    Aiven Console

    Aiven for Apache Cassandra® available by 31 Dec 2025

    Aiven for Apache Cassandra® is approaching its end of life on the Aiven Platform.

    End of availability: 30 November 2025

    After this date, you can no longer create new Aiven for Apache Cassandra services. Existing services continue to operate until the end of life (EOL) date.

    End of life: 31 December 2025

    After 31 December 2025, all active Aiven for Apache Cassandra services are powered off and deleted, making data from these services inaccessible.

    To ensure uninterrupted service with no data loss, complete your migration out of Aiven for Apache Cassandra before 31 December 2025. For further assistance, contact your account team.

    Aiven Console

    IP allowlists now available for organizations and tokens

    You can now set allowed IP address ranges to restrict access to to specific IP address ranges of trusted networks. At the organization level, these ranges can be set as part of the organization’s authentication policy. Additionally, IP allowlists are supported for personal tokens and application tokens. These settings help you minimize exposure, reduce the risk of breaches, and comply with policies and regulations.

    Improved

    Aiven for Valkey™

    Aiven for Valkey™ version 8.0

    Aiven for Valkey version 8.0 is now available on the Aiven Platform. It introduces multiple improvements on top of version 7.2. If you upgrade from Aiven for Caching to Aiven for Valkey, your service will run on version 8.0 after the upgrade.

    Highlights

    • Performance improvements
      • Asynchronous I/O Threading: Enables parallel processing of commands and I/O operations, maximizing throughput and minimizing bottlenecks.
      • Intelligent Core Utilization: Distributes I/O tasks across multiple cores based on realtime usage, reducing idle time and improving energy efficiency.
      • Command Batching: Optimizes memory access patterns by prefetching frequently accessed data to minimize CPU cache misses, reducing memory accesses required for dictionary operations.
    • Efficiency improvements
      • Reduction of the memory overhead of keys, allowing you to store more data without any application changes: Keys are now embedded in the main dictionary, eliminating separate key pointers and significantly reducing memory overhead. This results in a 9-10% reduction in overall memory usage for scenarios with 16-byte keys and 8 or 16-byte values, along with performance improvements.
      • Improved Pub/Sub Efficiency: Lightweight cluster messages streamline communication and reduce overhead for faster, more efficient Pub/Sub operations.
    • Replication improvements
      • Reduced Memory Load: By streaming replication data to the replica during the full sync, the primary node experiences significantly less memory pressure. The replica now manages the Client Output Buffer (COB) tracking, reducing the likelihood of COB overruns and enabling larger COB sizes on the replica side.
      • Reduced Parent Process Load: A dedicated connection for RDB transfer frees the primary's parent process from handling this data, allowing it to focus on client queries and improving overall responsiveness.

    See the release notes for more details.

    Aiven for Apache Kafka® Connect

    Multi-version support for Apache Kafka Connect connectors

    Aiven for Apache Kafka Connect® now supports managing connector versions, enabling you to pin specific versions, test upgrades, and prevent compatibility issues caused by automatic updates. Multi-version support is available for dedicated Kafka Connect services. If you pin a deprecated version, the system sends a notification recommending an upgrade to a supported version for optimal performance and stability.

    Currently, only a limited set of plugins and versions is supported. You can manage connector versions using the Aiven API, Aiven CLI, and Terraform. Support for the Aiven Console will be available soon.

    For more information, see Manage connector versions.

    Aiven Terraform provider

    Aiven Provider for Terraform version 4.32.0 now available

    This version supports quotas in Aiven for Apache Kafka® services with the new aiven_kafka_quota resource, enabling better management and control of Kafka resource usage through Terraform. Quotas ensure fair resource allocation, stability, and efficiency in your Kafka clusters.

    The following fields have also been added to the aiven_opensearch resource and data source in this release:

    • opensearch_user_config.opensearch.cluster_routing_allocation_balance_prefer_primary: When set to true, OpenSearch attempts to evenly distribute the primary shards between the cluster nodes.
    • opensearch_user_config.opensearch.segrep: When set to true, it enables segment replication backpressure, a shard-level rejection mechanism that dynamically rejects indexing requests as replica shards in your cluster fall behind primary shards.

    For more details on fixes and updates, view the complete Aiven Provider for Terraform changelog.

    New granular roles and permissions

    Aiven has launched new roles and permissions that let you give users only the access they need for your organization’s resources, boosting security and efficiency.

    Key highlights of this feature are:

    • Roles and permissions at different levels: Grant access at the organization, unit and project level.
    • Tailored access rules: Assign permissions to individual users or groups, ensuring users only have access they need to do their jobs.
    • Streamlined workflows: There’s a single Aiven API and Aiven Terraform Provider resource to grant roles and permissions following the resource, principal, and action methodology.

    Learn more about the new roles and permissions and get started by granting access to your organization, units, or projects.
