# February 2024

## What's new

### [<mark style="color:blue;">**IONOS CLOUD Telemetry API for Logging Service**</mark>](/cloud/observability/logging-service.md)

{% hint style="success" %}
**February 27**

You can now interact with the [<mark style="color:blue;">IONOS CLOUD Telemetry API</mark>](/cloud/observability/logging-service.md) through the managed Grafana provided by the Logging Service. It is also compatible with Prometheus specifications. The Telemetry API uses the same authentication as the <code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code> API; hence, you can use the same API token to authenticate with the Telemetry API.
{% endhint %}

[<mark style="color:blue;">Upbound Crossplane Marketplace</mark>](https://marketplace.upbound.io/providers/ionos-cloud/provider-ionoscloud/v1.1.7) now lists <code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code> as the Crossplane Provider. With Crossplane, you can convert a Kubernetes cluster into a universal control plane.

{% hint style="success" %}
**February 1**

The following significant changes are being made to <code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code> APIs, SDKs authentication methods, and token management to enhance user security.

* A new way to [<mark style="color:blue;">manage authentication tokens</mark>](/cloud/set-up-ionos-cloud/management/identity-access-management/token-manager.md) from the Data Center Designer (DCD) is introduced.
* **Effective March 15, 2024**, the Basic Authentication across <code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code>’ APIs and SDKs is completely deprecated for user accounts with 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled or 2FA forced. Impacted users can only generate tokens from the **API/SDK Authentication Token Manager**.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/release-notes/previous-releases/2024/february-2024.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
