Highlights

General Availability of YBA Installer. Available as a standalone download, use YBA Installer for new installations of YugabyteDB Anywhere. YBA Installer provides simplified installation and basic functionality for managing installations, including backup and restore of an installation, upgrading, uninstalling, and more.

Note: For existing installations that use Replicated, continue to use Replicated to manage upgrades.
Support for AppRole authentication when creating a Hashicorp Vault KMS configuration.

Support for using scripts to automate Linux OS patching and updating on universes deployed using an On-Premises provider.
Use the YugabyteDB Anywhere trust store to manage custom and self-signed certificates for OIDC. Upload your custom certificate to the trust store and YugabyteDB Anywhere will use it to verify OIDC connections.
Support (via special request to Support) for enabling and disabling the YCQL API, and disabling the YSQL API on an existing, running universe.

Highlights

Support for single-table restores of YCQL backups. When restoring from backups, you can specify a keyspace and select specific tables to restore, allowing more efficient backups, and flexible fine-grain restores.
General availability of the YugabyteDB Anywhere Terraform provider. Use Terraform to automate provisioning, lifecycle, and other workflows.
YugabyteDB Anywhere now proxies all communication to universe nodes for database processes via a node agent. As a result, YugabyteDB Anywhere no longer requires SSH and SCP to communicate with nodes, apart from during initial provisioning or node debugging.
Support for GCP instance templates. When deploying universes on GCP using a provider configured with a template, instances are created based on template parameters. This allows customizations such as GCP encrypted memory and disk, TPM, solo tenancy, and more.
Support for customizing the organization name of the self-signed certificates generated by YugabyteDB Anywhere. Customize the organization name using the yb.tlsCertificate.organizationName runtime configuration flag.
Support for latency histogram and P99 latency metrics. View Percentile metrics and a latency histogram for your YSQL queries from the Slow Queries dashboard.
Use the new YugabyteDB Anywhere trust store to manage custom and self-signed certificates for integrations that require TLS, including LDAP, Hashicorp Vault, S3, and more. YBA uses the trust store to verify the authenticity of TLS endpoints that it connects to.

Highlights

Improvements to xCluster replication, including:
- Support for transactional atomicity (see Transactional xCluster deployment)
- Automatic transfer of the source universe certificate when new nodes are added to the target universe
- Ability to delete and pause replication when the source universe goes down
- Ability to set up replication even if matching tables do not exist on the target universe
- Improved performance and reliability when gathering replication stream statuses
- Disallowing replication between two YugabyteDB versions that are incompatible
- New alerts for when a YSQL table is added to a database in replication for the source but not the target universe
- Faster bootstrapping
Improvements to read replicas, including:
- Ability to edit the number of replicas in a universe's read-replica cluster
- Ability to override g-flags to read replica clusters. (By default, read replicas are assigned the same g-flags as the primary cluster.)
Enhanced LDAP support. Account administrators can now map YugabyteDB Anywhere roles to Active Directory groups, and members of these groups will inherit role permissions automatically.
Deploy multi-region stretched universes in Kubernetes. In particular, when universes span two or more Kubernetes clusters and use Multi-cluster Services (MCS), address challenges with cross-k8s-cluster network addressing.
Perform single-table restores in YCQL (as long as the keyspace-level backup was made using the table-by-table backup option) in combination with incremental backups. Previously these features did not work together.
