Internal Racks and General Enhancements

Internal Racks

You can now set a Rack to Internal mode which will cause all new apps created on that Rack to be created with VPC-only internal load balancers. This mode is great for users building intranet applications where all access will come through VPC peering or VPN gateways.

$ convox rack params set Internal=Yes

Balancer Parameter Removal

The CloudFormation parameters for load balancer configuration are being removed to relieve pressure for large apps running into the 60-parameter limit of CloudFormation. You should specify all load balancer configuration as convox.port labels.

https://convox.com/docs/docker-compose-file/#labels

WARNING: If your app has set these parameters manually without also setting the appropriate labels you will receive an error the next time you deploy asking you to add the labels.

General Enhancements

• #983 Remove load balancer params [@ddollar]
• #989 Api cpu should be capitalized [@beedub]

ELB Idle Timeout and General Enhancements

ELB Timeout Configuration

You can now configure the idle timeout of your load balancers using a label. (#912) [@bobzoller]

web:
  labels:
    - convox.idle.timeout=3600

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ElasticLoadBalancing/latest/DeveloperGuide/config-idle-timeout.html

General Enhancements

• #977 allow user env to override docker-compose.yml [@ddollar]
• #979 include port in _URL link var [@ddollar]

Deployment Configuration and General Enhancements

Deployment Configuration

You can now specify the minimum and maximum percentage of containers to have running during rolling deploys using labels in your docker-compose.yml. (#922) [@beedub]

services:
  web:
    build: .
    labels:
      - convox.deployment.minimum=50
      - convox.deployment.maximum=200

WARNING: The DeploymentMinimum and DeploymentMaximum parameters to application stacks have been removed. If you were using these parameters please migrate your application to the labels shown above.

General Enhancements

• Add --no-sync flag to convox start to disable code synchronization (#959) [@awsmsrc]

Autoscale Improvements and General Enhancement

Autoscale Improvements

When calculating the number of instances needed to run your containers we now add one to the total to avoid cases where the instances get packed too close to capacity. (#964) [@ddollar]

The default values for minimum and maximum are 100 and 200 respectively.
