Today I am happy to announce two new features: Individual Linux Users and RabbitMQ AddOn.
Individual Linux Users
Until now, a single shared user (the one used by the cloud provider) and SSH key was used for both deployments and all SSH accesses by the members of your team.
Starting from today, all new stacks will have an individual and unique user for every memeber of your team.
This means if a someone leaves your team, their access to servers will be revoked automatially without your intervention. And any new addition to your team will automatically be commissioned on all of the applicable servers based on the priviledges you assign them.
This feature is transparent to all users and will be automatically used by the toolbelt without any change. If you want to use it directly with your own SSH terminal, downloading the SSH key from the server page will download your own individual SSH key and not the shared one.
RabbitMQ AddOn
We just added RabbitMQ to the list of our addons. You can now install a managed instance of RabbitMQ on your stack with a click of a button.
Until now, RabbitMQ was installed on stacks only if it was used in your Rails, Sinatra or Padrino stacks. Now you can add it as a standalone part of your infrastrucutre after the stack has been created.
Enjoy!
