Enhancements and bug fixes - Late August 2024

The following changes are included in this release.

Extend API to support GCP. Updates the GET /deployments/byok-configuration-parameters?region=$region endpoint to support the GCP region.

Elastic Cloud SAML SSO [preview] This functionality is in technical preview and may be changed or removed in a future release. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features. You can now register your organization’s SAML 2.0 identity provider with Elastic Cloud. This feature enables your organization members to authenticate by using your IdP and join your Elastic Cloud organization automatically. Check out Configure Elastic Cloud SAML SSO.

Update project ID for metering rules. Updates the project ID for the Cloud security rules.

Validate email on invite. Enhanced the invite API to include email validation, aligning it with the existing validation process of the sign-up API. Email validation is now using the Apache email validation to align with the front end validation.

Kibana on port 443 by default. All new deployments can use Kibana on port 443 by default, including UI and API. All existing deployments will also have the option to migrate to port 443 through the Cloud UI.

Add a query parameter to hide deprecated deployment templates. The new query parameter for the endpoint https://api.elastic-cloud.com/api/v1/deployments/templates?region=us-west-2&hide_deprecated=true returns only the deployment templates that are not deprecated. Refer to Available regions, deployment templates and instance configurations.

Note that you can also list only the deprecated deployment templates with https://api.elastic-cloud.com/api/v1/deployments/templates?region=us-west-2&metadata=legacy:true.

Add highlighting to selected side navigation items. Fixes a bug in which selected side navigation items are not highlighted.

Scope the ability to update role assignments to deployments or project type. Fixes an issue where a deployment or project admin with privileges on another project type or deployment could assign equivalent privileges on that project type or deployment to another organization member.
