Virtuozzo Application Platform 7.0

This document is preliminary and subject to change.

In this document, you will find all of the new features, enhancements and visible changes included to the PaaS 7.0 release.

Extended Account Collaboration

The platform’s account collaboration feature is a powerful tool that allows multiple users to work on the same project. The core idea is straightforward - you can share your environment with other accounts on the platform. Additionally, different permissions can be provided to the collaboration members to cover various use cases.

In the current 7.0 upgrade, the feature received a major rework, mainly focusing on extending its flexibility. Two focal points are roles and policies mechanics for advanced permission management and integration with environment groups to better organize shared components. All the features are wrapped in a new comprehensive UI:

• Shared by Me - collaboration options for the primary account, it has three tabs:
  • Members - manages a list of collaboration members (invite new users, suspend or remove existing ones, customize shared environments, groups, roles, etc.)
  • Roles - configures custom roles (a combination of policies) that create the required range of actions
  • Policies - lists actions (specific operations) that can be included in a role
• Shared with Me - options for the collaboration member (accept/reject the invitation, view roles and policies, leave collaboration, etc.)

The new collaboration flow remains the same in principle but much more configurable in detail. In general, the primary account still sends a collaboration invite, and the user can accept it. However, instead of the two predefined collaboration roles (admin and viewer), you can manually create as many roles with different permissions as you need. Also, in addition to the ability to share separate environments, it is now possible to share environment groups, which can help organize things on the primary account in a much easier and clearer way.

You can find information on even more changes to the collaboration feature (ability to temporarily suspend collaboration, role assigning algorithm, direct environment sharing, etc.) in the dedicated documentation:

Software Stack Versions

The software stack provisioning process is independent of the platform release, which allows new software solutions to be delivered as soon as they are ready. However, due to the necessity to adapt and test new stack versions, there is a small delay between software release by its respective upstream maintainer and integration into the platform.

The most accurate and up-to-date list of the certified software stack versions can be found on the dedicated documentation page.
