Release Notes v0.25

Release v0.25 brings new features like Scaling of Environments, Custom Resource Groups, Blueprint Designer, Additional Single Sign-On (SSO) services, and many more enhancements and bug fixes.

✨What's New

Scaling of Environments for Improved Resource Management
Users can now scale up and scale down an environment from the Releases page.
- Users will also be able to set availability rules as scale up and scale down.
- This feature enables users to put an environment to sleep(scale down) instead of shutting it down completely, making it quick and easy to scale up without having to recreate databases and resources for every release.
- Note that Releases cannot be performed for a scaled-down environment.

Introducing Custom Resource Groups
Users can now create customized resource groups and add resources to their desired group.
- Users will also be able to view the list of associated resource groups for any resource from a new column called Resource Groups in the Resource Center page.
- After filtering a resource group from this column, users can bookmark/save the URL to be able to view all the resources in that resource group.

Blueprint Designer
Users can now view the resources of the blueprint in an easy-to-use interface.
- The Designer tab will provide them with an improved way to visualize their blueprints and will help them understand their infrastructure more easily.
- This feature is currently available for Alpha modules only and is still in development.
- They can access the Blueprint Designer through Blueprint > Designer from the left pane.

Additional Single Sign-On (SSO) services
Facets now supports two additional Single Sign-On (SSO) services, apart from the existing Google OAuth integration. Users can now use OneLogin and Okta Verify to provide identity confirmation when logging in to their Control Plane.

📈Enhancements

Enhanced Resource Center page
The Resource Center page has been enhanced, making it easier to filter and manage resources.
- The search feature on the Resource Center page has been improved to produce more precise and relevant search results.
- Users will now be able to view the substack resources using the Show Substack Resources toggle.
- Users will now be able to differentiate between Normal and Provided resources using the Normal and Provided icons.

The cluster execution time of the IaC Version 1.x has significantly improved, with faster refresh times for users in all cloud environments.
