In this new update you learn more about APIs. Not in a reading mood? No worries. Relax and enjoy our podcast below. Fuga Cloud is based on OpenStack, an open-source software platform. It contains many different projects and applications which all communicate with each other using APIs. Each project has a specific job in the cloud ecosystem.

The road to a new Cloud region. It’s a fun, but bumpy ride. One of the most asked features for Fuga Cloud is an extra region. That’s why we are working hard to develop a new region.

Update Jan 18th This morning, January 18th at 06:00 CET, the implementation of the security patch for our network controllers didn’t go as expected. After patching and restarting the control layer at 07:15 CET, networking encountered a bug. It took us until 08:13 CET to get networking operational. From this point on, there were no issues with running services, however, our API backend remained unstable until 13:15 CET. The timeline is available on our status page.

Fuga Cloud now supports DNS resolution for Floating IP addresses. This enables Fuga instances to be properly identified on the internet establishing initial trust with third parties. This was completed by matching the result of a reverse DNS lookup with the result of a forward DNS lookup for Fuga’s Floating IP addresses. Debian 9 image Last Monday, we have added Debian 9 to our image store. Have fun with it!

Today, we celebrate Fuga’s second birthday. If you ask us what makes a party a real party, then our answer is that there are always presents. So we want to give something back to our (future) customers. We have decided to mark this milestone with the inclusion of free traffic in our flavors: ​ C1 Micro: 2TB free traffic C1 Tiny: 3TB free traffic C1 Small: 4TB free traffic C1 Medium: 5TB free traffic C1 Large: 6TB free traffic C1 XLarge: 7TB free traffic C1 XXLarge: 8TB free traffic

In order to limit the amount of abuse (on the Fuga platform), we are forced to block port 25 as the destination port for outgoing e-mail. Our registration flow, where we do a few checks, is not sufficient to prevent a large amount of spammers coming through and start spamming people throughout our platform. From now on, by default, all new accounts don’t have the ability to send e-mails to port 25 anymore.

The maximum length for object names in Fuga was 256 characters, which proved to be very limiting, so we have now raised the maximum to 1024. That is the same maximum length AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure use. Object names in Swift (and all other object stores) have a maximum length. The object name in an object store is what the filename is on an ordinary file system. Only object stores do not know the principle of folders.

From now on, the Fuga block storage zone has been transformed from ‘ams’ to ‘eu-west-1’. There has been no impact. If you previously refer to your ‘ams’ storage zone in your scripts, you should change that to ‘eu-west-1’. You can find more information about our storage types on our forum: “OpenStack storage types“.

We are proud to inform you that Fuga, following our sister organization and Managed Services Provider Cyso, recently received the ISO 27001 certification. This certification confirms that Fuga values the quality and accuracy concerning the security of information and the protection of related business processes. Paul Bankert, Managing director at Fuga: “As an organization, we are proud to receive this new certification for Fuga. This way, we strive to use our 20 years of knowledge and experience in the hosting branch through our sister organization Cyso, to the greatest possible extent within Fuga.

We’ve created a third availability zone named eu-west-1c in our region for you to use. Why should I use three zones? Using three zones is recommended to create an optimal multi-site failover cluster. Network problems can cause serious issues between cluster nodes. When a subset of nodes is unable to communicate with one another but continue to operate independently, data can become out of sync. To prevent this “split brain” situation a quorum, majority vote, is established authorising only one subset of nodes to continue operations, providing safe automatic failover.

Next week, we’re finally fulfilling a promise long overdue. We’re delivering a new availability zone for the Fuga platform. As part of the preparation of a new Fuga region in our second data center, we’ve done a lot of work on our network configuration. Part of these changes is a rename of the current region to eu-west-1 and creating two new availability zones: eu-west-1a and eu-west-1b. These will replace the current zone ams, which will be phased out.

It’s been a fantastic year for us at Fuga. Ever since launching in September 2015, we’ve managed to grow steadily throughout 2016. We are very happy with the stability and performance of the Fuga platform. One of the main goals we set ourself when we started out, was keeping up with OpenStack’s six-monthly release cycle. We never want to be more than one version behind of the most current stable release.
