Changelog #

A changelog of updates done to the Quantum Platform. This changelog features more technical aspects of our products and services operated on behalf of our customers.

2021-10-04 Managed Logging

We updated our Managed Logging service to Loki’s v2.3.0 release.

Most notable internal changes are the following:

we improved the availability (and maintainability) of our Loki deployment by completely switching to object storage
we migrated the Loki deployment to our new cloud infrastructure (picture: AMD Epycs, NVMEs, updated network)
all requests to Loki is routed through our new proxy server which will enable a few more features for our customers down the road

Most notable customer facing changes are:

(breaking change) 100% more transport encryption: we now require SSL/TLS on the logs endpoint
query restrictions if your query does not contain at least one = matcher (see Loki’s changelog for details)
since v1.6.0, Loki’s logql (log query language) got an overall, which includes:
- understands IP addresses (which may be very helpful sifting through your logs)
- extended template functions
- math functions
- for more details, see the official documentation
lots of performance improvements (which make writing logs and querying them more zippy)

2021-09-25 Console

We migrated our Console to our (new) Cloud infrastructure. This migration improves reliability and performance for our customers.

2021-09-02 Quantum CLI

We released 2.6.0 improves the reliability of deployments when environment variables are used (e.g. for release versions or images). For details click here.

2021-07-23 Managed Registry

We migrated our Managed Registry to our (new) Cloud infrastructure. This migration improves reliability and performance for our customers.

2021-07-01 Quantum CLI

We released 2.5.0 (and minor follow-up) with enhancements for migrating stacks between various endpoints. The CLI now supports copying stacks including all volumes via quantum-cli migration. Upgrading clusters and moving stacks has never been easier for our customers. For details click here.

2021-04-22 Console

We update the console to Portainer’s 2.1.1 release.

Updating Portainer included porting our features and patches to this new release. These include:

integration with our custom metrics dashboard
enhanced health checking for Docker Swarm nodes
enhanced SSO integration with our identity service to be able to sync teams and accounts
improved Docker Registry management for non-admin user accounts
improved security around Docker Registry handling (e.g. multiple customers or teams can use the same registry but different accounts)
improved volume management (for non-admin user accounts)

Not visible to our customers (but for safety and release velocity), we also maintain two comprehensive and growing (e2e) test suits (powered by Cypress and bats).

2021-04-16 Quantum CLI

We released 2.4.0 with enhancements for the stack management lifecycle. The CLI now supports deleting stacks via quantum-cli stack rm as part of a CI/CD process. For details click here.

2021-03-24 Quantum CLI
