    iPrivate Preview

    Advice on use of Private Preview features

  • Supports graceful upgrades for newly created clusters. Queries with an execution time of less than 20 seconds can finish without being affected by the upgrade.

  • Supports cluster-level access control on the cloud console.

  • Supports account-level discounts to allow specific accounts to be labeled as test for lower SLA and costs.

  • Optimized the SSO behavior for new users: a new user needs to log in manually with SSO after successfully registering when SSO is enabled.

  • Supports subscribing to CelerData Cloud BYOC on Azure Marketplace.

February 2025​

  • Supports creating a cluster with End-to-End Private Link to secure the traffic, including submitted queries and returned data.
  • Supports deploying Multi-AZ clusters with Terraform.
  • Optimized idle checks for clusters and warehouses to allow more accurate automatic suspension. (These checks are supported in v3.3.8 or later.)

January 2025​

  • Internal IP addresses and CIDR are forbidden in the IP access list, including 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16.

  • Supports creating a warehouse within a single Availability Zone (AZ) in a multi-AZ cluster.

December 2024​

Improvements​

  • Supports adding and removing tags for CelerData clusters. Tags can be used to manage cloud resources in AWS, Azure, and GCP.
  • Supports access control to query history by adding a role cloud_query_history. Cluster administrators can manually create this role using CREATE ROLE and grant it to other database users using GRANT.

Behavior changes​

  • Members that are not the account creator can no longer log in with username and password when SSO is enabled.

November 2024​

Improvements​

  • Supports deploying an elastic cluster with multiple availability zones, see Multi-AZ Deployment.

  • Supports Cluster-level Access Control by configuring an IP access list to allow or deny access to the cluster operation page.
  • Supports automated Storage scaling (Storage Autoscaling). If a storage scaling policy is defined, CelerData will monitor the storage usage of nodes and automatically scale up the storage if needed.

Behavior changes​

  • Changed AuditLog timezone to UTC.
