    Replace MOSS API with Server Backup, Server Update and IaaS APIs

    15. Apr. 2025

    We would like to inform you that we have replaced MOSS API, which was accessible via this url with Server Backup Management API, Server Update Management API and IaaS API.

    This change allows you to use the services with the same authentication as all other STACKIT services. The Server Backup and Update management can also be used in STACKIT CLI and STACKIT Terraform providers.

    Previous endpoints in MOSS API related to servers, server backups and server updates will stop to work on October 15th, 2025.

    Recommended Action: We encourage you to migrate your automations to use the latest versions of the APIs.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us via support ticket.

    Server Update Management: Update process changed to improve the reliability

    26. Sept. 2024

    In order to improve the reliability and the security we have implemented a change in the process which we use to trigger the update installation on your servers.

    Until now we were using a process in which:

    • STACKIT administration user was created in all servers which use the Server Update Management Service
    • STACKIT management security groups were attached to your servers to allow access
    • Additional scripts needed to be downloaded and run if the service was enabled after the server was created

    Now we have started to use STACKIT Server Agent running as a service on your servers. It will make the process more reliable as it does not depend on other settings in the operating system or in the security groups. If you have the agent installed, you do not need to run additional scripts to configure the update service after server creation.

    In order for the update process to work properly, please do not stop or uninstall the agent. We have automatically installed it on your servers with active update management process.

    If any settings were changed that prevented the update process from working properly until now, they might have also affected the automated installation of the agent. In these cases, please install the STACKIT Server Agent manually following this guideline.
