Amazon Web Services (AWS) region support SaaS

You can choose to host your Camunda 8 SaaS clusters in two new Amazon Web Services (AWS) regions:

• Frankfurt, Europe (eu-central-1)
• North America, Virginia (us-east-1)

You can select one of these AWS regions when creating a new cluster. You can continue to choose from our Google Cloud Platform (GCP) region options.

To learn more about available Camunda 8 SaaS regions, see regions.

note

The following limitations currently apply for AWS regions:

• Backups are stored on GCP.
• HTTP connectors continue to route through GCP.

Web Modeler

Deploy diagram change Self-Managed

With this version, we ship a breaking change to how Web Modeler Deploy diagram modals work. Clusters must now be proactively configured to be able to deploy from Web Modeler.

• In 8.6, you could still configure cluster details on the Deploy diagram modal when deploying.
• In 8.7, you can no longer configure cluster details on the Deploy diagram modal. You must configure the cluster to be able to deploy from this modal.
• Note that you must also be assigned the Zeebe Identity role to be able to deploy.

Milestones renamed to versions

The term "milestones" has been renamed to "versions" in Web Modeler for clarity and consistency with other Camunda 8 components. The renaming is implemented across the Web Modeler user interface and the API.

In the API, new endpoints starting with /api/v1/versions have been introduced, while the previous /api/v1/milestones endpoints are now deprecated. Further details can be found in Web Modeler's OpenAPI documentation.

note

This is a nominal update and the functionality of versions and milestones is equivalent.

Southeast Asia region for SaaS customers SaaS

SaaS customers can now create orchestration clusters in the Singapore (asia-southeast1) region, ensuring lower latency and improved processing speed for organizations operating in southeast Asian countries.
