The Styra DAS 20230426 release delivers the following new features and Fixed Issues.

New Features​

This section describes new features.

Styra CLI 0.10.0​

Styra CLI 0.10.0 is available which includes Entitlements System type support in Styra Link. Rules parsing is updated to support new schema types. Cache directory handling is updated to prevent missing directory warnings on Windows.

Compliance Scalability and Stability Improvements​

Compliance API calls now optionally run as a Kubernetes job, which improves scalability and stability.

Bundle Optimization Settings​

Bundle optimization can be configured in the Styra DAS UI. Bundle optimization level controls how bundles are optimized. Optimization applies partial evaluation to pre-compute known values in the system policies. Higher values increase bundle generation time and bundle propagation time to agents. To enable this feature, please contact your Styra Customer Success Manager.

Stateless Kubernetes Configuration Option​

Kubernetes Systems support stateless and stateful systems. In Kubernetes deployment options there is a new configuration option, Use ephemeral storage. If ephemeral storage is disabled bundles are stored in persistent storage as a stateful system type. If ephemeral storage is enabled bundles are stored in ephemeral storage as a stateless system type. To enable this feature, please contact your Styra Customer Success Manager.
