  SKE security enhancement: OpenSSH removal

  Sep 28, 2026

  To align with cloud-native security best practices and further harden your clusters, STACKIT Kubernetes Engine is updating its node configuration.

  Currently, nodes provisioned by STACKIT run the OpenSSH daemon, even though there is no supported method to use it. To reduce the OS-level attack surface and enforce immutable infrastructure practices, the OpenSSH daemon will be permanently disabled on all nodes during scheduled cluster maintenance starting November 5, 2026.

  If you have a specific requirement to keep the OpenSSH daemon active on your nodes, please open a service request via the Help Center. Please note that this is only a temporary exception, and the daemon will eventually be disabled across all clusters.

  Otherwise, no action is required, and your workloads will continue running without interruption.

  One SSH address for all STACKIT Git instances

  Sep 25, 2026

  On October 27, 2026, from 20:00 to 23:00 (UTC), SSH access to STACKIT Git moves to one shared address. The name of your instance becomes the first element of the repository path. This reduces the publicly exposed surface of your instance and lets us improve the reliability of Git operations over SSH in one place.

  • Previous address: git@ssh.<instance>.git.onstackit.cloud:<owner>/<repository>.git
  • Address after the maintenance: ssh://git@ssh.git.onstackit.cloud/<instance>/<owner>/<repository>.git

  How you are affected

  During the maintenance every Git instance is restarted once and is unavailable for about one minute. The restarts are staggered, so not all instances are affected at the same time. Access over HTTPS, your repositories, your users, your registered SSH keys and your IP allowlists do not change.

  The previous address keeps working until April 27, 2027. Your existing clones and your automation continue to work after the maintenance, so you can move them at your own pace. We remind you before we switch the previous address off.

  What to prepare before October 27, 2026

  • Allow outbound traffic to 213.17.16.145 on port 22, if your network restricts outbound connections.
  • Add the host key of ssh.git.onstackit.cloud, if your systems verify host keys. Its fingerprint is SHA256:I4jgl6ALgx5qOWwpQVC2M613dV7R0Wy6LfQQ5LQKwR4 (ED25519).
  • Make sure the SSH key your client offers to ssh.git.onstackit.cloud is registered in your instance.
  • Identify every place that holds the address: local clones, build pipelines, deployment automation, infrastructure as code module sources and repository mirrors.

  What to do after the maintenance

  Update the remote address of each repository:

  git remote set-url origin "$(git remote get-url origin | sed -E 's#^(ssh://)?git@ssh\.([^.]+)\.git\.onstackit\.cloud[:/]#ssh://git@ssh.git.onstackit.cloud/\2/#')"

  STACKIT PostgreSQL Flex API v3 is now generally available

  Sep 24, 2026

  We are happy to announce that STACKIT PostgreSQL Flex API v3 reached general availability on 1 August 2026. API v3 can also be used via the STACKIT CLI and Terraform and introduces more granular user and role management, custom resource labels, and instance protection.

  Important: Since delayed deletion no longer applies, deleting an instance in API v3 without active instance protection causes immediate, permanent, and unrecoverable data loss, so enable instance protection on all critical production instances.

  Learn more about the new capabilities in our documentation:

  • Manage user roles, including the new createrole role
  • Assign custom resource labels
  • Protect instances from accidental deletion with instance protection

  Our Help Center is always at your disposal if you have any questions or require assistance.
