After a period of robust end-to-end testing, we’re happy to confirm that our Kubernetes clusters are officially compatible with Agones.

Our load balancing service is now publicly available in our WAS3 data center location. With this addition, we can now offer customers operating out of the Washington DC, Metropolitan area access to dedicated server hosting with improved server efficiency and application performance, reduced network latency and faster response times.
We’ve made it easier for our customers to schedule hardware upgrades. When you send us a request to upgrade disks or RAM on your dedicated server, there’s now the option to specify a preferred time zone for your selected timeslot. In addition, you can also specify whether you want to receive your server turned on or powered down after the upgrade.
We’ve made functionality improvements to improve overall user experience for our customers. These include:
Assigning multiple certificate types on the same load balancer endpoint
Changing the default network for your dedicated server
Switching a cloud instance to rescue mode by adding an obsolete image to the Public API
New and improved widgets on the customer portal dashboard
We’ve released a new multi-accounts feature designed to enhance account and resource management and facilitate efficient oversight over multiple resources and user accounts within a single login.
The feature enables our customers to allocate resources effectively and invite team members to collaborate on projects, making it perfectly suited to businesses eager to experiment with different projects and ideas.
Key features include:
Configurable billing currency and address
Separate resource allocation for distinct accounts (aids invoicing and budgeting by keeping everything organized under individual accounts)
Account users can access multiple accounts and switch between accounts
Resources are isolated under specific accounts to prevent security breaches
The feature will be especially useful for businesses working across multiple regions and billing across different base currencies, as well as for anyone wanting to create separate accounts for standalone projects.
You can read more about the multi-accounts feature on our knowledge base.
