Cloud-IAM news

Number of service accounts per organization increased

An organization can have up to 7 service accounts, instead of the previous 4. Use the service account to automate interactions with Cloud-IAM API: monitoring, managing your extensions, automated data export, etc.

Need to know more about account services management, full documentation here.

New deployment region

You can now host your deployment in Spain with AWS!

Uptime status

The status of your deployment, up or down, is now displayed in the Cloud-IAM app, in the information tab. This will enable you to see if an incident is in progress on your deployment.

Keycloakify v10 is available

Keycloakify 10 has undergone significant changes compared to previous versions. The software has been nearly rewritten from the ground up, making it a more mature and stable solution. However, this also brings several breaking changes. Moving forward, Keycloakify will be more stable, and you shouldn’t have to endure a painful migration process to support the latest Keycloak versions.

Crowdstrike crash

The worldwide outage caused by a faulty update to Crowdstrike's Falcon agent sensor has knocked out 8.5 million Windows systems. The failure was caused by a faulty update to the Falcon Sensor agent, automatically distributed to all Windows hosts equipped with it. A patch was released 79 minutes later, but it was already too late, as many systems that had received this update were already offline.
