The documentation portal now has information on medium-severity vulnerabilities reported by Intel. These vulnerabilities may allow local and authenticated attackers to access sensitive information.

May 15 We are excited to offer the Intel Sierra Forest Xeon Gen 6 processor as a new option for our Dedicated Core Server in our Compute Engine. This high-performance CPU delivers reliable and consistent computing power for even the most demanding applications. Its advanced architecture and 2.4 GHz clock speed ensure seamless execution of complex workloads, providing maximum efficiency and scalability. Sierra Forest will initially be available in the Berlin data center and gradually rolled out to other locations.

May 15 All Virtual Machines (VMs) running on Sierra Forest will require UEFI for startup, marking a significant shift as UEFI becomes the mandatory firmware for all Sierra Forest-based VMs. This change ensures a secure and efficient startup process, providing a modern, feature-rich environment compared to the legacy BIOS. For more information about the transition process, see Transition Private Images to UEFI.

May 13 IONOS CLOUD introduces a dedicated Security product grouping with the new simplified and streamlined DCD. This category combines products with related functions, such as Certificate Manager, Network Security Groups, and SSH Key Manager, into a single, organized section. With this update, the navigation path within the DCD is revised to reflect the new structure, making it easier for users to locate and access these security functions. The core functionality remains the same, and the updated navigation information can be found in each product's documentation.

May 2 Managed Kubernetes is releasing Kubernetes version 1.32. For more information about the schedule timeline, see Release Schedule. The updated schedule now also mentions the end-of-life dates for version 1.29.

May 13 The category Security has been renamed to Security Safeguards in the documentation portal to better align with its operation and function. The documentation related to IONOS CLOUD security best practice guidelines, reporting of security events, and vulnerability register has been moved to this section.
