July 2026 - Cloud

The following updates were released to the Kentik platform for Cloud during July 2026.

Features

• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is now a first-class cloud provider: OCI joins AWS, GCP, and Azure across quick views and navigation, with OCI-specific tabs for region, instance, availability domain, VCN, and subnet. A new aggregate "Clouds" view gives a unified summary across every provider.
• OCI subnet labeling in the Cloud Flow Log Provider dimension: OCI flow devices are recognized and labeled in the kt_cloud_provider custom dimension, so OCI traffic carries proper provider attribution.
• Faster, smoother cloud maps: SVG link rendering on the AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI maps was optimized with node geometry caching, keyed update joins, a hardened arrow animation lifecycle, and debounced hover, plus corrected anchor drift during resize and layout changes.
• CloudPak plan card improvements: The Licenses page CloudPak card now matches the FlowPak card styling and adds plan description text, a "(P95)" label on FPS stat lines, darker chart colors for dark mode, and an informative message instead of a blank chart when there is no data.
• Cloud device status includes stored FPS: Cloud device status responses are enriched with stored licensing flow metrics in a downsampled_fps field, giving a more complete picture of device telemetry.
• Much faster cloud topology path queries: Indexing on VPC ID and batched VPC forwarding probes cut a 193,265-path subnet-to-subnet computation from roughly one second to about 150 milliseconds.
• Fewer redundant cloud API calls: Device metadata updates for AWS, Azure, and OCI now use centralized batch updates rather than per-device calls, measurably reducing periodic device GET volume.
• GCP topology refresh honors proxy settings: GCP refresh jobs now respect HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY and route API calls through configured proxies.
• Lower memory usage for GCP flow processing: GCP standard and Cloud Run log processing moved to a unified single-process model, with visible memory improvements in production.

Bug Fixes

• AWS Cloud WAN paths show every segment: The Pathfinder page now displays all core network segments and supports cross-segment routing, with deduplicated nodes, account summaries rebuilt from fresh metadata rather than stale cache, and on-demand topology summary refresh.
• AWS Pathfinder rendering error: A missing null check caused the page to fail when pathfinder data was incomplete.
• AWS map loads faster: Non-existent AWS regions were removed from the scraping dictionary, eliminating DNS errors and retry delays.
• Malformed AWS ARNs no longer fail silently: Parsing errors now propagate correctly so cloud export workflows complete and report the error instead of returning empty results.
• OCI maps stop re-scraping unnecessarily: Empty OCI topologies are now cached, and empty map.json files can be uploaded to the storage bucket, preventing repeated scrapes on map load.
• Cloud Metadata API Status shows all error rows: Duplicate rows were being collapsed, hiding most errors; all rows are now displayed.
• Azure configuration no longer shows an obsolete warning: The deprecated "api_access" validation warning was removed from the Azure cloud export configuration screen.
• Cloud topology refresh reliability: Refresh job configuration was restored to its original defaults to resolve database timeouts and missing topology metadata, GCP exports are now identified with the correct provider value, and job timeouts were tuned.
• OTT capacity treemap restored: A missing chart module broke the treemap on the OTT Service Details Capacity tab.
