Amazon

Added support for new reserved keywords in RDS MySQL 3.06.0 ^6.2.10

Budgets

Budgets now include the option to choose from one of two data forecasting models to estimate out the budget through the end of its configured term

Clouds

Added more granular controls around automatic Cloud inventory. Depending on Cloud feature capability, set the default active or inactive state for Plans, Networks, Security Groups, Datastores, Folders, and more
Users must now type “DELETE” into a text field to confirm they wish to delete a Cloud which is a safeguard already available on other resources in Morpheus ^6.2.10

Email Notifications

Added “Email Templates” tab to the global settings section (Administration > Settings). Create new templates to replace the system default templates for notifications such as Instance provisioning completion, password reset, policy warnings, and much more

Jobs

Jobs can now be configured to only run on workloads with an on or an off power state (or keep the default behavior of running with any power state)

License

Updated wording on the license application page (Administration > Settings > License) to reflect updated licensing policies ^6.2.10

MicrosoftDNS

Major improvements added to the MicrosoftDNS plugin. See updated MSDNS integration documentation for further details ^6.2.10

Nutanix Prism Central

Added a “Windows Defender Credential Guard” checkbox when “Secure Boot” is also checked which mirrors functionality available in NPC ^6.2.10
Added support for Nutanix Prism Central Projects. Clouds can be scoped to a specific project or Instances can be provisioned to specific projects ^6.2.10

Oracle Cloud

Added mx-queretaro-1 region support for Oracle Clouds ^6.2.10

Personas

Added a new API Persona. This allows service accounts to be configured for API use which have no Morpheus UI access

VMware

Added SR-IOV network adapter support

Virtual Images

In the Locations section of a Virtual Image detail page, the “CLOUD” column has been relabeled to “REFERENCE” as the source can be a Cluster or a Cloud
Virtual Image types are no longer a static list but can be dynamically added to an appliance based on integrated Cloud types

Fixes¶

API & CLI

The https://<morpheusUrl>/api/zones/<id>/security-groups endpoint now properly returns the expected Security Groups ^6.2.10
When running a Workflow on a host via API, a processId is now returned along with the success boolean so that the execution history may also be tracked via API if desired ^6.2.10

Amazon

Fixed AWS Clouds getting stuck in the “Initializing” status prior to initial sync on creation of the Cloud in specific scenarios ^6.2.10
Fixed AWS prices not syncing for Clouds scoped to the Osaka region ^6.2.10

When unable to properly authenticate with a Role ARN, the cloud will not be added using the root account instead. An error appears now appear confirming the connection to AWS cannot be made ^6.2.10
Improved the process by which Morpheus syncs data (costing data, resource sync, etc) from Amazon Clouds to reduce the number of overall database transactions. In some environments, excessive transactions could lead to very large binlog size which could even bring the cluster down (depending on environment size and binlog retention period)

Archives

Within an Archive, on the scripts tab of a file detail page, fixed an HTML <a> tag which was being shown as visible text copy on the page ^6.2.10

Inputs on Instance Type Catalog Items contain Instance and Instance Type information once again to maintain compatibility with previously written translation scripts ^6.2.10

Clouds

When adding a new Cloud in the Master Tenant and selecting a Tenant (other than the Master Tenant) for “Visibility” purposes, the Visibility configuration is automatically saved as “Private” even if left with the default “Public” configuration ^6.2.10
When creating or editing Clouds or Groups to have the same name as existing resources, the record is not saved and a friendly UI warning is shown to indicate the name must be unique ^6.2.10

Clusters

When a Teardown-phase Task fails, the Cluster no longer continues on to be deleted allowing the user to correct the issue so Teardown-phase Tasks are run successfully prior to deleting

Costing

Fixed usage records not being re-created after a hot-resize which didn’t require the workload to be restarted ^6.2.10
Improved “Costs this Month” totals on the Clouds list page which in certain cases could be off due to currency conversions ^6.2.10

When an Instance is provisioned to a Cloud and the Cloud is removed from the Group configured at Instance provision time, the Instance detail page will no longer fail to open with an “Instance not found” UI warning ^6.2.10

Integrations

Added helper text “Warning! Using HTTP URLS are insecure and not recommended.” on integration modals which lacked it ^6.2.10

Jobs

The targets list on a Jobs detail page (Provisioning > Jobs > Selected Job) now updates with the live status of the Instance targets rather than displaying a cached status ^6.2.10

Proxies

Roles

Users in Roles with “Read” permission on Clouds will no longer be allowed to manually trigger a refresh the Cloud, which brings UI behavior in line with API behavior ^6.2.10
When viewing user permissions for a currently logged in user which has only the built-in System Admin Role, the Cypher feature permission level is now properly shown as “Full Decrypted” ^6.2.10
