentials no longer included

Scalable Bare Metal order-completion emails no longer include iDRAC credentials, which were never intended to be provided for SBM.

The CSV attachment sent after an SBM order completes no longer contains OOB IP, login, or password columns; Enterprise Bare Metal order emails are unaffected.
