Ticket Details

Missing but configured tenant tags breaking replication

Audience: Operator
Component: repli

Description

If a tag was configured to replicate as a platform tag but this tag was missing on the meshProject (what can happen, since some tags are optional), this leads to failed replication. Now missing tags are just ignored.

Retry mechanism for AWS cost collection

Audience: Customer, Partner
Component: kraken

Description

In the past the cost collection process on AWS for metering was vulnerable to occasional IO failures while downloading data. We introduced an improved retry mechanism that improves on robustness and performance in such cases.

Marketplace metering periodic counter implementation

Audience: User

Description

meshStack previously supported charging marketplace service instances based on the running time of the service instances. With this feature, you have the possibility of charging other resources consumed by service instances by exposing metrics from the service broker. We will support periodic counter metrics with this release, and other metrics such as gauges and sampling counters will be included in future releases. Periodic counters can be used to model any resource consumption that can be counted over a period.

How to use

One example use-case for the periodic counter would be an API Gateway Service where you would like to charge the service usage based on the number of API requests executed. Another use-case would be to charge the service usage based on an invoice. This is useful if the service is provided by a third party. Please refer to the Marketplace metering section in the public documentation for the details on how to extend your service broker to expose metrics.

Fix duplicate group suggestions in Project Access Control

Audience: Customer
Component: release-note

Description

It could be the case that duplicate meshCustomerUserGroups were suggested within the drop-down during the project creation access control. Now, each meshCustomerUserGroup will be included one time.

Restrict landing zones to meshObject API use only

Audience: Partner

Description

It is now possible to restrict a landing zone to be used only by meshObject API users. This means that Customer Admins are prohibited from creating a new Tenant in the meshPanel using the given landing zone. The landing zone will also not be visible for Customers.

How to use

Please keep in mind that this functionality requires an additional authority on the API user. However, we have already enabled this for now for existing meshObject API users. Marking a landing zone as restricted is possible in the meshPanel in the Landing Zone creation/edit screen for Partners.

Multiple members of a group can now approve role requests

Audience: User
Component: release-note

Description

Previously only one user from a meshCustomerUserGroup was able to approve a binding request. Now every user who is assigned to a meshCustomerUserGroup with role Customer Admin or Customer Owner can approve binding requests.

Display Payment Method status

Audience: Customer, Partner
Component: releasenotes

Description

There is a new screen in the partner administration area that lists all payment methods for the partner and its managed customers. For each payment method that has a limit defined, a progress bar is shown indicating to which degree the available budget has been consumed so far. Payment methods can be filtered by several criteria. The payment method screens in the customer account area have been reworked to match the new functionality as well.

Reporting period always goes until end of month

Audience: User

Description

In the tenant usage reports, the end date for the current reporting period was previously changed incrementally by hour. As an example, if you looked at the report during the month you would have seen that the report is for a period starting from the beginning of the month until the current time. This has been changed so that you will always see the end date of the full reporting period.

Reduces memory consumption during GCP cost item collection

Audience: Operator
Component: billing

Description

Fixes a condition responsible for excessive RAM usage during GCP cost item collection and therefore could cause an out of memory condition preventing the cost item collection.

Fixes spelling error in Project Access Control

Audience: Customer

Description

The table in the Project Access Control showed 'User Group', which included single users as well. Therefore it is renamed to 'Users/Groups'.
