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:

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.
