New

We are excited to announce Cloud 66 Deploy v3 — a major evolution in how we deploy and manage containerized applications across any cloud.

Deploy v3 has been in development for a long time, and I’m very happy to share the news of its General Availability with all our customers today.

We are rolling out Deploy v3 in phases: starting today, all new accounts will have access to v3, and soon we’ll make it available to all existing customers.

As an Early Access release, all usage of Deploy v3 is currently free.

We can’t wait to see what you build and deploy with Deploy v3, and we’re even more excited to share additional new features with you in the near future.

Improvement

Our product documentation site has a new home! We now have fixed and deterministic page content that can be hardlinked to, a better and more focused search and clear product version and scope visual cues on the site.

In other news, our API documentation has also been updated. The new site has updated content of our latest API and full documentation of our automation webhooks.

New

Announcing the availability of filtering controls for your app default domains. Every application deployed on Cloud 66 is automatically assigned one or more unique default domains under *.c66.me. With this update, you now have control (via your apps traffic filtering configuration) over whether this domain is directly reachable, blocked, or redirected.

By default, these domains are publicly accessible, but this may inadvertently lead to SEO issues if search engines index them. With our new feature, you can decide how web traffic is handled for these default domains. For more information, please check out the help documentation.

New

We're pleased to announce that Cloud 66 now fully supports Rails 8! Included in this support is support for solid_cable, solid_cache and solid_queue components which are now part of the basic generated Rails 8 configuration.

Cloud 66 will now detect when you are using solid_cable, solid_cache and/or solid_queue components in your Rails application. We will then automatically create/configure the additional required logical databases on your database server, as well as bind up your database.yml appropriately too.

Remember that you don't have to use SolidX components; we still make it easy to install/manage Redis & Memcached on your servers, which you may want to keep as the faster alternative.

For more information about this please see our help documentation.

New

We are now very pleased to announce that Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) is now supported across all Cloud 66 products. Some of our customers have been waiting for this, and we thank them for their patience!

From this point onward, newly added servers will have Ubuntu 24.04 installed. It is recommended that you use the latest available version when possible.

If you need an older version, you can specify that via your manifest, and with this release, you can now optionally choose the Ubuntu version when scaling up via the UI.

For more on this, check out our blog post!

New

We released Cloud 66 Secrets today! Secrets are stored and transferred encrypted from Cloud 66 to your servers, using a brand new API built for security and are available to your applications as in-memory files.

You can read more about Cloud 66 Secrets on our blog and documentation sites.

Secrets are available from today to all applications and all customers on our new pricing plans.

New

We're excited to announce support for PostgreSQL v17. This update brings a number of cumulative improvements; please see the official release notes for more detail. New PostgreSQL installations will now install v17 by default. You can of course still specify to install an older version via your manifest.

Additionally, PostGIS and pgvector extensions are still installed and enabled by default!

New

At Cloud 66 we want to help you focus on building great products and businesses. That's why today, we are announcing the Cloud Match Program.

If you have free credit from your cloud provider (AWS, DigitalOcean, Azure, Google or others), we will match it with Cloud 66 credit so you can deploy your apps to any cloud provider for free!

You can use cloud credit from any cloud provider and as many cloud providers as you want and we will match 10% of the total amount as free credit for Cloud 66.

Today I am very happy to announce the general availability of Blue Green and Canary releases for Kubernetes on Cloud 66. Allowing Blue Green and Canary releases for Kubernetes is the result of months of hard work by the team here at Cloud 66 and I am very pleased with the results. We wanted our Blue Green and Canary releases to be simple to use and I think we have found the sweet spot between flexibility and ease of use.

All of these are available to all Cloud 66 customers for free from today! Read more about them here

New

Today, we are releasing a feature that will make it even more secure to run database replications across different clouds and over the public internet: APN support for database replication.

With APN support for database replication, all replication traffic goes through the Application Private Network (APN). This makes replication of databases over the public internet secure, which was something only available to replicated databases when both the master and replica were on the same cloud provider.

You can enable APN support for database replication when setting up a replica or on existing replica servers you have running.
