Ephemeral-by-design, API-driven infrastructure
Changelog
Dates are in UTC. Not all changes are logged, especially very minor changes or changes to internal metrics.
- Removed uuid.node.sporestack.com from future builds.
- Removed kvm_url for the time being (sorry!), emergency fix and no one seems to use it. Better things will come later.
- Improvements to region selection. (Speed, reliability, consistency)
- If dcid is null, now defaults to AUTO instead of AUTO-NA.
- Improvements to the fiat to cryptocurrency price conversions. Should have improved consistency and reliability.
- Added administrative ability to remove datacenters from AUTO-rotation with 'warning' in node/option's dcid dict. For example: "5": {"name": "Los Angeles", "warning": "Network issues"}. This does not block builds if you specify dcid 5, but will avoid Los Angeles if you use AUTO or AUTO-NA.
- Small performance increase by increasing Vultr per-region availability cache time from 20 seconds to 120 seconds.
- Improved UUID filtering. UUIDs must now be lowercase.
- Bitcoin price caching and rate limit aversion.
- Unhandled exceptions now return 503 instead of an empty response.
Later that day:
- SporeStack's API endpoints are now self-replicating and redundant.
- Reverse DNS records to uuid.node.sporestack.com are no longer being set.
