Features

Certificate Manager (Let's Encrypt)

Accessible via the Domains menu in the left sidebar, the newly released Katapult Certificate Manager allows organizations to create, manage and store certificates, including:

  • The auto-generation of Let's Encrypt certificates for any hostname where DNS is managed within Katapult.
  • The uploading of custom certificates.
  • The creation of self-signed certificates for any hostname.

Enhancements

Several improvements have been made to the Katapult search functionality to extend its reach to almost all objects available from the Katapult Console.

  • Searches can now be filtered by type directly from the query with the format :. For instance, searching virtual_machine:test will only return VirtualMachine objects which match the query test.
  • A new search results page has been created to view searches that return large numbers of results, this page is filterable by type, and the results are paginated.
  • Several UI tweaks have also been made, including search results now listing the Organization that the result belongs to.
