    General Availability of STACKIT Telemetry Router (GA)

    Section titled “General Availability of STACKIT Telemetry Router (GA)”

    We are excited to announce the General Availability (GA) of our fully managed service, STACKIT Telemetry Router.

    The Telemetry Router is a fully managed service designed to give you complete control over your cloud telemetry. It acts as a central ingestion and distribution point, automatically collecting and standardizing data into the OpenTelemetry (OTLP) format. This eliminates the need for custom parsers, allowing you to forward your unified log stream to any destination of your choice—whether for compliance requirements, security analysis, or long-term storage.

    Key Features:

    • Centralized Aggregation: Collect and manage all audit logs from every STACKIT service in a single, central location (Telemetry Hub).

    • Native OTLP Support: Data is routed with the industry-standard OpenTelemetry protocol, ensuring seamless integration with modern observability stacks.

    • Flexible Routing: Send your data to STACKIT services (STACKIT Logs, Object Storage, STACKIT Observability) or external destinations that support OTLP or S3 (Splunk, Elasticsearch, and more).

    • Compliance & Security: Meet regulatory requirements and compliance standards (such as ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, and C5) with verifiable, at-least-once delivery.

    • Managed & Scalable: We handle the infrastructure, updates, and scaling, ensuring a reliable and maintenance-free experience. A central router can also bundle the logs of an entire organization.

    Important Migration Note:

    The Public Preview has ended. The legacy Audit Log API has been decommissioned as scheduled on 02 June 2026, and the old endpoints are no longer reachable.

    Ensure that all your integrations and scripts have been fully migrated to the Telemetry Router v1.

    For more information, routing fee details, and comprehensive documentation, visit our Documentation.

    New Pipeline Approvals & Portal Controls

    Section titled “New Pipeline Approvals & Portal Controls”

    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

    Section titled “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)

    Section titled “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

    Section titled “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.
  • announcement

    New Feature: STACKIT DNS Resolver enters Public Preview.

    Section titled “New Feature: STACKIT DNS Resolver enters Public Preview.”

    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

    Section titled “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

    Section titled “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.
