The ability to natively and privately connect from Code Engine to IBM Cloud VPC resources (e.g. Virtual Servers) without going through Satellite Connector, VPN tunnel or over a public endpoint

Improve Cloud Notifications

There had been a Juniper vSRX Multiple CVEs announcement in September 2023, and this could be fixed with a new version, which was supposed to be provided by mid-October. There was not any official announcement of a new version release afterwards, ...

Database storage scale down

Cost control makes it sometime necessary to scale down IBM Cloud Database instance following database maintenance, application optimization or defect resolution. This feature is not available on most IBM Cloud Databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL...

When configuring ODF through Satellite, it would be great to have the assignment automatically label the storage nodes correctly so other workloads outside of ODF do not run there.

Today when using Satellite, if you want to setup storage nodes so they are separate from application nodes, you have to perform a config, then assignment, and then you will have to run a script on the cluster to label/taint the nodes correct as de...
