Mirantis Container Cloud 2.8 brings more control and visibility

Keep your clusters up to date
One of the advantages of Mirantis Container Cloud is that the system automatically updates when we release a new version. However, if your Container Cloud is managing outdated clusters, the update will be blocked. To unblock the update, you will need to upgrade any outdated managed clusters. Starting with version 2.8, Container Cloud will notify users if they need to update any managed clusters, showing an 'Update available' next to the name of the outdated cluster. More information about the upcoming update is available in the hover text above the icon.
Administrators or operators will be notified whether any managed clusters are currently blocking the automated update of Container Cloud with an update icon in the Projects list.

StackLight Alerts to MS Teams, ServiceNow
In version 2.8 we have also expanded the range of ways in which you can get alerts from the logging, monitoring and alerting stack of Mirantis Container Cloud. Supported external services now include Microsoft Teams and ServiceNow, which are tremendously popular among our enterprise customers. This is how the alerts from Container Cloud typically look in Teams:


See your cluster status -- live
Understanding the status fast is key to operating your cluster successfully. With version 2.8, the Container Cloud web interface now provides a way to easily check the state of the cluster and understand what's happening. Container Cloud reports the live status of a cluster in a popup window on the cluster listing page. The popup contains statuses of various objects in the cluster infrastructure, such as the Kubernetes service and components and the LMA stack components. In version 2.8, this information also includes the status of the infrastructure provider instances (virtual machines) and Cloud load balancer.
