Check out the newest features! The latest update to Ververica Platform has now been released and is generally available (GA) for all users.
This release includes a couple of new, exciting features and other improvements requested by the community. Below is a quick summary. Full details can be found in the 2.13.0 release notes.
Ververica Platform 2.13.0 supports the following versions:
Ververica Platform 2.13.0 supports Apache Flink 1.19, Apache Flink 1.18, and Apache Flink 1.17 under SLA.
Apache Flink Docker images are available for Stream Edition. Please check Ververica Platform Docker Images for all available Apache Flink images and additional tags.
Ververica Platform now supports Oracle in Flink SQL's JDBC catalog. This new offering joins MySQL and Postgres catalogs, significantly enhancing the platform's data exploration capabilities.
The Oracle Catalog is provided as a pluggable user-defined Catalog. The jar is available in the portal. For more information on requirements and configuration, check out the feature in the 2.13 release notes.
Ververica Platform has expanded its SSL support to cover job and session clusters, providing enhanced security for all deployment types. With this update, users can configure SSL in three distinct ways:
This update enhances security and offers greater flexibility and ease of SSL management across cluster types, ensuring compliance with enterprise security protocols. Check out the Pluggable Certificates documentation and Session Cluster SSL/TLS for more configuration information.
SQL Editor Query Preview functionality currently does not support SSL. You can still use Query Preview in a Session Cluster with SSL disabled. Alternatively, you can mimic Query Preview functionality by creating an SQL deployment with SSL enabled and a print-sink connector acting as a sink.
Ververica Platform now features enhanced audit log management, allowing direct streaming of audit logs to a specified Kafka topic. This new capability enables users to externalize audit logs without accessing them through the web UI or extracting them via the REST API. Users can now simplify log management and improve real-time monitoring and analysis by integrating audit log data into their existing Kafka environments.
This feature streamlines workflows, strengthens compliance and auditing processes, and makes audit log data more accessible and actionable. For more details, see the Audit Logs documentation.
We've improved the user interface interaction in Ververica Platform by resolving an issue with dropdown menus. Previously, dropdowns would stay open while scrolling, requiring users to click elsewhere to close them. Dropdowns will now automatically close when you scroll, providing a smoother and more intuitive user experience.
Fixing bugs is an integral part of our release cycle! The following bugs have been exterminated:
We've resolved an issue in Ververica Platform version 2.12.3 where specific deployment default settings were misinterpreted, causing errors when editing newly created deployments. This fix ensures consistent and error-free deployment editing.
And as always, we are stamping out vulnerabilities to ensure your deployments remain secure. To get a full list of the resolved vulnerabilities, check out the 2.13.0 release notes.
