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).
The AWS GovCloud (US) Region is an opt-in Labs Feature and not supported yet:
- The
us-gov-west-1
region 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 add-on with the AWS GovCloud Region (US) 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
- IFAWS-191 - Fix unpleasant visuals of 'Maximum Duration' widget/help
