• Multi S3 Storage Support: Introduced support for deploying multiple S3 Object Storage within a single Ceph cluster.
• Enterprise Identity Management:
  ○ Enabled RGW integration with Windows Active Directory via LDAP authentication for centralized user management.
  ○ Implemented AWS IAM-compatible user and access control capabilities for granular permissions.
• Lifecycle Tiering: UVS Manager now supports configuring S3 object lifecycle tiering. Users can define Ceph Object Storage Classes and Placement Targets, mapping these to designated data and index pools.
• Multi-Realm/Zone Group Administration: UVS Manager now fully supports the administration of RGW users and buckets in complex multi-realm and multi-zone group configurations.
• Security and Certificates:
  ○ Added support for RGW Server-Side Encryption (SSE) to enhance data security.
  ○ Users can now update the SSL certificate for individual RGW services directly through the UVS Manager web UI.
• High Availability & Load Balancing: Integrated LVS (Linux Virtual Server) and Keepalived for robust RGW load balancing and high availability.
• Port Configuration Safety: Improved port assignment safety by allowing users to check the availability of RGW endpoint IPv4 ports before configuration.
• Consolidated Management: Consolidated RGW pool management within the main UVS Manager Ceph Pool Management page for unified administration.

• OSD Failover/Failback: Added Ceph OSD failover and failback support specifically for SBB (Storage Bridge Bay) storage servers, increasing host failure protection.
• Erasure Code Profiles: Introduced support for creating custom Erasure Code (EC) profiles that allow saving multiple EC chunks across a single failure domain, providing greater control over data distribution resilience.
• RBD Trash Bin: Users can now move Ceph Block Devices (RBDs) to a trash bin and configure a data retention time directly from the UVS Manager web UI.
• Resource Management: Enabled the reservation of unallocated NVMe SSD partitions, allowing administrators to secure space for future HDD capacity expansion projects.
• CRUSH Bucket Mobility: Enhanced the convenience and ease of moving CRUSH buckets within the CRUSH tree structure.
• Dashboard Clarity: Enhanced the UVS dashboard PG (Placement Group) status display using color-coding for easier and faster identification of cluster health.

• Pool Deletion Safety: Improved data safety by requiring the user to explicitly enter the RADOS pool name for confirmation before deletion.
• Configuration Safety: Reduced the risk of data loss by disabling the ability to reduce the RBD size via the UVS web UI.
• Networking Configuration: Added support for VLAN and bonding mode configuration within the UVS admin terminal UI for advanced network setup.
• Security Policy: Prohibited the administrative user from using SSH to access other hosts from the UVS management node, isolating control access.
• Alert Configuration: UVS Manager alert settings now support configuring SMTP users that do not require a password for configuration.
• Deprecated Feature: The RADOS pool cache tiering configuration option has been removed (deprecated) from the web UI.
