Managed PostgreSQL
Backup Downloads (preview)
Downloading backups of your PostgreSQL database from Ubicloud is available in preview, so you can keep your own copy or load the data into another environment.
Failover Notifications
Ubicloud now emails everyone with access to a database when a standby is promoted to primary, so an interrupted connection comes with an explanation. Planned failovers such as resizes, version upgrades, provider maintenance, and storage auto-scaling cutovers as well as unplanned failovers due to unavailability events are called out accordingly.PostgreSQL 18 by Default
New databases are created on PostgreSQL 18 whether you use the web console, the API, or the CLI, and older versions remain selectable. New PostgreSQL 17 and 18 clusters also use PostgreSQL’s builtinC.UTF-8 locale provider, which keeps sort order stable across major version and operating system upgrades.
Clearer Resize and Upgrade Pages
The resize page now shows your current instance size, vCPU and memory, storage size, and disk usage above the form, and storage sizes too small to hold the data in use are disabled with the reason on the card. Resize and upgrade pages also break failover timing into steps, naming your maintenance window and the downtime each step costs.
Network Access at Creation
Network access on the create form is now two cards: open to the internet, or no access yet. Each card clearly states the firewall rules it creates. Creating a database with no firewall rules, previously available only through the API and CLI, now works in the web console as well.Metric Destinations
Metric destinations can now authenticate with bearer tokens and send custom headers, which covers providers that need a header for tenant routing, such as Mimir. Exported metrics also carry aresource_name label, so a metrics query and a log query can use the same field.
Autovacuum Default Scaled to Instance Size
Autovacuum defaults now scale with the size of the database instance. Larger instances vacuum more aggressively instead of accumulating bloat on insert and update heavy workloads.Compute
Serial Log for VMs
You can now read serial console log of a Ubicloud Virtual Machine from the Serial Log tab on the VM page, theubi vm ... serial-log CLI command, or the API. This is the fastest way to find out why a VM failed during init and never became reachable. Repeated fetches reuse the most recent result for 60 seconds, and the button shows the countdown.
More Resilient DNS
VMs now send each DNS query to an upstream resolver on every available address family at once and take the first answer. Losing IPv6 or IPv4 connectivity, or a single upstream provider, no longer takes DNS down inside your VMs.Ubicloud Kubernetes
Cluster Metrics
Kubernetes clusters now have a Metrics tab with various charts of node-level and control plane metrics, including API server and scheduler activity. You can filter the charts to a single node, and the same data is available through the API.
