Improved

More direct roads to Big Tech, and a big shiny API update​

We’ve been busy behind the scenes making Webdock even snappier 😇

We’ve just rolled out new private interconnects in our POPs, giving us direct paths into some of the biggest networks out there:

  • 400G Facebook (FRA14 / FRA5 / HAM1 / CPH1)

  • 200G Google (FRA14 / FRA5)

  • 100G Amazon (FR5)

  • 100G Microsoft (FR5)

In plain English: this means shorter, cleaner, and more predictable routes between our network and major cloud and content providers. That can translate into lower latency, better consistency, less dependence on public transit paths, and generally smoother traffic flow for services that talk a lot with these platforms. In other words, fewer scenic detours for your packets.

And because we apparently don’t know how to sit still, we’ve also shipped a big API v1.1 update.

Highlights include:

  • Fully implemented Custom Profiles in the API — you can now create custom profiles on the fly

  • New ability to query platform variants and resource limits, especially handy for Custom Profiles

  • Profile details now include a platform field, so you can see which hardware platform a profile belongs to

  • The WebSSH Token endpoint now returns a fully qualified URL you can use directly

  • Archived server snapshots can now be listed in GET /servers/snapshots

  • You can now deploy Library Scripts by ID directly to a server

  • You can also reference scripts by slug, which is a lot friendlier for humans and Terraform alike

  • Added the ability to cancel scheduled deletion for a server

  • You can now set the Web Root for a server, with optional webserver and Let’s Encrypt config updates

  • Added support for setting Server Identity via the API, including removing the default Webdock alias domain

  • You can now regenerate SSL certificates with Certbot for your main and alias domains

  • Locations, Images, Platforms, and Profiles no longer require authentication, making them easier to query for discovery and automation use cases

All in all: faster roads, more knobs, more levers, more automation, and more fun for people who enjoy making infrastructure do clever things.
