Fleio 2020.06: Beta release, more angular news, scheduled backups with celery beat and more

Fleio 2020.06.1 was released. The latest version was published on 2020-06-17 and it’s a stable release.

Beta release

Starting with 2020.06 release we are changing the way on how we release Fleio. The first version (2020.06.0) will be a beta one, and will not be pushed to the public repository.

Packages will be available only on demand, so if you are interested in testing the latest changes please open a new support ticket.

Shortly after 2020.06.0 is release, we plan to move on releasing the stable version, which should be 2020.06.1 version.

Fleio settings menu available on angular!

If you were following our latest blog posts you know that we’re currently migrating from AngularJS to Angular.

With the latest release we have now fully migrated the Settings menu to angular. This includes all sub menus.

To be able to access this you need to have angular frontend enabled.

If you want to try the new angular frontend before we release the stable version, you can check our demo.

Scheduled backups with celery beat

Since 2020.05 we have started to migrate the long running tasks (process clients, collect traffic data) from crons to celery beat tasks.

With 20202.06 we have also migrated de scheduled backups.

New settings options

LONG_RUNNING_TASK_TIME_LIMIT = 36 * 3600
The timout limit for long running tasks (mentioned previously)
PRICING_RULE_PRICE_MAX_DECIMAL_PLACES = 8
The number of decimals allowed for prices in pricing rules. We recommend to use maximum 10 decimals.
INSTANCE_PREFERRED_ACCESS_IP_TYPE = 'IPv4'
Before 2020.06, the display IP was the first IP that was assigned to instance. Sometimes, this might had been an IPv6, which is not that human readable. With this option you will be able to force the display of IPv4, if there is one.
OS_ENDUSER_API_FOR_CLUSTER_CREATION = True
Ensures the cluster is created using an api user  when a client creates it

Fleio 2020.06 includes many more improvements and bug fixes. For a full list see the full 2020.06 changelog.

See the latest version of Fleio in the online demo and contact us to discuss how we can implement Fleio in your OpenStack cloud.
