Great news in Chameleon-land!

Floating DNS hostnames available for HTTPS experiments. If you’ve been exposing web interfaces over the public internet, you may have already played around with generating a self-signed certificate to secure your traffic. Now there is a better way: you can use a stable hostname assigned to your Floating IP. This allows you to e.g. use LetsEncrypt’s DNS verification to generate a certificate signed by a trusted CA. For more information about this, please refer to our documentation.

 

Legacy KVM environment being decommissioned this month. As we announced, the old KVM environment is being replaced by a new deployment, and you should work to migrate your workloads. We will be doing the final teardown of the old cluster this month.
