Chapter 2. Enhancements

Account credentials changeability option

With this release, you have an option that you can invoke externally to change the Multicloud Object Gateway (MCG) default account credentials. You can change and rotate credentials using the command-line interface to prevent issues with the applications. This option enables you to manage the credentials for all the service accounts in the system. For more details, see the Changing the default account credentials to ensure better security in the Multicloud Object Gateway.

Lifecycle policy for object expiration for the data buckets

Previously, the MCG was not aligned with newer lifecycle APIs. With this release update, MCG is now compatible with the lifecycle rest API and supports object expiration for the data buckets.

Termination policy added to the S3 route

Adding the insecureEdgeTerminationPolicy to the s3-rout.yaml adds the ability to change it from its default (Allow) to Allow, Disable or Redirect.
