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.
