EPAM Cloud Orchestrator version 2.1.99 is released

EPAM Orchestrator Framework version 2.1.99 was released on July 15, 2017. In the new version, you will find both new features and enhancements of the existing functionality. The new Orchestrator comes with a new platform service - Telemetry, enhanced authentication mechanisms in Google Cloud and additional features of the Audit and Monitoring screens. For those interested in the Orchestrator open-sourcing opportunities, we have added new functions to our Python SDK and rolled out a sample installing the "alternative CLI" with Python tools. And, the last but not the least, we have good news for users of Personal Projects - quotas have been revised!

This topic contains the following sections:

New Features and Improvements

  • Personal Project quotas have been revised and increased which gives our users better opportunities to learn Cloud and to test their skills and ideas
  • We continue developing the Python SDK, and now present the methodology of installing Maestro CLI using only the Python tools. We also announce a crowdsourcing initiative to contribute to the development of the Python SDK
  • Migration to OpenStack continues according to the plan, and soon the EPAM-US region will be decommissioned. At the same time, new capacities are available in EPAM-US2, an OpenStack-based region supporting shapes up to 5XL
  • The Cloud Management Console functionality has been enhanced by adding new options to the Audit screen and Monitoring screen
  • A new platform service, Telemetry as a Service, has been implemented. Using this service, you can collect performance metrics from your virtual instances for further analysis
  • In the hybridization area, the Cloud team has implemented support of IAM user accounts for Google Cloud Platform. As an additional security measure, multi-factor authentication is mandatory for all GCP IAM users

The EPAM Cloud Security Policy and Terms and Conditions have been updated to reflect changes in the features supported for AWS and Google Cloud Platform
