Below are some highlights of recent releases.

New Section Console

The new Section Console, available at https://console.section.io, introduces an improved experience for navigating and managing your account settings and deployed applications on Section. Highlighted features include access to pod status and usage data, ability to monitor edge environments with the Section Traffic Monitor, and control over account and application settings. (Note: Aperture will remain available for existing customers, but we encourage all users to explore and start using the improved Section Console UI.)

Revamped Documentation

We have released a new and improved version of Section Docs. The new documentation empowers users to get up and running with Section’s Kubernetes Edge Interface (KEI)-enabled Edge Hosting Platform quickly and successfully. With a library of resources, including guides, explanations, and references, deploying and managing applications on the Section platform has never been easier.

Kubernetes Edge Interface (KEI) - Related Releases

The patent-pending KEI is officially available for general use. KEI introduces new, Kubernetes-centric tooling and workflows to quickly and easily deploy and manage containerized applications across a distributed edge using the same processes as though interacting with a single cluster.

Always-On DDoS Protection

We rolled out an expanded, always-on DDoS protection across Section’s global HTTP anycast network, providing extra protection to applications running on this network. Substantial network-layer DDoS protection is now included by default across the entire Section network to protect against all Layer 3/4 attacks. Section’s DDoS protection includes dually redundant DDoS protection on two of the world’s largest DDoS networks.

Patent Approval for Adaptive Edge Engine (AEE)

We received official patent approval from the US Patent & Trademark Office for the Adaptive Edge Engine (AEE). You can view the full public listing of the patent here.
