v53

• Use EBS disks for ephemeral disk (/var/vcap/data) instead of instance storage
  • Very convenient when shutting down and starting up large number of machines directly in AWS
  • Can opt-in to use instance storage via ephemeral_disk.use_instance_storage=true
• Allow encryption of ephemeral disks via ephemeral_disk.encrypted=true property
• Allow use of new volume types: st1 and sc1 for ephemeral and persistent disks
• Allow mixing of security group names and IDs and be very explicit when exactly one security group cannot be found

v52

• Return a more meaningful error, when an invalid region was configured
• Retry InvalidInstanceID error when trying to associate elastic IP
• Return error if stemcell cannot be deleted due to authorization error
  • Use bosh delete stemcell X --force to ignore this error if necessary

v51

• Fixes marking stemcells as "light" when light stemcell is imported
  • This was more of a cosmetic change

v50

• Updated aws.max_retries property to be 8 by default

v49

[Note: Default value for aws.max_retries is currently set to 2. We will be issuing v50 shortly to bump it to 10.]

Improvements:

• Switch to using AWS SDK retry mechanism for rate limit errors
  • aws.max_retries property allows changing number of retries to make
• Added aws.connection_options.ca_cert property to specify custom CA certs
• Fixes spot instance creation on dynamic networks
• Fixes IAM instance profile support for spot instances

Dev:

• Updated Ruby to 2.2.4
• Removed several unnecessary gem dependencies

v48

Fixes:

• Respect aws.stemcell.kernel_id property
• Default to HVM virtualization type in the CPI

v47

• Encode registry password when rendering URI
• Switch default virtualization type to HVM when creating stemcells
  • Stemcells can still specify virtualization_type: paravirtual in stemcell.MF's cloud properties
• Deprecate configure_networks CPI call

v46

• Allow to specify security_groups as part of create_vm CPI call (can be used with VM extensions / resource pools)
  • from PR #28
• Support aws.ec2_endpoint and aws.elb_endpoint properties
  • When provided region is optional

v45

• Reconfigure credentials provider so that IAM instance profile credentials fetching is retries upon failure

v44

• Exposed AWS SDK retry option (max_retries) with default of 2
