New methods to use a DirectLink connection with different accounts are now available. The AllocatePrivateVirtualInterface method enables you to provision a DirectLink connection to another OUTSCALE user through the creation of a private virtual interface in their account. Conversely, the ConfirmPrivateVirtualInterface method enables you to use the DirectLink connection of another OUTSCALE user who has created a private virtual interface in your account. For more information, see AllocatePrivateVirtualInterface and ConfirmPrivateVirtualInterface.

The DescribeRegions and DescribeAvailabilityZones methods have been updated. For more information, see DescribeRegions and DescribeAvailabilityZones.

In the AssociateAddress method, the AllowReassociation attribute is now by default true in the public Cloud, and by default false in a VPC. For more information, see AssociateAddress.

In the CreateLoadBalancer method, the SecurityGroups.member.N attribute is now required to create a load balancer in a VPC. For more information, see CreateLoadBalancer.

The ReadPublicIpRanges method returns the list of public IPv4 addresses in a Region. For more information, see ReadPublicIpRanges.

The ReadCatalog and ReadPublicCatalog methods now return prices for the Region of your account only. The Region attribute to specify another Region is no longer available. For more information, see ReadCatalog or ReadPublicCatalog.

By default, traffic between two security groups is now allowed through both public and private IPs. For more information, see AuthorizeSecurityGroupEgress and AuthorizeSecurityGroupIngress.

A new type of GPU Commodity instances is available: gp3 instances. For more information, see Instance Types and RunInstances.

The new InstanceInitiatedShutdownBehavior attribute enables you to define the behavior of your instance when you stop or terminate it. By default or if set to stop, the instance stops. If set to restart, the instance stops then automatically restarts. If set to terminate, the instance stops and is terminated. For more information, see RunInstances or ModifyInstanceAttribute.

The CreateNatGateway method creates a network address translation gateway in a public subnet of a VPC. For more information, see CreateNatGateway.

A new method has been implemented to copy snapshots and OUTSCALE machine images (OMIs) between different Regions. You now need to first export the snapshot or the OMI to an OSU bucket. The other account then needs to import it in the other Region. This feature also enables you to create backups for your snapshots or your OMIs, or to copy snapshots or OMIs within the same Region. For more information about inter-Region copy for snapshots, see CreateSnapshotExportTask and ImportSnapshot. For more information about inter-Region copy for OMIs, see CreateImageExportTask and RegisterImage.
For intra-Region copies, the CopySnapshot and the CopyImage methods are still available.

Network Address Translation (NAT) gateways are now created for a subnet only. Therefore, you need to create one NAT gateway in each subnet in which you want to enable indirect access to the Internet. For more information, see CreateNatGateway.

A pending state has been added to VPC endpoints and NAT gateways. They now become available only when they are ready to use. For more information, see DescribeVpcEndpoints and DescribeNatGateways.
