ScyllaDB Docs ScyllaDB Cloud About ScyllaDB Cloud as a Service Managing ScyllaDB Versions. Managing ScyllaDB ScyllaDB Cloud is a managed service for ScyllaDB Enterprise databases. The service deploys the latest ScyllaDB Enterprise version for new clusters, and upgrades existing clusters once a new version is released. The ScyllaDB team announces the release of ScyllaDB Manager 3.2.6 production-ready ScyllaDB Manager patch release of the stable ScyllaDB Manager 3.2 branch.ScyllaDB Manager is a centralized cluster administration and recurrent tasks automation tool.This release fixes issues in Manager backup, in particular for Alternator, and repair.In this version, we introduce new properties for the cluster. The --force-tls-disabled option compels health checks to establish non-encrypted CQL sessions, even if Scylla is configured to support encrypted sessions. Additionally, the --force-non-ssl-session-port flag instructs Scylla Manager to consistently use native_transport_port instead of native_transport_port_ssl for encrypted CQL sessions (#3679).Cron for tasks scheduling can now be combined with the --start-date flag to specify the exact time and date for the first task execution (#3701, #3700).We have also updated Scylla Manager to handle node IP changes more effectively, particularly in Kubernetes environments (#3707).Support for IMDSv2 has been added. If the region is not defined in scylla-manager-agent.yaml, the region will be determined based on the response from IMDSv2. Previously, only IMDSv1 was supported (#3735).ScyllaDB Enterprise customers are encouraged to upgrade to ScyllaDB Manager 3.2.6 in coordination with the ScyllaDB support team.The new release includes upgrades of both ScyllaDB Manager Server and Agent.Useful Links:Scylla Manager 3.2 Release NotesDownload ScyllaDB Manager and ScyllaDB Manager Agent for ScyllaDB Enterprise customersDownload ScyllaDB Manager and ScyllaDB Manager Agent for open source users (up to 5 nodes)ScyllaDB Manager Docker instance and exampleScyllaDB Manager 3.2 documentationUpgrade from ScyllaDB Manager 3.2.x to ScyllaDB Manager 3.2.6Submit a ticket for questions or issues with Manager 3.2.6 (ScyllaDB Enterprise users)Scylla Manager 3.2.6 supports the following Scylla Enterprise releases:2024.12023.xAnd the following Open Source release (limited to 5 nodes see license):5.45.2You can install and run Scylla Manager on Kubernetes using Scylla Operator.
