Improvements ¶

Rest API ¶

For PUT operations to create or update Deployments, added a new optional boolean parameter applyDefaults that toggles whether defaults will be applied to the provided payload. If unspecified, defaults will be applied.

Note

The default behavior was changed in case a PUT operation updates an existing Deployment. In versions prior to 2.7, defaults were not applied.

Job failure expiration ¶

Extended the maxJobCreationAttempts parameter with a new optional parameter jobFailureExpirationTime which allows to specify a time frame after which older failed attempts will not be counted against the limit. See Deployment Limits for more details.

Note

Setting jobFailureExpirationTime to 0 will not cause failures to expire immediately, but instead disable the feature.

Savepoint management ¶

When adding a Savepoint manually, flinkSavepointId and the annotation com.dataartisans.appmanager.controller.deployment.spec.version are no longer required fields. Also, it is now possible to add Savepoints manually through the UI. Consult the Savepoints documentation for more details.

Native SAML support ¶

Ververica Platform now supports Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) for authentication with an external identity provider. See details on the corresponding documentation page.

Helm Charts ¶

It is now possible to configure custom pod annotations in the values.yaml file. See Custom Pod Annotations.

New Ververica branding ¶

The appearance of Ververica Platform has adapted to the new branding of Ververica.
