Activate Central Logging through the DCD

May 20

You can now activate Central Logging on your contract directly through the DCD. Previously, this was only possible through the Logging API. Central Logging is a Logging Service capability that integrated IONOS CLOUD products use to surface logs to you in Grafana. For more information, see activating Central Logging through the DCD or the Logging API.

DBaaS PostgreSQL v2 API in General Availability

May 20

The IONOS CLOUD DBaaS PostgreSQL v2 API is now in the General Availability (GA) phase, graduating from Early Access (EA). The PostgreSQL v2 API supports production workloads across all nine IONOS CLOUD regions: Berlin, Frankfurt, Paris, Logroño, London, Worcester, Las Vegas, Lenexa, and Newark.

Any IONOS CLOUD contract can now provision PostgreSQL v2 clusters without prior activation—IONOS CLOUD no longer enforces the EA contract whitelist. For information on capabilities and differences from PostgreSQL v1, see DBaaS PostgreSQL API Versions.

Important: The PostgreSQL v1 API will be deprecated in an upcoming release. Existing v1 clusters will be automatically migrated to v2—no user action is required. We recommend creating new clusters using PostgreSQL v2 Endpoints to leverage the new capabilities.
