The database creation panel for PostgreSQL or MySQL database now includes an advanced settings section that is closed by default. The advanced settings include whether to set a custom database name and whether to use a custom configuration file.
Ephemeral automatically generates a default databaseName
based on the name
field. name
is used for the database server, and to identify the database in the list, and databaseName
is the name of the database or schema. databaseName
strips any spaces and invalid characters from name
. After the database is created, databaseName
cannot be changed.
If the generated name is too short, Ephemeral uses a fallback - mydb
for MySQL and postgres
for PostgreSQL. Generated names never exceed 64 characters for MySQL and 63 characters for PostgreSQL.
The helm chart is updated to allow you to specify resources for each container of the web deployment pod.
For each container, specify resource requests and limits at values.ephemeral_web.resources.
Valid values for
are ephemeral_ui
, ephemeral_api
, nginx
, and vector
.
Removed the option to access databases using an SSH Bastion.
Direct access to Ephemeral Cloud databases - For databases created as of version 064, you no longer use an SSH tunnel to connect to the database, just the basic connection information. To limit database access, you can create an allowlist of IP addresses that are permitted to access your Ephemeral Cloud databases.
Updated the DNS database access method to use NodePort services instead of HostPorts on the database pods.
The connection details for databases are now displayed on the Connection Details tab of the database details panel. Previously they were displayed on a separate panel.
The user menu now displays the Ephemeral version number.
If the most recent snapshot for a deactivated database is deleted, then when you try to reactivate the database, the confirmation panel now indicates that the database will start with earlier data.
For the workloads in an Ephemeral deployment, the Helm chart now allows you to specify the node selectors and the toleration key, value, effect, and operator values.
You can now track your billed usage for Ephemeral. The navigation bar shows your usage for the current month. When you click that value, Ephemeral displays the Usage Metrics page, which includes usage summaries and a list of databases.
The disk space usage is moved from the navigation bar. To display the disk usage and the auto-delete settings, on the Usage Metrics page, click Disk Storage Settings.
