Object Storage Standard is now available across 14 locations in APAC, EMEA and North America, giving you more flexibility to deploy storage closer to your workloads for lower latency and better performance.
VMs & Billing
-
Improved provisioning reliability with safer deployments, resilient image downloads, better disk handling and automatic clock synchronisation.
-
Enterprise workspaces now automatically display your company's logo as the team avatar.
Storage
-
Object Storage regions can now be deployed independently from bare metal infrastructure.
-
Safer tenant lifecycle management prevents accidental tenant removal when deleting the last bucket.
Bare Metal
-
Improved Broadcom and Intel X710 network adapter support across all supported operating systems.
-
Provisioning improvements have significantly reduced deployment failures across supported hardware platforms.
High-Performance Object Storage now runs on VAST Storage technology, delivering consistent throughput for AI and latency-sensitive workloads.
VAST Regions:
- Chicago, Los Angeles 2, New York.
- Coming soon: London, Tokyo and Sydney
Object Storage now supports Bucket Versioning, Object Lock, and multiple buckets:
- Recover previous versions of objects with Bucket Versioning
- Protect objects from deletion or modification with Object Lock
- Create multiple buckets for different workloads and environments
Versioning and Object Lock can be configured during bucket creation.
Backups: Create on-demand backups of a VM's disk and restore them into a new instance. Backups run in the background without affecting the running VM.
Resizing: Resize a VM to a larger plan from the dashboard or via the API, scaling vCPUs, RAM, and disk capacity together. Resizing is upgrade-only and briefly powers off the instance during migration.
CLI Update: VMs, K8s, Firewalls and more
About 60 new commands bring now to the terminal what used to live only in the dashboard and API. Here are the main ones:
- Virtual machines: create, list, power on/off, reboot, and delete VMs. Use --wait to block until the VM is running.
- Kubernetes: create and manage clusters and download the kubeconfig with a single command.
- Firewalls and Elastic IPs: manage rules, assign to servers, and administer elastic IPs end to end.
- Storage: create S3-compatible buckets and manage filesystems.
- SSH keys and user data: full management at the team and project level, including cloud-init scripts.
- Server actions: power on/off, reboot, rescue mode, and lock/unlock with real-time status tracking.
All commands support JSON, YAML, and CSV output; JMESPath filtering via --query; and configurable pagination. Everything you need to drop it into your CI/CD pipeline.
