May 1, 2026May 2026: Focused on tightening security posture and delivering encryption key management capabilities in sbcli. Key features shipped include Vault-based KMS integration with updated CLI/core models and controllers plus external-KMS documentation, and a comprehensive security hardening pass that disables production Flask debug, strengthens TLS checks, enforces proper resource scope, adds NQN argument validation, RBAC validation for the CLI, and bumps the Python minimum to 3.13. These changes reduce risk, enable production readiness, and increase platform reliability and customer trust.

22 Commits • 12 Features
Apr 1, 2026In April 2026, sbcli advanced security, reliability, and developer experience while enabling production-grade TLS workflows and improved observability. Key features were delivered to modernize integration points and streamline testability, and reliability fixes were applied to prevent misconfigurations and to handle hostname dynamics in migrations. The work also prepared the ground for secure, scalable deployments in Kubernetes and SPDK environments. What changed: - API and data contracts: Adapted API v2 DTOs to align with the latest API surface and data exchange expectations. - TLS and secure communications: Implemented TLS-based servers conditionally, extended TLS support to the RPC client and SNodeClient (including optional TLS, custom CA verification, and mTLS), and prepared the system for TLS deployment in Kubernetes/SPDK settings. - Observability and testing: Added logging for API request duration and introduced test execution improvements (tox.ini) with customizable test runs. - Reliability and correctness: Fixed invalid field defaults, corrected address naming (address vs IP), refined storage node address pattern handling, made node migration resilient to hostname changes, and removed a duplicate chart artifact to reduce noise. - Quality and maintainability: Removed an unused function and introduced a helper for obtaining SNodeClient to simplify usage and improve code clarity. Impact: These changes strengthen security, reduce configuration errors, improve deployment reliability, and enhance testability—enabling safer production rollouts and faster iteration cycles for developers and operators.
