Version 21.0
October 27, 2023
Release Overview
RDS AWS for MSSQL
Version 21.0 release primarily focuses on comprehensive support for RDS AWS MSSQL, empowering Accelario customers to build and manage test data environments in an AWS context more efficiently than ever before. This release includes all required operations on GI and users can initiate and handle Virtual Databases (VDBs) specifically designed for RDS AWS MSSQL with minimal hassle.
Monitoring & Metrics
Our monitoring capabilities are now enhanced by integrating Virtualization service with metrics exporters, offering customers and Accelerio support team deeper insights into service performance metrics.
VDB Management
Special character handling:
Resolved an issue where special characters in native backup shared folders would cause MSSQL auto-sync to fail.
Subscription management for Postgres:
Added the ability to remove subscriptions from Postgres VDBs after they start, allowing for cleaner management and better resource utilization.
