  • The ability to refresh a cluster has been added to Morpheus API and CLI

Identity Sources

  • Upgrade default Kubernetes Cluster Layouts to version 1.28 6.3.0 6.2.3

Fixes

API & CLI

  • The backupType property for the create backup API call is now properly handling a non-Morpheus backup type 6.3.0 6.2.3

Ansible Tower

  • When hosts are deleted from Morpheus they are now removed from all Ansible Tower inventories. Previously if they were part of multiple inventories they would only be removed from one 6.2.3 6.3.0

Backups

  • Fixed an issue that could cause the wrong backup provider to be selected when there were multiple of the same type integrated (ex. Veeam). The provider associated with the Cloud is now always selected 6.3.0 6.2.3

Google Cloud Platform

  • Fixed a invalid PKCS8 data error that prevented creation of all-region and all-project GCP Clouds using stored credentials

Kubernetes

  • Editing and resaving packages on Kubernetes Cluster Layouts after the initial save is now working properly 6.2.3 6.3.0

Nutanix Prism Central

  • The handling of the UEFI setting on the Virtual Image and Instance Type and the Secure Boot setting on the Instance Type for Nutanix Prism Central Cloud Instance provisioning is working properly

Plugins

  • Fixed an issue related to displaying dependent fields in custom backup plugins within the backups section of the provisioning wizard 6.3.0 6.2.3

  • Having incompatible plugins installed will no longer prevent UI startup following an upgrade 6.2.3 6.3.0

  • The approval of extensions on expiration and shutdown Policies on Instances is now working properly

Security

  • Fixed an issue that could cause duplicate entries in ServiceNow CMDB in specific cases involving multiple Morpheus Tenants 6.3.0 6.2.3

  • For ServiceNow Approvals, Morpheus now sends the unique username in addition to the non-unique display name to ensure the approver can properly evaluate who is making the request 6.3.0 6.2.3

Workflows

  • Scoping Workflows to a platform (Linux or Windows) now results in proper filtering when choosing to run a Workflow against a workload. Windows Workflows are not shown as an option for Linux workloads, for example

  • When a Workflow has a Task in the Configuration phase and that Workflow is referenced in a Workflow Policy, it is executed as expected during the Configuration phase on Instance provision

XaaS

  • Attempting to utilize the user variable morpheus['user']['username'] within a Python Task targeting an XaaS Instance will no longer cause the Task to fail 6.2.3 6.3.0
