  New Pipeline Approvals & Portal Controls

  May 26, 2026

  We are pleased to announce a major update to STACKIT Git & Pipelines, introducing enhanced security controls, pipeline governance, and advanced identity management features directly from the STACKIT Portal.

  Pipeline Governance: Protected Workflows & Approvers

  To ensure higher resilience and meet enterprise change management standards, we have introduced Pipeline Approvers. Empower your team to ensure the highest quality standards by enabling designated members to review and authorize critical deployment pipelines before execution. There are two ways to implement this functionality depending on your setup:

  • Manual Workflow Approval: A seamless UI-driven configuration within the STACKIT Portal to pause workflows and require manual validation before moving to high-risk deployment stages.
  • Split workflow: Configure your code in two different files, so you get the same final behaviour but with less customization.

  Advanced Identity & Access Management (IAM)

  We have significantly improved user life cycle management and access security:

  • Identity Provider (IdP) Integration: Connect your corporate Identity Provider directly to your STACKIT Git instance to automate user onboarding and federation.
  • Local vs. Technical User Creation: Administrators can now differentiate between standard internal users (Local) and automated automation tokens/accounts (Technical Users), reducing the risk of unauthorized privilege escalation.

  Network & administrative controls from the Portal

  You no longer need to manage advanced configuration with API or backend support requests. The STACKIT Portal now offers full self-service capabilities for:

  • IP Address Whitelisting (ACL Control): Secure your Git repositories by restricting inbound and outbound traffic to trusted enterprise network ranges directly from the instance network settings.
  • User Admin Management: Complete control over user permissions, seat allocations, and project visibility through a unified administrative panel.

  New Feature: STACKIT DNS Resolver enters Public Preview.

  May 25, 2026

  We are excited to announce that the STACKIT DNS Resolver is now available in Public Preview.

  The DNS Resolver is an infrastructure component designed to deliver secure, high-performance domain name resolution entirely within the data-sovereign STACKIT Cloud.

  Unlike typical catalog services, the DNS Resolver is not a product you need to order, but an underlying network enhancement built directly into our ecosystem. To maintain the highest security boundaries, it does not act as a generally available public resolver; its accessibility is limited to the STACKIT ecosystem, ensuring your internal lookup queries never leave our secure environment.

  Core features and benefits

  • Data Sovereignty: Operated entirely within STACKIT’s sovereign European infrastructure, ensuring your DNS traffic remains protected and fully compliant with local data privacy standards.
  • Knowing where to Go: DNS is at its best when pointing your workloads in the right direction, but that’s hard to do if your resolver itself is hard to find. To help with this a little, we’ve secured some easy-to-remember IPs, like 213.17.17.17, so you always know exactly where to point.
  • DNS over HTTPS (DoH): Native support for encrypted DNS resolution with no additional configuration requirements, shielding your queries from eavesdropping or tampering.
  • Regional Availability: Fully deployed across both active regions (eu01 and eu02) to guarantee low-latency resolution for your workloads.
  • Portal Integration & DNS Toolbox: Lookup your region’s specific resolver IPs within the existing DNS section of the STACKIT Portal. Additionally, the new DNS Toolbox rolled out to the Portal allows you to perform public DNS resolution tests and manually flush the resolver’s DNS cache if needed.

  Seamlessly integrate at zero cost

  Because this is a fundamental networking component, the STACKIT DNS Resolver is completely free of charge and requires no ordering process.

  During this Public Preview phase, you can start routing your traffic through the resolver by manually updating your SNA or Network’s DNS server list or adjust the operating system configuration to point to the respective regional resolver IPs like 213.17.17.17. Learn more about this topic with (STACKIT DNS Resolver IPs). The IPs are visible in the Portal as well.

  We are continuously optimizing our core infrastructure based on your valuable feedback. Our Help Center and the documentation are always at your disposal if you have any questions. Start with Introduction to STACKIT DNS Resolver to get in touch with it.

  STACKIT File Storage now available with Snapshot Scheduling and Immutable Snapshots

  May 21, 2026

  We are happy to announce that STACKIT File Storage now got two additional features available that we would like to announce today:

  • Snapshot Scheduling: You now can use “Scheduling” to automatically let Snapshots been created automatically. This is increased by even more options for the time slice.
  • The Snapshot Scheduling is a great baseline for the second new feature, the Immutable Snapshots. For both types of Snapshots, the automatically scheduled ones as well as for the manually created Snapshots, there is now an option to set them as “Immutable” with a specified retention period (up to 30 days).

  This new functions are available in the Portal, Terraform, and STACKIT CLI/SDK.

  You can find more information in the documentation and in the service description.

  If you have any questions, our Help Center is always at your disposal.
