Search Workloads by name with partial matching

Stax

Stax Team

Users of Workloads can now search the list of deployed Workloads by name, including using partial name matches. For example, searching for "myapp" will return results for "myapp" and "myapplication".

Previously the name search worked by filtering results client-side. This search capability is now performed server-side which allows searching much larger sets of results.

Configuration options have been added to the AWS Accounts Foundation Services page to allow you to fine-tune security protections for all Stax-managed AWS Accounts.

A new toggle to require Instance Metadata Service Version 2 (IMDSv2) has been added. IMDSv2 compliance is included in the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark.

Before enabling this protection please ensure that your AWS environment is compatible with IMDSv2

This can be further enforced by appling the two Guardrails:

  • Block changes to the EC2 Instance Metadata Service Defaults
  • Block optional as a value for IDMS for EC2 Instance Run and Modify

For more information, refer to the documentation on Configure AWS Accounts.

Stax now supports updating AWS account names

Using the Stax Console, API, or SDK, you can now update the AWS Account name of Stax-managed AWS accounts. A new field will display the AWS Account name for a Stax-managed AWS account when viewing, onboarding or updating a Stax-managed account.

When a new Stax-managed AWS account is provisioned, Stax will name this AWS Account the same as the provided Stax name. When a new Stax-managed AWS account is onboarded through discovery the additional AWS Account name field allows you to rename the AWS Account at the same time as it becomes Stax-managed.

See Edit a Stax-Managed AWS Account for more information and to get started.

Stax now supports AWS region disablement

Stax Team

Stax-managed AWS Organizations can now disable regions via the Stax console, providing protections against access to regions that are not used by your Stax-managed AWS Organization.

As part of this feature, all Stax-managed AWS Organizations will also see the following changes to their Service Control Policies:

  • stax-protection-unsupported-region/stax-protection-unsupported-resell will be removed from the AWS Organization root
  • FullAWSAccess will be removed from the AWS Organization root
  • StaxFullAWSAccess will be created and attached to the AWS Organization root. This policy is a combination of the two aforementioned policies, allowing more service control policies to be attached to the Organization root.

For more information, refer to the documentation on Using Stax-managed AWS Regions.
