Improvements to Notifications

We have redesigned the pages in Notifications to provide a clearer view of your personal and organization notifications. It is easier now to browse notifications by Email, Slack, Webhook or Microsoft Teams by selecting the appropiate tab at the top of the page.

We have also redesigned the create workflow. The first step allows you to select the target Segment and notification destination. The second step allows selecting the notifications you wish to receive.

Stax Python SDK v1.1.3 released

Version 1.1.3 of the Python SDK has been released.

This change introduces a bug fix to ensure that credentials don't expire before the SDK has a chance to renew them, and removes some functionality that wasn't being used.

For more details about the Python SDK, check it out on Github.

Additional Stax Networks S3 Interface Endpoint Record

Stax Networks will now create an additional *.s3.{region}.amazonaws.com wildcard Hosted Zone record when enabling the S3 Interface Endpoint.

This additional hosted zone record will simplify the use of the S3 Interface Endpoint and allow it to work with other AWS services, such as AWS SSM Session Manager.

If you are currently using an S3 Interface Endpoint, then you can edit your Networking Hub to toggle the S3 Interface Endpoint off, then on to perform the update.

Workloads Performance Fix

An update has been applied to Stax Workloads to improve performance and reliability:

  • Fixed a bug where the deployment tasks where not queued correctly. Workloads will now correctly execute a maximum of 50 deployments concurrently, per Stax organization. Additional deploy requests will be queued and actioned once capacity becomes available.

These changes have been applied automatically by Stax. There is no impact to service expected as a result of this upgrade.

Response to Codecov Security Advisory

On the 15th of April 2021, Codecov notified its users of a security event that had impacted its systems.

At Stax, we believe that security and transparency is of the upmost importance and as such are informing our customers of this event.

No customer action is required, and no customer data has been impacted as a result of this advisory.

Stax's exposure is limited to the use of a GitHub action on the Python SDK code repository. This event has no impact on the Stax platform.

We have responded by following the recommendations provided by Codecov. Artefacts produced by our CI/CD pipeline have been audited and no indicators of compromise were found.

Additional Stax Networks Restricted Subnet Endpoint NACL

Stax Networks has created an additional NACL entry for the Restricted Subnet. This allows return TCP traffic from the Networking Hub's Endpoint subnets.

By allowing this return traffic your resources within the Restricted Subnet will be able to utilize the Networking Hub's Interface Endpoints.

The new NACL entry will be created as rule number 130 on the Restrict subnet NACL and will be created on the next update of your VPC with Stax.

If you would like to update your VPC without making any changes to its configuration, you can edit your Networking Hub to modify the tags and trigger an update.

  • CodeDeploy Commands Secure (codedeploy-commands-secure)
  • RDS (rds)
  • RDS Data (rds-data)
  • S3 (s3-interface)

You can enable these Interface Endpoints for new and existing Networking Hubs using the Stax Console, API, or SDK. See Manage Networking Hubs for more.

Updated Notifications Experience and Microsoft Teams Functionality

The Notifications page has been redesigned to provide a more intuitive and simple user experience. Notifications are now managed through a tabulated window, with each delivery channel located on a seperate tab.

Stax also now supports sending notifications via Microsoft Teams, in addition to the existing email, webhook, and Slack delivery channels. Simply create an incoming webhook for your Teams channel and select the notifications you'd like to receive. For more information, see the documentation.
