Review the detailed release notes before deploying any product updates.
New
-
Improve performance by removing load balancer VMs from supported AHV deployments, reducing infrastructure complexity while enabling unmanaged network deployments with manual network configuration.
-
Reduce upgrade downtime with rolling upgrades that keep I/O disruption shorter during Nutanix Objects Service upgrades.
-
Simplify MSP image management by automatically using the appropriate Microservices Platform (MSP) platform bundle for supported Prism Central and Objects versions.
-
Protect data with more precise access controls by creating object-level bucket policies based on object name prefixes or tags directly from Prism Central, the CLI, or APIs.
-
Automate more workflows with new v4 APIs for buckets, data movement targets, and storage backends.
Improvements
-
Deploy more flexibly by supporting unmanaged networks for AHV deployments without requiring an AHV-managed network.
-
Modernize deployments and upgrades with improved compatibility between Nutanix Objects, Prism Central, and the MSP platform.
Fixes
-
Improve erasure coding performance by resolving an issue that could prevent the optimal strip size from being configured automatically on AOS 7.6 clusters using a 1N:2D configuration.
