Why Spring Cloud Services Will Revolutionize Your App Architecture

Spring Cloud Services for Cloud Foundry v3.3 is here! It provides new features and enhancements to improve your development and operational experience. Check out the release notes here.

New features and enhancements

Enhanced Dashboard UI: Manage and monitor easier
The dashboard pages have been updated with an improved user interface for service instances. This enhancement provides a more intuitive and streamlined experience in managing and monitoring your service instances more easily. This change offers better security and is in real-time.

Improved Service Configuration Validation: Reduce errors
Configuration validation has been enhanced to reject unknown properties for service instances. This enables only valid configurations to be applied, reducing the risk of errors and improving the reliability of your bound applications.

Config Server and Actuator Endpoint Exposure: Simplify configuration secrets
Config Server instances now support a default label for CredHub and Vault secret management backends. This addition simplifies the management of secrets provided for bound applications. Additionally, actuator endpoints for service instances are limited to health, info, and environment endpoints to enhance security and enable more focused platform monitoring. Lastly, access to Config Server’s mirror refresh endpoint has been updated, allowing restricted access exclusively for administrators and space developers to maintain a more secure and efficient environment.
