🧼 IMPROVED

We've made some performance enhancements to the:

• We are happy to announce that Brainboard is available for both: AWS Marketplace, Azure Marketplace
• Inheritance now supports multiple resources - While designing your cloud architecture, you can now move 2+ resources at the same time into a container.
• The Brainboard migration tool supports multi-lines strings.
• Export architecture as JSON - We added the export feature to allow all our users to either backup their architecture, to migrate them from one account to another one, to share them with the support when needed. You are now able to export and import any Brainboard architecture easily.
• Hide the default value for sensitive variables.
• Add the support of Terraform Cloud remote backend.
• All Terraform versions are now available in Brainboard CI/CD Engine.

🐞 FIXED

• You can now download / search the CI/CD output.
• We now list all your GitLab projects in Git configuration, before limited to 20.
• We fixed an error during pull request / merge request when the target branch already exists.
• Visual indicator when cloud resources are in Icon Only mode (Terraform code not generated)
• When using synced architectures, variables creation and updates are now synced to both / more architectures.
• We removed the issues linked to the scrolling and wrong colors on selection, in README.
• We removed quotes around ignore_changes (Terraform lifecycle options)
• Our new system will always choose the best Terraform file to show based on your architecture diagram.

Latest Terraform Providers' versions:  

In Brainboard, this applied for all cloud providers supported (Azure, OCI, GCP, Scaleway)

1. Use variables to define the regions you want to deploy your infrastructure in: By using Terraform variables; you can specify which regions you want to deploy your infrastructure in and make it easy to change or add regions in the future.
2. Use variables to define the specific resources in each region: By using Terraform variables, you can specify the specific resources you want to deploy in each region. This allows you to create different resource configurations for different regions easily.
3. Use variables to define the AMI ID: By using Terraform variables, you can specify the AMI ID (Amazon Machine Image) you want to use in each region. This allows you to use different AMIs for different regions.
4. Use variables to define the subnets and availability zones: By using Terraform variables, you can specify the subnets and availability zones that you want to use in each region. This allows you to use different subnets and availability zones for different regions.
5. Use variables to define the security group: Terraform variables can specify the security group you want to use in each region. This allows you to use different security groups for different regions.

variable "region" {
  default = "us-west-2"
}

resource "aws_instance" "example" {
  ami           = var.ami
  instance_type = "t2.micro"
  region        = var.region
}

We listened to your requests and just added OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) to Brainboard, your one-and-only IaC solution! 

• You can use Terraform to interact with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resources
• You can visually build your OCI cloud infrastructure and deploy it with ease
• You can import any existing OCI-based repo, public and private onto Brainboard
• You can convert all your OCI cloud infrastructures into reusable templates.

Introducing Import Azure

AWS GovCloud (US-West) and AWS GovCloud (US-East) are regions that are specifically designed to host sensitive data and regulated workloads in the cloud, and they are isolated to the US Government's infrastructure. These regions provide a high level of security and compliance.

Examples of the regions include:

• us-gov-east-1

• us-gov-west-1

• Azure: block settings + feature block page
• AWS: block settings
• Hashicorp/vault: block settings (as you can see the address is required and not optional)

This feature is mainly for users that won’t deploy within Brainboard but already have their git and some TF provider settings.
