Even though it’s getting warmer outside, we’re still working hard to make your gridscale experience the best it can be. New pricing boxes, a clearer view of Partner and billing settings, and much more await you in this edition of News from the Machine Room.

Let’s take a look at the latest developments at gridscale together!

User Data now available in many more places

1. User data for terraform users

We recently added User Data to our servers. Now we have updated the gridscale Terraform Provider so that our users can benefit from this feature here as well.

2. User data is now also usable for gsclient-go

We released two new versions of gsclient-go in May. Version 3.12.0 supports adding user data when creating and updating servers. Version 3.12.1 only fixes a small bug in the handling of object storage access keys.

3. New version of gscloud released

Also gscloud now supports adding User Data in the latest version 0.13.0.

Keep an eye on your costs at all times with our new clear price boxes.

We have redesigned the price boxes in the Cloud Panel.

In the past, it was often unclear to users what time unit they were being charged in and what factors determined the price of a product – for our PaaS services, it is the automatically adjusted resources. The pricing was also not always consistent.

We have now changed that. We have developed a single price box that can be modularly adapted to each product.

For you, this means a clearer and more transparent view of your costs. No more question marks about the cost of your products.

Just build the infrastructure you need and get started!

Better overview thanks to split Partner and billing settings

We have moved all the information that affects you as a Partner from the main menu to the submenu.

From now on, you can find all your invoices and billing information here, and also download multiple invoices with a single action from the Partner Panel.

The Billing Overview remains in its usual place in the main menu. We have redesigned it slightly to give you an even better overview of your sales.

API tokens are now located in the user settings, accessible from the menu in the top right corner. This is also part of the separation of the Personal Settings and Partner Settings submenus.

Rocket Storage Support now available for GSK 🚀

In the latest GSK version 1.26.5, we now support Rocket Storage for provisioning local PVCs for workloads that require storage with extreme IOPs. Want to know how to use your Rocket Storage with GSK? Check out our product documentation.
