Ticket Details​

Show deactivated status for service brokers​

Audience: User
Component: panel

Description​

Deactivated service brokers will now be marked as such in the published service brokers overview.

Azure role name alias​

Audience: Operator
Component: replicator

Description​

It has already been possible to configure how managed Azure groups should be named and to use the name of the specific meshRole represented by that group. Now it's also possible to specify azure specific aliases for these role names which will be used when naming groups.

Tenant numbers of azure subscriptions/groups​

Audience: Operator

Description​

Projects can use running tenant numbers to identify them per assigned platform. Tenant numbers can be used when naming managed subscriptions and groups.

Fix AWS role replication for multi-role mapping​

Audience: Operator

Description​

Fixes a replication issue which could occur if you mapped multiple meshProject roles to a single AWS role. The problem could prevent successful project role replication.

Invitation of external user​

Audience: Customer
Component: meshfed

Description​

For some public cloud platforms also external users shall be invitable to meshProjects. External users are not available in the company user directory and can therefore not log in to meshPanel. But they will get access on the cloud platform directly. This makes e.g. sense in Azure, when you want to invite a Microsoft Support user to your subscription. This feature is disabled by default, but can be enabled for a meshStack installation.

Azure Group Names can be customized​

Audience: Operator

Description​

Platform Operator can now customize the generated Azure group names in the platform instance configuration. For detailed information about the available options please see the Azure platform documentation.

Improves AWS Access Stack handling in Landing Zone​

Audience: User, Operator

Description​

If the Access Stack fails to apply the AWS replication tries to remove and re-apply it again. This works automatically as long as the MeshstackAccountAccessRole owns all needed access rights for the Access Stack.

AWS Access Stack deploy retry improvements​

Audience: Operator

Description​

Under certain circumstances a failed AWS Access Stack deployment was not retried.

Tenant Service Broker​

Audience: User, Operator
Component: panel

Description​

Tenant-aware service broker are now supported! That means users of the meshMarketplace can select their meshTenants for services that support tenant bindings. These service brokers can then e.g. spin up certain resources within the tenant (e.g. an OnPrem Connect). They could also use the tenant information for e.g. a CI/CD service broker, who needs access to the actual tenants. More details about Tenant Service Broker can be found in the meshcloud documentation.

Adds customizable Azure Subscription Names​

Audience: Operator

Description​

The Azure subscription names can now be customized via the Azure Platform Instance config by an operator. You can use a format-string syntax. For more information please look into the meshStack Azure documentation.

GCP integration hits GA​

Audience: Partner, Operator

Description​

meshStack's GCP Integration is now officially generally available. Operators can head over over to the documentation to learn how to provide managed GCP projects for their organization with meshStack.

Project roles can be freely configured​

Audience: Operator
Component: deploy

Description​

User project roles (i.e. admin, user, ...) can now be freely configured, including the initally assigned role.
