Changelog #3

Recipe previews, Azure Repos, multi-select improvements

Dec 12, 2024

Our last two changelogs have been really eventful, with significant new features like Workflows and Deployments. While you all are trying those features out, we took this week to address your feedback on developing Private Apps. And by request, we added support for Microsoft Azure Repos, which you can now use as a resource in your recipes.

Join our Slack community if you have any questions, book time with our team, or DM us on LinkedIn, X, or BlueSky.

Spotlights

Recipe Previews with Screenshots and Sharing

You can now customize how you share your Tempest recipes. The new preview page shows the creator, their team, and what resources the recipe provisions. Add a custom message for your users and up to 6 screenshots to help them get started. Check out the new "Display" tab in your recipe editor to try it out.

Microsoft Azure Repos support

Azure Repos are now available in your Tempest recipes. Import your codebase to build container images and connect with other resources, or bring in repos to assign ownership and organize with classifications.

Multi-select improvements

We've revamped multi-select in Tempest, starting with People & Teams pages, with all pages updating next week. Since keeping your software catalog up to date is crucial for managing lots of resources and teams, we've made bulk editing ownership much faster and more intuitive. Let us know what you think!

Improvements & Bug Fixes

Security

  • We've laid the groundwork to make role-based access control (RBAC) more transparent in Tempest. While your data and operations are already protected by user and team roles, we're working to better surface how these permissions affect your experience. These backend changes set the foundation for upcoming features.

  • Changed the default TTL for your Tempest API keys to 1 year. This is mostly a QoL change, you can still configure a shorter TTL, and manually revoke keys.

New apps & updates

  • Added support for Microsoft Azure Repos

Recipes, projects, deployments

  • In your projects, the resources page has been improved. Links to external dashboards have been moved outside of the previously hard to see “…” menu and into a dedicated button.

  • Private Apps name, icon, and description can now be deleted.

  • Private Apps can now be deleted.

  • Fixed a bug where external links in Projects > My Project > Resources could be undefined.

  • Fixed a bug where the sort order for recipe drafts was useless. They’re now sorted by last updated.

  • Fixed a bug where deployments would take a long time to be rescheduled if they suffered a transient failure.

  • Fixed a bug where the recipe provisioning summary was missing for Workflow recipes

  • Fixed a bug that occasionally prevented secret environment variables from getting delivered

User Management

  • Added bulk actions for user management on the People and Teams pages. You can assign users to teams by selecting them and using the right-click menu.
