Highlights of this release:
Support for the AWS GovCloud (US) Region (experimental)
The AWS GovCloud (US) Region is an API compatible, but otherwise isolated AWS region designed to allow US government agencies and customers to move sensitive workloads into the cloud by addressing their specific regulatory and compliance requirements).
Support for regions in the AWS GovCloud (US) partition is an opt-in Labs Feature:
The AWS GovCloud (US) partition provides the following regions: AWS GovCloud (US-East) – us-gov-east-1, AWS GovCloud (US) – us-gov-west-1
This partition requires dedicated credentials, see How do Government agencies, contractors and customers access the AWS GovCloud (US) Region?: "Customers cannot sign up for AWS GovCloud (US) through the traditional, online AWS sign up process. AWS must engage with the customer directly to sign an agreement specific to the AWS GovCloud (US) Region. [...]"
Due to being a non US company, we are not currently in the position to test this app with the AWS GovCloud (US) Region directly. However, the API is compatible in general and we have done our best to address the documented differences - please get in touch if things do not work as intended, we are very interested to collaborate on the necessary adjustments.
This release addresses the following issues:
Improvements
IFAWS-199 - Enable 'AWS GovCloud (US)' support as a labs feature
Bugs
IFAWS-216 - Fix exception on Add-on initialization when using a MySQL backend
IFAWS-213 - Fix exception on connector save when using a PostgreSQL backend
