    General Availability of STACKIT Telemetry Router (GA)

    Jun 2, 2026

    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

    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.

    By leveraging 4-bit (MXFP4) quantization, this new 20-billion parameter model provides a significant boost in reasoning capabilities while maintaining the low-latency performance our customers expect. Applications such as real-time chatbots, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and agentic workflows will benefit from improved tool-calling and higher throughput.

    Deprecation Notice

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

    • neuralmagic/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407-FP8
    • neuralmagic/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-FP8

    We kindly ask all customers to migrate their workloads to the new model openai/gpt-oss-20b before 4 June 2026.

    Default Grafana admin deprecation

    Dec 15, 2025

    We would like to inform you that the Observability default Grafana admin user, created during instance provisioning, is now deprecated and will be removed on 11 January 2027, if the credentials have not been changed. From this date on, also the creation of a default admin user for new instances will no longer be supported.

    For security reasons, we recommend removing this default user right now and using STACKIT SSO (or your own SSO provider) instead. More information about Grafana SSO can be found in the Configure Grafana Access documentation. To remove this default user, we have introduced a new attribute in the Observability API instance update endpoint and a new button in the Portal.

    Additionally, you can already decide whether the default admin user should be created during provisioning. We have added a corresponding attribute in the Observability API instance creation endpoint as well as a new dialog in the Portal provisioning flow.

    Please be aware that once the default admin user is removed or the creation of it is skipped, it cannot be recreated via the API or the Portal. However, it will still be possible to manually create Basic Authentication users in the Grafana UI.

    Another benefit of removing the default admin is that it frees up a user slot. This allows you to utilize the full user limit defined in your plan (e.g. all 5 slots of the smallest plan) for real users via SSO.

    STACKIT Kubernetes Engine (SKE): New Resource Reservations

    May 21, 2025

    To ensure the stability of your Kubernetes clusters, SKE reserves resources on all nodes of the cluster to provide memory and CPU for system components. The amount of reserved resources varies depending on the size of the respective nodes.

    New Kubernetes clusters created from 21 July 2025 will have changes in their available resources. We will adjust the amount of reserved resources by SKE and utilize the calculation as described below.

    Memory reservations

    For memory resources, SKE reserves the following:

    • 25% of the first 4 GiB of memory
    • 20% of the next 4 GiB of memory
    • 10% of the next 8 GiB of memory
    • 6% of the next 112 GiB of memory
    • 2% of any memory above 128 GiB
    • SKE also reserves an additional 100 MiB of memory on every node to handle Pod eviction.

    CPU reservations

    For CPU resources, SKE reserves the following:

    • 3.5% of the first 2 cores
    • 0.5% of the next 2 cores
    • 0.25% of any cores above 4 cores

    Existing Kubernetes clusters will (currently) remain unchanged in their available resources and will be adjusted on 22 July 2025. Thus, a node roll will be triggered on the next given maintenance window of the cluster.

    Server Update Management: Update process changed to improve the reliability

    Sep 26, 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.

    STACKIT Kubernetes Engine (SKE): Disable System Components in Node Pools

    Jul 8, 2024

    Today, we introduced a new option to give you more control over the resource usage of your SKE clusters: you can now disable system components on selected node pools. To use this new feature, you need to set the new field allowSystemComponents to false in the node pool configuration of your cluster. However, at least one node pool per cluster needs to have system components enabled.

    Here is an example:

    Disable System Components

    kubernetes:
      version: "1.29"
    nodepools:
    - name: "pool 1"
      allowSystemComponents: true
      # ...more configuration options
    - name: "pool 2"
      allowSystemComponents: false
      # ...more configuration options
    - name: "pool 3"
      allowSystemComponents: false
      # ...more configuration options

    In the future, this option will be available in the STACKIT Cloud Portal.

    Kubernetes version 1.26 is getting deprecated in SKE

    Kubernetes version 1.26 has reached the end of its official maintenance support. Therefore, we will remove this version from the STACKIT Kubernetes Engine (SKE). We will automatically update all clusters running with Kubernetes version 1.26 to 1.27 on 31 July 2024.

    We already support three newer Kubernetes versions (1.27, 1.28 & 1.29). Please update your clusters soon.

    In case you have questions you can find more information regarding the v1.27 Kubernetes version here & our SKE updating process here.

    Change for accessing your SKE cluster:

    Please note that Kubernetes version 1.27 no longer supports static token kubeconfigs. Instead, you can create short-live admin kubeconfigs. This change increases the security of your SKE cluster as you can limit the validity of a specific kubeconfig to a specific time period.

    You can already use the new short-lived admin kubeconfigs with Kubernetes version 1.26. However, once you start using the new short-lived admin kubeconfigs, the old method of getting static token kubeconfigs will no longer work. Further information can be found in our STACKIT documentation.

    May 6, 2022

    On 12 May 2022 the STACKIT Cloud Foundry introduces a new load balancer in front of all applications running on the platform.

    This also means that the IP Addresses of the *.apps and *.system domains change to the IP Address of the new load balancer starting on 12 May 2022. The new IP Addresses will be:

    • Public Cloud Foundry Instance: 185.86.188.7
    • Internal Cloud Foundry Instance: 10.203.8.51

    This change means for you: If you have any Firewall Rule set to the current IP Address of the *.apps or *.system domains of the internal as well as the public Cloud Foundry Instances, you have to add the new IP Addresses, or the Firewall will block traffic to your application after the new load balancer is rolled out.
