What’s new

edit

AppSearch instances included in default vacate operations. App Search instances are now moved with the default platform allocator vacate command. Although App Search workloads were supported in the previous release, support for vacating these instances was not included.
New Commands. We added a number of new commands to implement API functionality:
- New deployment appsearch commands:
  
  ecctl deployment appsearch create
  
  Creates an AppSearch instance.
  
  ecctl deployment appsearch delete
  
  Deletes a previously shut down AppSearch deployment resource.
  
  ecctl deployment appsearch show
  
  Shows the specified AppSearch deployment.
  
  ecctl deployment appsearch shutdown
  
  Shuts down an AppSearch deployment.
  
  ecctl deployment appsearch upgrade
  
  Upgrades an AppSearch instance to the Elasticsearch cluster version in the deployment.
- We also added a few subcommands to the platform runner command:
  
  ecctl platform runner list
  
  Lists the existing platform runners
  
  ecctl platform runner resync
  
  Resynchronizes the search index and cache for the selected runner or all
  
  ecctl platform runner search
  
  Performs advanced runner searching
  
  ecctl platform runner show
  
  Shows information about the specified runner
--kind flag autocompletion. Commands which support the `--kind flag now provide shell autocompletion for the allowed kinds for the command.
Improved documentation. We now include the full ecctl command reference with our official documentation. We also added auto-completion instructions to the docs.
Added an --all flag for all resync commands. This flag triggers a resync not only for a specific ID but for all of the indexed records.
Changed the default polling period for the platform allocator vacate operation. The polling period now defaults to 10s instead of 1s. This change should reduce the computational impact that the allocator vacate operation has on both the machine running the command and the target environment where the vacate is being run.
Adds a couple of flags to modify the behavior of the platform allocator vacate plan poller. This is used to monitor a deployment’s change via the pending plan. The max-poll-retries flag modifies the amount of API failures to tolerate (e.g. a 404 error due to a pending plan that has finished or there have been some network errors). The --poll-frequency flag controls how often the pending plan is obtained and then streamed to the user’s terminal output.
Added a --plan-history flag to the deployment show command. This flag lets you obtain the deployment plan history for a specific deployment.

Bug fixes

edit

ecctl init returned a cryptic error when the API Key could not be verified. It now returns a human-readable error which you can act on.
--kind flag was incorrectly marked as optional in the deployment plan cancel command.

Breaking changes

edit

Renamed --type flag to --kind. We renamed the --type flag to --kind for ecctl where applicable to keep the CLI flag names closer to what the API declares. Commands affected by this change are:
- deployment show
- deployment plan cancel
- deployment resource delete
- deployment resource restore
- deployment resource shutdown
- deployment resource start-maintenance
- deployment resource start
- deployment resource stop-maintenance.go
- deployment resource stop
- deployment resource upgrade
