Billing Usage and invoice improvements

September 14, 2023

Billing usage and a streamlined invoice are now available.

  • Billing Usage: real-time resource usage information is now available in Project → Usage → Billing. From there, you will find detailed information about each resource, when it was added to your account, and the cost accrued. The page also shows when your next invoice is due.

  • Preview upcoming invoices: When you go to Settings & Billing → Billing, you will find a list of all your projects, their current usage, and the date each project will be invoiced.

  • Invoice improvements: If you had servers that belonged to the same plan, your invoices would group these servers into a single line item. For improved visibility, each server now has its own line item in the invoice. This lets you see detailed usage for each compute resource right from invoices.

Improvements and Fixes on Latitude.sh

Improvements and fixes

July 19, 2023
  • Reserved instances self-serve: You can now create Reserved projects from the dashboard and API. This allows deploying reserved instances and resources without talking to our sales team. Use the `provisioning_type` attribute to create Reserved projects from the API.

  • Improved IP Addresses page: The IP Addresses page has been redesigned to show more information about the Management and Additional IPs assigned to your team. If you use the API, the `/ips` endpoint has been enriched with all the necessary data to make managing IPs easier.

  • Create server page: We have redesigned the create server page to make finding the perfect instance easier. You now select the instance before choosing the location you want it deployed. This avoids going through several locations to find the instance you want.

  • New API version now in beta: Version 2023-06-01 is now in beta. The new version removes deprecated attributes from the current version and introduces a new format for the `id` attribute. The new ID format is fully backward compatible with the old one. The new API version also improves complex endpoints such as `GET /plans`. To test the latest version, the `API-Version: 2023-06-01` on your request Header.

Out-of-band

Quickly access the serial console with Out-of-band

July 11, 2023

You can now access your server's Serial Console over SSH if it becomes unreachable over SSH. Out-of-band is the easiest method to start a recovery process for your instance.

Out-of-band is the equivalent of the Console feature found in most public cloud providers. Latitude.sh's Out-of-band feature runs in a secure, isolated environment, requires no agents or virtualization and is available in all locations for all instances.

Rescue Mode

Troubleshoot your servers with Rescue Mode

November 17, 2022

Misconfiguration and bad installs can cause you to get locked out of your server.
