Dear Community,
 
This is to let you know about Acronis Cyber Infrastructure 5.3 release.
 
Build number: 5.3.0-130
 
What’s new:
Core storage
  • NVMe and SSD performance boost with replication data redundancy. By configuring multiple chunk servers per NVMe and SSD storage drive, you can improve storage performance and scaling to a high number of clients. The performance increase is only possible when using redundancy by replication.
Object storage
  • Support for the UploadPartCopy S3 API action. Added the possibility to upload parts by copying data from an existing object as a data source.
Monitoring and alerts
  • Grafana dashboards for the compute services. The new dashboards show the state of the compute services and compute resource allocation, namely vCPUs, RAM, storage policies, and floating IP addresses, for all projects or filtered per domain/project.
Security
  • Improved security for backup and object storage. The backup and object storage services now work under restricted accounts that have access only to service data, configuration files, and logs.
  • Disabled vulnerable TLS protocol versions. Connections to the admin and self-service panels, as well as other services with the API, can only be established with TLS protocol versions 1.2 and 1.3. Using versions 1.0 and 1.1 is no longer available.
User interface
  • Management of locked users. In the command-line interface, it is now possible to list and manage user accounts that have been locked after a number of successive failed login attempts.
  • New license screens. The newly redesigned screens allow an easy SPLA license activation by selecting a country, city, and datacenter.
Compute service
  • Configurable scheduling of virtual machines. Extended the scheduler parameters that are available for configuration, thus enabling a more granular control over compute workload distribution. Now, you can choose between at least two distribution modes for virtual machines: to spread them evenly across all compute nodes or to consolidate them on nodes as much as possible.
  • Kubernetes advanced mode. Added support for Kubernetes cluster autoscaling, integrated monitoring, and ability to specify labels to manage Kubernetes features.
  • Creating Kubernetes clusters under a service user. Any project user will now be able to manage all Kubernetes clusters within the assigned project.
  • Support for a clean installation of Kubernetes version 1.24.
Documentation
  • Insights on cache architecture. The new documentation section explains cache benefits, best practices, and possible configurations. It also describes scenarios for when to use or avoid using cache, and provides details on the internal architecture.
 
Full list of new features, fixed and known issues is available in the release notes: https://dl.acronis.com/u/vstorage/relnotes.html

Dear Community,
 
Acronis Cyber Infrastructure 5.3 Update 1 has been released.  
 
Build number: 5.3.1-38
 
What's new:
Security
  • Data-in-transit encryption. To protect networks against eavesdropping attacks and traffic hijacking, Acronis Cyber Infrastructure supports data-in-transit encryption between cluster nodes. Data transmitted over a network is encrypted by using the AES-128 standard.
Monitoring
  • Backup storage migration monitoring. Added a set of metrics for backup storage migration, to help system administrators to monitor the process with better granularity and to track its overall state at the backup account level.
  • Backup storage certificate monitoring. Added metrics and alerts for backup storage certificates, to help system administrators avoid accidental certificate expiration, by updating certificates for backup storage registrations in time.
Compute service
  • Added support for Oracle Linux 7 as a guest operating system.
Fixed issues:
  • [VSTOR-60452] It is impossible to start a cluster update after an eligibility check failure.
  • [VSTOR-60459] A stability fix for Windows 2016/2019 virtual machines on specific CPUs.
  • [VSTOR-60448] Fixes the false-positive alerts "Docker service is down," "Node is offline," and "Master metadata service changes too often" that appear during an update.
  • [VSTOR-60387] Added dashboards and metrics for the load balancer and Kubernetes API status.
  • [VSTOR-59696] The Neutron, Cinder, and Nova dashboards may show "No data."
  • [VSTOR-59851] Cannot enable geo-replication if there are specific temporary files.
  • [VSTOR-59751] Reconfiguration of the compute cluster during an update should be prohibited, to avoid possible issues.
  • [VSTOR-59617] Fixes autodetection of the image type while uploading images via vinfra.
  • [VSTOR-59562] If the object storage is deleted, the critical alert "Object storage has failed" should not be raised.
  • [VSTOR-59433] Fixes the false-positive alert "Volume mismatch" for detached ISO volumes.
  • [VSTOR-48706] Cannot manage a virtual machine due to temporary snapshot leftovers after live migration.
  • [VSTOR-60304] An error message is not displayed when a node release from the compute cluster conflicts with another operation.
  • [VSTOR-51731, VSTOR-59728, VSTOR-59315, VSTOR-54550, VSTOR-56757, VSTOR-59985, VSTOR-60626, VSTOR-60551, VSTOR-60529, VSTOR-60315, VSTOR-60134, VSTOR-59933, VSTOR-59646] Important stability and performance improvements.
