    Aiven Provider for Terraform version 4.51.0 now available

    This release improves PrivateLink management with enhanced GCP PrivateLink connection approval through the new psc_connection_id field in aiven_gcp_privatelink_connection_approval.

Additionally, privatelink_connection_id support has been added across all service resources and data sources.

    Other key improvements in this release include:

    • Enhanced Valkey user management: ACL fields (valkey_acl_categories, valkey_acl_commands, valkey_acl_keys, valkey_acl_channels) can now be updated in-place without forcing resource recreation
    • Improved Kafka topic handling: Better support for infinite retention with retention_bytes = -1
    • OpenSearch 3.3 support: The latest OpenSearch version is now available

    This release also includes various bug fixes for MySQL user password updates, service cloud name handling, and billing group configurations. For complete details on all fixes and updates, view the full Aiven Provider for Terraform changelog.

    IPv6 client connectivity for Aiven for Apache Kafka® (Early availability)

    Aiven for Apache Kafka® now supports dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity. When enabled, Kafka clients can connect using either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. The feature is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting the service user configuration enable_ipv6 to true.
    This change may affect existing clients that connect over private network routes. Validate the behavior in a non-production environment before enabling it in production.

    For more information, see Enable IPv6 connectivity for Aiven for Apache Kafka®.

    Google external account credential restrictions for Apache Kafka Connect

    Aiven for Apache Kafka Connect validates Google Cloud external account credentials to block unsupported credential sources and requires allow-listing authentication URLs using gcp_auth_allowed_urls. File- and command-based credential sources are not supported.

    Impact:

    If a connector uses credential_source.url, configure gcp_auth_allowed_urls at the Kafka Connect service level. Connectors using file- or command-based credential sources fail validation.

    New high availability architecture for Aiven for PostgreSQL®

    We are introducing a redesigned architecture for Aiven for PostgreSQL®. This is a limited availability (LA) feature focusing on improved resilience, faster maintenance, a better upgrade experience, service reliability and performance. Once enabled for a project or an organization, it becomes the default for all new Aiven for PostgreSQL services.

    Key changes include:

    • Improved backup and startup times: Faster backups lead to shorter maintenance windows and significantly reduced service startup times.
    • Enhanced HA handling: The architecture provides greater resilience against network partitions and outages, and a new API allows you to trigger manual switchovers.
    • Rapid multi-node deployment: Optimized processes allow for faster startup times for multi-node service plans.
    • Streamlined pg_upgrade experience: Standby nodes now upgrade in-place, eliminating the wait times for multi-node services to become fully available after an upgrade.
    • Maintenance efficiency: Parallel node provisioning reduces the total time required for maintenance and synchronization for multi-node service plans.
