Cross-region disaster recovery for Azure dedicated clusters is generally available
Self-service cross-region disaster recovery (DR) for Azure dedicated clusters is now generally available, which means DR is now available on all three cloud providers. You can configure a primary and a secondary dedicated cluster in different Azure regions, and fail over with minimal downtime and data loss.
Improved hibernation schedule management
Hibernation schedules now display as a visual weekly chart instead of a list of cards or a CRON table. The chart shows every schedule on one week-long timeline, in both UTC and your local time zone, so you can see at a glance when a Deployment will be awake or hibernating.
Additional improvements
- Ask Otto can now read, edit, save, deploy, and run tasks for an open Astro IDE session.
Export infrastructure metrics to Datadog
You can now create a Datadog (infrastructure metrics) metrics export to send Deployment infrastructure metrics directly to Datadog, in addition to the existing Prometheus Remote Write export type.
Proxy-aware IP allowlisting
If you route Astro traffic through a forward proxy or secure tunnel, such as Zscaler, you can now turn on Proxy-Aware IP Allowlisting on the IP Access List page to also accept the egress IP address of that proxy or tunnel as a valid match.
Billing API added to the Astro v1 Labs API
Enterprise+ Organizations can now query Astro cost and usage data programmatically through the new List daily usage endpoint on the Astro v1 Labs API , which returns per-Deployment resource cost data with a FOCUS-formatted response option.
The new Astro experience is now live for all Organizations
The new Astro experience is now turned on for all Organizations and is out of Preview. It replaces the previous Astro experience, so there is no longer an opt-in or an option to switch back. The change doesn't affect your pipelines or configuration. Astro's navigation gives you a single view across your entire Organization instead of a single Workspace.
The Astro IDE is generally available
The Astro IDE is now generally available and is no longer a Preview feature. The Astro IDE is a browser-based workspace for Apache Airflow where you write Dag code, validate and test changes, and deploy or push your work without setting up a local development environment.
