[bbiggerr]

Added

• You can now utilize cloud-init with our new Metadata service to automatically configure and install software to compute instance!

  When using the Linode Create command, enter your cloud-config data as a base64-encoded string to the new metadata.user_data property.

  Compatible Images can be determined by looking for cloud-init under the new capabilities list.

  Compatible Regions can be determined by looking for Metadata under the new capabilities list.

  BETA This feature is in beta and is currently limited to certain Regions and distributions. Please be aware that this feature may receive breaking updates in the future.

• Regions Availability List (GET /regions/availability)

  Region Availability View (GET /regions/{regionId}/availability)

  • You can use these new commands to view the availability of select premium and GPU compute instance types according to Region, which are currently in high demand. These commands may be expanded to cover additional compute instance types in the future.

Fixed

• Fixed a bug that prevented filtering results from Managed Databases endpoints.

• Fixed a bug that allowed Block Storage Volume Detach requests for Volumes that were still attached to deleted Linodes. When a Linode is deleted, any attached Volumes are automatically scheduled to be detached.
