Announcing Latitude.sh Storage
Today we are excited to announce Latitude.sh Storage, a globally distributed, high-performance storage solution that supports Filesystem, Object, and Block volumes at millisecond speeds.
With Object Storage, you can store backups, images, files, and databases in an S3-compatible, globally distributed, and fault-tolerant system.
With Filesystem, you can create, manage, and optimize POSIX-compliant file systems, ensuring a seamless interface for distributed computing environments.
Block volumes provide high IOPS and low-latency data access through NVMe drives and advanced queue management tailored for applications with stringent performance requirements.
Latitude.sh Storage is a modular and extensible solution designed to meet the complex storage demands of modern enterprise applications, whether on bare metal or virtualized infrastructure.
Improvements and fixes
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.
Quickly access the serial console with Out-of-band
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.
Audit changes with Events
Events are now available for all accounts. With Events you can easily audit everything that happens in your account, from new members being added to changes to your infrastructure resources.
To view events happening in your account in real time, go to the dashboard and click on the Events tab in the Home page. You can also fetch events using the Events API.
Password authentication
Experience enhanced security with Latitude.sh's latest feature - Password Authentication.
You now have the option to set an access password, simplifying your login process while maintaining robust security.
This feature is engineered to seamlessly integrate with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) via Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP), offering you a dependable and user-friendly authentication alternative.
