Fixes

API & CLI

  • Fixed an issue that caused some GET requests for specific networks to fail with a 500 reponse even though the networks were visible in the UI 6.2.0
  • GET calls to /api/instances no longer fail with permissions warnings when there is an Instance pending an internal provisioning approval 6.2.0
  • GET calls to /api/library/instance-types with the max=-1 parameter are now returning all instance type results for instance types and library instance types 6.2.0
  • GET requests to /api/health now return storage metrics to match the storage information viewable on the appliance health page in UI 6.2.0

Policies

  • When creating Cloud-scoped Policies from a Subtenant, only the Clouds available to the Subtenant are shown in the select list 6.2.0
