• Percentage capacity metric

  We’re introducing the new percentage capacity metric, nginxaas.capacity.percentage, which provides a more accurate estimate of your deployment’s load compared to the previous consumed NCUs metric. The new capacity metric expresses the capacity consumed as a percentage of the deployment’s total capacity. Please modify any alerts and monitoring on deployment performance to use the new percentage capacity metric. The consumed NCUs metric is being deprecated and will be removed in the near future. Please see Scaling guidance for more details.

• Retirement of Standard Plan

  The Standard plan for NGINXaaS for Azure has been retired, and you can no longer use it to create new deployments. If you have a deployment running on the Standard plan, consider migrating it to the Standard V2 plan to access new features such as NGINX App Protect WAF and additional listen ports. Plan migration does not incur downtime.
