  STACKIT AI Model Serving: New Model Release Qwen3.8 27B (Replacement for Qwen3.6 27B)

  Sep 8, 2026

  We are excited to announce that we are upgrading our model lineup by introducing Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B, which will serve as the successor to our current Qwen offerings.

  As the successor of Qwen3.6 27B the newer Qwen3.8 27B generally improves quality across all fields of application, while maintaining the focus on coding tasks. It was trained on a broad mix of publicly available data and post-trained for code generation, debugging, and technical reasoning, while also supporting general assistant tasks. With a context window of 262K tokens, it can handle large codebases and complex multi-step workflows.

  As part of this transition, we are officially deprecating the following model:

  • Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B

  We kindly ask all customers to migrate their workloads to the new model Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B before December 08, 2026.

  Token-based log sink authentication and advanced cache key controls

  Sep 8, 2026

  This release adds a new OTLP log sink configuration which supports Bearer token authentication and introduces granular URL query string and request header cache key variations (Vary cache).

  New OTLP log sink configuration

  • What’s new: Support for the new OTLP log sink configuration, supporting Basic authentication and Bearer token options. The connection validation logic and log streaming engine can now utilize authorization tokens during transport.
  • What it brings: Enhanced security and seamless integration with OpenTelemetry (OTel)-compatible log collectors and STACKIT telemetry services without exchanging static username/password credentials.
  • How to use it: Configure the token credential field within the OTLP log sink settings via the STACKIT CDN API.

  Cache key Vary controls (query strings and request headers)

  • What’s new: Granular control plane configurations to enable or disable URL query string parameter inclusion in cache keys and to define custom arrays of HTTP request headers for Vary cache evaluation.
  • What it brings: Targeted caching performance for dynamic applications, versioned API endpoints, and multi-language sites by serving localized or header-specific content directly from edge nodes without cache collisions.
  • How to use it: Set the query string caching toggle and pass the array of cache key headers via the STACKIT CDN API endpoint under your distribution configuration.

  These features are currently available via the API and SDK. Support for Terraform and the Portal will be added in a future update.

  SKE patchday October 2026 – Remove Docker from Flatcar

  Sep 7, 2026

  With the upcoming October patch day, we are adjusting the Flatcar OS images provided in STACKIT Kubernetes Engine (SKE) by removing Docker.

  Docker has been deprecated and removed as the container runtime in SKE for more than two years. By removing it, we ensure the OS footprint remains small and remove unneeded dependencies that could potentially introduce security vulnerabilities.

  Key Dates:

  • October 14, 2026: A new preview Flatcar OS version (the latest stable release available in October) will be added to SKE. This version will not contain Docker.
  • November, 11, 2026: The Flatcar version without Docker will be promoted to the supported OS version. If you have auto updates enabled, your Kubernetes worker nodes will automatically update to this version.

  What you need to do

  Test your SKE workloads beforehand using the new preview Flatcar version once it becomes available on October 14, 2026. Testing is highly recommended to ensure your configurations function exactly as expected before the automatic upgrade takes place in November.

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