  New engines and new ADMIN role available at STACKIT Dremio

  Aug 14, 2026

  Starting August 26, 2026, new engines are available to order on STACKIT Dremio. Furthermore, we are deprecating the custom CUSTOMER_ADMIN role.

  New engines: Visit Compute resources for Dremio, to learn more about available flavors.

  What this means for you: If you have Dremio instances with configured engines matching any of the criteria below, you need to migrate (or recreate) them with a valid engine size by August 26, 2026. Engines that fit the criteria below will stop working after that date.

  • Legacy engine types (engines without ‘STACKIT’ prefix)
  • STACKIT micro (4 GB RAM)
  • Any engine that isn’t present in Compute resources for Dremio will stop working.

  New ADMIN role: Until now, all STACKIT Dremio instances were provisioned with a CUSTOMER_ADMIN role that allowed you to administer your instance. After this date, all configured users will be mirrored to the new ADMIN role and the existing CUSTOMER_ADMIN will be deleted automatically.

  This change gives you better administrative control over your STACKIT Dremio instances compared to the deprecated CUSTOMER_ADMIN role.

  What this means for you: If you reference this role in any of your workloads (automated or manual), you’ll need to change the reference either to the ADMIN role or create a dedicated role with the appropriate permissions.

  STACKIT ALB WAF is now generally available

  Aug 4, 2026

  We are excited to announce that the STACKIT Application Load Balancer Web Application Firewall (ALB WAF) has reached General Availability (GA) as of 04 August 2026. You can now manage production-grade ALB WAF configurations via the stable v1 API, and Terraform.

  The ALB WAF is powered by the Coraza engine and inspects Layer 7 traffic on a per-listener basis. It combines a managed rule set based on the OWASP Core Rule Set with a structured JSON abstraction over SecLang, enabling you to author custom detection rules without writing raw SecLang directives.

  GA scope

  • API & SDK: Full support on the stable v1 API surface and updated SDKs for managing ALB WAF instances, managed rule sets, and custom rule groups.
  • Terraform Provider: Resource and data source support available for infrastructure-as-code automation.
  • Observability: ALB WAF records ship alongside Envoy logs under the component="waf" label and can be routed to attached STACKIT Observability instances.

  Post GA scope

  • STACKIT Portal UI: Full visual interface for configuring ALB WAF instances, attaching rule sets to load balancing listeners, and tuning rule actions.

  Explore our documentation to learn about basic concepts, management options, and the selector catalog:

  • Basic concepts of the ALB WAF
  • ALB WAF features
  • Reference for ALB WAF rule selectors

  We are excited to announce the launch of our new Key Value Store based on Valkey!

  This new service provides an extremely fast, highly available, and fully open-source in-memory database tailored for your data-intensive applications—offering maximum performance and seamless compatibility.

  Key Highlights:

  • High Performance & Scalability: Ultra-low latency for caching, session management, and real-time data processing.
  • Fully Open Source: Powered by the Linux Foundation’s Valkey project for long-term sustainability and vendor independence.
  • Easy Transition: Seamlessly compatible with existing Redis setups.

  You can now provision new Key Value Store instances directly via the STACKIT Portal or API.

  Note: The new Key Value Store replaces our previous Redis offering.
