Major Features

Service Marketplace

We're excited to introduce our new Service Marketplace, bringing pre-configured services to streamline your deployment process. When creating a new service, you can now choose "Pre-configured" to access optimized templates that come with pre-filled settings.

What are pre-configured services?

  • Start with ready-to-use templates instead of blank configurations
  • Deploy single services or multi-service configurations
  • All settings are pre-filled with optimized values
  • Customize any pre-filled value to match your needs
  • Save time by avoiding manual configuration

Key benefits

  • Reduce configuration time
  • Avoid common configuration mistakes
  • Follow best practices automatically
  • Easily deploy complex multi-service setups

Persistent Shared Volumes

We're introducing Persistent Shared Volumes, a powerful new feature for managing data across your Instance Pool services. This major update brings significant improvements to volume management in your LayerOps environments.

Key Features

  • Share volumes across all services within an Instance Pool
  • Automatic backup to S3 bucket support
  • Data persistence guaranteed during instance replacements
  • Seamless integration with marketplace templates

Important Considerations

Services using Persistent Shared Volumes will be bound to their Instance Pool. This design choice ensures data consistency but may affect service portability across different Instance Pools.

When planning your architecture with Persistent Shared Volumes, consider the trade-off between data sharing capabilities and service mobility.

Check our documentation for detailed configuration guides and best practices for Persistent Shared Volumes.

Improvements

Enhanced Service Configuration

We've made several improvements to the service configuration experience:

  • Improved command and arguments handling in the service interface
  • Simplified template-based service creation

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed issues with volume type transitions between stateful and persistent volumes
  • Resolved backup configuration conflicts with shared volumes
  • Fixed service command input validation
  • Improved error handling for volume management operations
  • Fixed template handling with pre-configured volumes and backups
