  • End of Support and Maintenance (EOSM) of Cockpit v1. As of this date, Cockpit v1 is no longer fixed nor supported. For more information, see End-of-Life Policy.

October 5, 2023

  • In the User Guide, the procedure pages now include descriptions and examples for OSC CLI, instead of only linking to sections of the OUTSCALE API documentation. For example, see Creating VMs > Creating VMs Using OSC CLI.

  • These OSC CLI descriptions and examples are the same in the User Guide and the OUTSCALE API documentation. Therefore, you can choose to use either part of the site depending on your browsing preference.

September 20, 2023

  • Cockpit v2 is now out of beta following the deployment of version 2.9:

    • As a consequence, the User Guide will now primarily use the terms used by Cockpit v2, which are also the terms of the OUTSCALE API (for example, resources are called virtual machines, Nets, etc.), rather than the legacy AWS terminology that was previously used (for example, instances, VPCs, etc.). Tooltips remain available on mouse hover to facilitate the transition. This terminology change also applies to page titles (for example, About Instances now redirects to About VMs).

    • For more information about version 2.9 of Cockpit v2, see the Cockpit v2 Release Notes.

September 18, 2023

August 30, 2023

  • The OUTSCALE API documentation now includes fully functional code samples:

    • Each of the 180 available methods features at least one code sample per programming language.

    • Some of the methods feature multiple code samples per programming language. For example, the CreateImage method features four different code samples, each one for a different use case in terms of request parameters.

    • For convenience, two copy buttons appear next to each code sample on mouse hover:

      • copy to clipboard: The first button copies the code as is, therefore as a multiline string.

      • copy to clipboard single line: The second button copies the code formatted as a single-line command (where applicable).

July 27, 2023

  • The search feature of the User Guide has been improved:

    • When using the search bar at the top right, you can now view the results in a distinct page and not only in the dropdown list.

    • You can now add the public documentation to your browser’s search engines. Doing so enables you to quickly search the documentation website by using a keyword shortcut. For example, you can type osc vm types in your URL bar to directly launch a search for "vm types" in the documentation, even if you are not already on the website. For more information, see Searching the Public Documentation From Your URL Bar.

  • You can now export any page of the User Guide to the PDF format, by using the button located in the right-side column of each page.

June 27, 2023

  • The API documentations have been updated:

    • The Authentication sections have been rewritten.

    • Code samples for the login/password authentication are now included.
      Note that the login/password authentication is only supported for certain actions, in the OUTSCALE API (for example, ReadAccessKeys) and in the ICU API (for example, ListAccessKeys).

    • Code samples in JavaScript are now included for the OUTSCALE API.
      They are based on the OUTSCALE SDK for TypeScript/JavaScript.

    • You can now switch between the programming languages by using the buttons above each code sample, as well as in the top left corner.

June 23, 2023

  • The AWS Compatibility Matrix has been updated. This page lists the correspondences between AWS-Compliant API methods and OUTSCALE API methods.
