While viewing a specific Cloud Container server, click "Add Container" and the form will automatically select the server that you're viewing, saving you a click and scroll. It's the small things.
As is tradition at this point when a new Ubuntu LTS release is ready to go we gradually start updating our Cloud Container platform where it makes sense. First off the ranks this time is Apache + PHP 8.2. You can get all the details on the blog.
Custom Images are one of things that make our Cloud Container platform almost endlessly flexible but sometimes it can be quite a bit to understand. To help we've improved our documentation
As well as that improved documentation we've also put some example projects to kickstart your own on our GitHub:
Hot on the heels of massively speeding up Cloud Container jobs with some Redis improvements back in May we've found another optimisation. This time we've sped up the authentication process that confirms whether a job is allowed to take place, which speeds up every action (think creating a container or deleting a database) by a further ~2 seconds. A smaller win this time, but each improvement adds up to an even more responsive platform.
Underneath the covers of the Cloud Container platform we've greatly improved the service discovery capabilities for new types of containers. This means you can expect to see more Service and Integrated containers, that have more capabilities out of the box.
In some rare edge cases involving malformed docker-compose files, Cloud Container Caching would randomly turn on. And while this is a great feature that many people should use, it will now only turn on when requested.
