NGINX Instance Manager 2.0.0 release notes

What’s new

This release includes the following updates:

• (Experimental) Share a configuration across multiple instances

  With a feature called Instance Groups, you can share the same configuration across multiple instances. So, if your website requires a number of instances to support the load, you can publish the same configuration to each instance with ease.

• More metrics and instance dashboards

  Instance Manager now collects additional metrics from the NGINX instances. We also added pre-configured dashboards to the web interface for each NGINX instance managed by Instance Manager. See the Catalog Reference documentation for a complete list of metrics.

• New architecture!

  We redesigned and improved the architecture of Instance Manager!

• Improved user access control

  Instance Manager 2.x. allows you to create user access controls with tags. Administrators can grant users read or write access to perform instance management tasks. And admins can grant or restrict access to the Settings options, such as managing licenses and creating users and roles. See the Set up Authentication guide for more details.
