We're excited to announce Version v2.1.4 of the Hypervisor Control Panel! This release introduces Managed Databases with read replicas and automated backup policies, Forge live snapshots for instances, alongside security groups, Docker container management, WireGuard VPN gateways, and numerous improvements across the platform.

• [Feature] Managed Databases - Deploy fully managed MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL databases on VPC networks with automated provisioning, health monitoring, metrics dashboards, and hourly billing.
• [Feature] Read Replicas - Create read replicas from any primary database with engine-native replication, automated lag monitoring, resync, and one-click promotion.
• [Feature] Database Backup Policies - Automated, policy-driven backup management with configurable schedules, retention, S3 storage, and engine-specific tools (xtrabackup, pg_basebackup).
• [Feature] Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) - Restore databases to any point within the WAL/binlog retention window using PostgreSQL WAL archiving or MySQL binary logs.
• [Feature] Database Parameter Groups - Custom database configuration overrides (my.cnf / postgresql.conf) applied as reusable parameter groups.
• [Feature] Database Metrics - Real-time CPU, memory, disk, connections, and queries-per-second dashboards via Telegraf and VictoriaMetrics.
• [Feature] Forge (Live Snapshots) - Create live VM snapshots with full memory and disk state capture. Commit changes permanently or discard to revert instantly -- ideal for testing upgrades, configuration changes, or software updates.
• [Feature] Security Groups - Define inbound and outbound traffic rules using protocols, ports, and CIDR ranges. Attach security groups to instances for centralized network access control that replaces the per-instance firewall system.
• [Feature] IP Sets - Create reusable collections of IP addresses and CIDR ranges that can be referenced in security group rules. Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 with bulk import.
• [Feature] Firewall Migration - Existing per-instance firewall rules are automatically migrated into security groups during upgrade. CIDR-based rules are consolidated into IP sets for cleaner management.
• [Feature] Docker Manager - Manage Docker containers directly from the instance management page. Pull images, create and start containers, view logs, and manage container lifecycle without SSH access.
• [Feature] VPN Gateway - Deploy WireGuard-based VPN gateways on VPC networks for encrypted remote access (road-warrior) and site-to-site tunnels. Fully managed with automatic key generation, configuration push via QEMU Guest Agent, and hourly billing.
• [Feature] VPC Peering - Connect two VPC networks through their VPN gateways with a single click. Keys, tunnel IPs, endpoints, and routes are configured automatically on both sides. Supports cross-location peering over public IPs.

We're excited to announce Version v2.1.0 of the Hypervisor Control Panel! This release introduces managed load balancers, user automation scripts, project-based resource organization, a redesigned instance management page, and a host of improvements and bug fixes across the platform.

• [Feature] Load Balancers - Deploy fully managed HAProxy load balancers with port-based configuration blocks, SSL termination, health checks, session stickiness, connection draining, and backend node management. Supports both VPC and public deployment modes.
• [Feature] VPC-Optional Load Balancers - Load balancers can now be deployed without a VPC. Choose between VPC mode (private network balancing) or Public mode (direct public IP) during deployment.
• [Feature] LB Plans - Fine-grained resource control for load balancer instances with 21+ configurable fields including CPU topology, storage type, I/O limits, NIC type, and bandwidth settings.
• [Feature] User Scripts - Create reusable Bash, Python, or PowerShell scripts that execute automatically during instance deployment via cloud-init. Script content is encrypted at rest.
• [Feature] Projects - Organize your infrastructure by grouping instances, VPCs, load balancers, S3 buckets, SSH keys, and user scripts into logical projects with resource counts and filtering.
• [Feature] Instance Manage Redesign - Completely rebuilt instance management page with sidebar navigation, sticky header with power controls, and dedicated tabs for overview, graphs, storage, firewall, backups, network, settings, and destruction.

We're excited to announce Live Migration support in the Hypervisor Control Panel! This game-changing feature allows you to move running virtual machines between hypervisors with less than 1 second of downtime, eliminating service interruptions during maintenance, load balancing, or
infrastructure optimization.

What is Live Migration?​

Live migration is an advanced virtualization technique that transfers a running virtual machine from one physical host to another while keeping it online and operational. Unlike traditional "cold" migrations that require shutting down the VM, live migration maintains active connections, running
processes, and user sessions throughout the entire migration process.
