🚀 Exciting New Features in Omnistrate
We’re thrilled to introduce several powerful updates that enhance the Omnistrate platform!
Licensing Protection System
We are thrilled to introduce the Omnistrate Licensing Protection System—a robust solution that ensures only authorized, subscribed customers can deploy and use your software while preventing abuse. This is especially crucial for BYOA, BYOC, and on-premises environments. By enforcing subscription compliance, the system prevents unauthorized deployments by ensuring your software does not start without a valid license. See a demo on how the system works and explore our examples.
Scheduled Upgrades
Additionally, we’ve released a new feature that allows you to schedule software upgrades and automate customer notifications and progress tracking. This enhancement streamlines the upgrade process by letting you set the timing for upgrades and automatically informing customers of the status and progress. With real-time updates and seamless communication, you can ensure a smooth and efficient upgrade experience for both your team and customers, saving time and enhancing satisfaction.
Cost Control & Insights
Also, we are thrilled to introduce our new Cost Control and Insights, designed to give you complete visibility and control over your infrastructure and tenant costs. With this powerful tool, you can explore and analyze cost breakdowns, identify optimization opportunities, and take actionable steps to reduce expenses. Leverage savings from strategies like spot-instances and more to maximize cost efficiency. Gain valuable insights to help you optimize and manage your costs, ensuring you stay in control and make the most out of your resources.
Additional Improvements
-
Custom sidecar support allows you to enhance your SaaS product's functionality without changing its core service. Think of them as add-on containers that run alongside your main application. You can add new features or capabilities by attaching sidecar containers, use existing open-source implementations as sidecars, deploy your own custom implementations as sidecars, and run multiple sidecars with each resource instance.
Learn more about how custom sidecars can enhance your SaaS product by exploring our blog.
-
Omnistrate's Debug Mode enhances the development experience with Terraform by allowing real-time interaction with ongoing deployments, enabling quick troubleshooting and fixes without needing to restart or upgrade the entire deployment. This feature is ideal for testing Terraform scripts or applying urgent fixes while maintaining deployment continuity, improving efficiency and reducing downtime. See debug mode in action in a demo and learn more by exploring our documentation.
