June 22, 2021 - Subnet Functionality for VPCs
To complement the initial VPC release from May 13, 2021, the StackPath Control Portal now offers VPC users the ability to create subnets.
A subnet is a segment of a VPC's IP address range where you can group isolated resources. You can use a subnet to create a route for resources within a specific workload. 
Additionally, the following API calls have been published:
- Create a subnet
- View subnets
Currently, all VPC functionality is considered a beta feature.
- To view FAQs for this VPC release, see Frequently Asked Questions About Virtual Private Clouds.
- To learn more about VPC, including how to create a subnet, see Create and Manage a VPC Network.
- To view API information, see VPC network.

May 13, 2021 - VPC networks
In the StackPath Control Portal, you can now create and assign virtual private cloud (VPC) networks to your workloads.
VPCs provide networking functionality to your workloads, allowing resources to securely communicate with each other, the internet, and on-premise networks.
Additionally, the StackPath Developer Portal has been updated with the following calls:
- Get all VPC networks
- Create a VPC network
- Get a VPC network
- Delete a VPC network
Note:
This feature is a beta release. To learn more about beta at StackPath, see Beta at StackPath.

In the StackPath Control Portal, the process to create a site has been updated to improve user experience. Specifically, there is a step-by-step workflow in the portal to guide you through the process to create, configure, and complete a new site.

This update applies to both full site and static asset site creation.
To create a site:
- In the StackPath Control Portal, in the left-side navigation, click Sites.

- Select Full Site Integration or Static Asset Integration, and then follow the on-screen prompts to create a new site.
After you create a site, StackPath recommends that you verify the integration, as well as configure specific settings. To learn more, see Create and Configure a Site.

February 24, 2021: Downward API environment variables
In the StackPath Control Portal, the process to create a container-based workload has changed. Specifically, there is now the option to add Downward API Environment Variables. You can use this option to expose application information to the workload and other instances in the same workload.
Additionally, there is a Commands field where you can specify a command that will execute when the instance starts.
To learn how to create a container-based workload with downward API environment variables, see Create and Manage Virtual Machines, Containers, and Workloads.

November 30, 2020: Updates to free SSL certificates
In the StackPath Control Portal, the process to obtain a free SSL certificate has been updated to improve user experience. Specifically, the previous Validation and Validation Method sections have been merged and renamed to Verify Domain Ownership. With this update, the step to select a validation method has been removed; by default, both validation options will display.
For API users, the APIs below have been updated. Specifically, the response now includes a statusDetail entry that displays details about the certificate's status, including a list of verification failure reasons.
- Get verification details (CDN SSL)
- Get sites associated with a certificate (WAF SSL)
- Get a certificate (SSL)
- Get a certificate’s latest version (SSL)
Additionally, for SSL API calls, there are new certificate statuses:
- Ready
- This status indicates that the certificate has issued, but has not been downloaded yet.
- Revoked
- This status indicates that the certificate has been revoked by the SSL provider.
To learn more about SSL certificates, see Create and Manage SSL Certificates.
Which users are affected by this update?
This update applies if you use the StackPath Control Portal with an active WAF service.
This update does not relate if you use the MaxCDN, Highwinds, or legacy StackPath platforms.
Will the StackPath Control Portal change?
Yes. In the Security Events table, you can now filter requests based on the triggered rule type:
- To filter requests that triggered StackPath's predefined rules, select Policy.
- To filter requests that triggered custom rules created by users on your account, select Custom Rules.
Additionally, the name of the main WAF-related graph has been updated to display the term requests.
Do I need to update anything to prepare for this change?
If you use the StackPath API system, you must update your code to replace the soon-to-be deprecated event-related calls with the newly created request-equivalent calls.
Starting on November 12, 2020, for 30 days both the event-related calls and the request-related calls will be available; however, after 30 days, the event-related calls will be formally removed. As a result, StackPath recommends that you replace the calls as soon as possible.
Review the following calls to replace:
Get Request Statistics
Replace the old call with the new call to get request statistics:
Old call:
[`GET /waf/v1/stacks/:stack_id/sites/:site_id/event_stats`](https://stackpath.dev/reference/events#geteventstatistics)
New call:
[`GET /waf/v1/stacks/:stack_id/sites/:site_id/request_stats`](https://stackpath.dev/reference/events#getrequeststatistics)
For this call, only the call's URL has changed. The inputs and outputs are the same.
Get All Requests
Replace the old call with the new call to get all WAF requests:
Old:
[`GET /waf/v1/stacks/:stack_id/sites/:site_id/events`](https://stackpath.dev/reference/events#searchevents)
New:
[`GET /waf/v1/stacks/:stack_id/sites/:site_id/requests`](https://stackpath.dev/reference/requests#getrequests)
In addition to the new URL and response structure, this call's inputs have changed to use StackPath's standard pagination, sorting, and filter input.
Get an Individual Request
Replace the old call with the new calls to get individual WAF event information:
Old:
[`GET /waf/v1/stacks/:stack_id/sites/:site_id/events/:event_id`](https://stackpath.dev/reference/events#getevent)
New:
[`GET /waf/v1/stacks/:stack_id/sites/:site_id/requests/:request_id`](https://stackpath.dev/reference/requests#getrequest)
New:
[`GET /waf/v1/stacks/:stack_id/sites/:site_id/requests/:request_id/details`](https://stackpath.dev/reference/requests#getrequestdetails)
The first new call retrieves an event summary.
The second new call returns a full event object.
Get WAF Traffic Report
Replace the old call with the new call to get WAF traffic reports:
Old:
[`GET /waf/v1/stacks/:stack_id/traffic`](https://stackpath.dev/reference/traffic#gettraffic)
New:
[`GET /waf/v2/stacks/:stack_id/traffic`](https://stackpath.dev/reference/traffic#gettrafficv2)
The new call's inputs have an additional DAILY resolution, as well as a simplified output structure.
