Dear Alibaba Cloud users,
From February 17, 2025, Alibaba Cloud starts to roll out updates based on Bastionhost V3.2.45 to users of Bastionhost V3.2.X.
Bastionhost V3.2.45 provides new features such as network domain HTTPS proxy and asset remarks configured by O&M engineers. To provide better services, the following features are optimized: Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)-based O&M on a client, network domain, Identity as a Service (IDaaS) authentication, and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication.
Update description
The HTTPS proxy server can be configured for a network domain.
O&M engineers can make remarks for assets in the O&M portal.
The width and font size of the client interface can be changed during RDP-based O&M.
The RDP-based O&M on a client is applicable to Windows 11 24H2.
NoteYou can select the Enable Bitmap Caching During RDP-based O&M option only after you update Bastionhost to V3.2.45. For more information, see Configure O&M settings.
The logs are displayed after a connection fails to be established on the LDAP Authentication tab.
Specific known issues are fixed.
For more information, see Release notes.
Available update periods
The update period varies based on the region and edition of your bastion host. The following table describes the specific update periods, excluding non-business days.
Available update period | Region |
February 17, 2025 to April 11, 2025 | All regions on the international site (alibabacloud.com) |
Update impacts
If your bastion host is being updated, the bastion host is in the Updating Configuration state. The update process is 20 minutes, and a service interruption that lasts approximately 1 minute occurs. We recommend that you specify a custom period to update your bastion host during off-peak hours.
Update methods
Bastionhost displays an update window for a bastion host in the Bastionhost console. You can view the update period in the update window. If you want to modify the update period, you can click Automatically Upgrade to specify an update period or click Manually Upgrade to immediately update the bastion host. For more information, see Update Bastionhost V3.2.
Automatic update: Your bastion host is automatically updated based on the update period that is defined by Bastionhost or the update period that you specify.
Update period that is defined by Bastionhost: Bastionhost randomly selects an update period based on the available update periods.
Custom update period: You can specify a custom update period.
Manual update: You can manually update your bastion host to the latest version.
WarningThe system-defined update period may overlap with the peak hours of your business. This may affect your business. To prevent business interruptions, we recommend that you specify a custom update period during off-peak hours.
If you do not manually update your bastion host and you do not specify a custom update period for your bastion host, your bastion host is automatically updated during the update period that is determined by Bastionhost.
