Scylla Enterprise Release Information

Scylla Cloud now uses Scylla Enterprise 2019.1.8, the latest stable release of Scylla Enterprise. As new Scylla Enterprise releases become available, ScyllaDB will upgrade your cluster for you.

January 28, 2020 Update

New Features

  • Using your own AWS account: You can now choose where you can deploy your Scylla Cloud database — via your Scylla Cloud account, or in your own AWS account. Deploying in your own AWS account allows you to keep all Scylla resources (EC2, network, S3 buckets, etc.) in your own account, with your own AWS pricing, and your own company policies and geographic regulation, while benefiting from the DBaaS nature of Scylla Cloud (fully maintained, 24/7 support, proactive alerts, transparent upgrades, best practices deployments, and so on).

    To deploy Scylla Cloud in your own account, you are welcome to register in Scylla Cloud and open a support ticket with the request. In the future, this step will be fully automated.

  • Extracting Scylla DB metrics to your organization centralized monitoring system via Prometheus: Scylla Cloud now supports extracting cluster statistics in Prometheus format. The configuration is done at the cluster level, so you can choose which cluster’s metrics you wish to extract. Extracted statistics can be used either with Scylla Monitoring Stack or with any other monitoring tool that supports the Prometheus format. For example, see our DataDog and Scylla integration blog.

Scylla Enterprise Release Information

Scylla Cloud now uses Scylla Enterprise 2019.1.4, the latest stable release of Scylla Enterprise. As new Scylla Enterprise releases become available, ScyllaDB will upgrade your cluster for you.

April 9, 2019 Update

New Features

  • VPC Peering – Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Peering allows you to connect two virtual private clouds running on AWS with each other privately. This enables you to securely connect the VPC where your application is running to the VPC where your Scylla Cloud cluster is running. You can configure VPC Peering on Scylla Cloud when you create a cluster. Note Scylla’s VPC peering currently supports only IPv4 address configuration. You can read the details about configuring VPC peering in our documentation. You can also read more about VPC Peering on the AWS website.
