We are pleased to announce the release of ACE v2026.3.30.
ACE v2026.3.30 brings improvements to installer configuration, site administration, and form-driven workflows across the platform. This release also includes several backend and upgrade-related improvements to make cluster onboarding, routing, and operational management more reliable. In this post, we’ll highlight the changes done in this release.
Key Changes
- Alertmanager configuration is now exposed through ACE installer options with email and webhook routing support.
- Site Administration is improved with a dedicated cluster inventory page and better orphan organization management flows.
- Feature set and preset workflows are improved in Cluster UI with dedicated pages and manifest preview support.
- Installer and backend flows are more reliable with safer
user-confighandling, better credential-less EKS onboarding, and safer upgrade handling for backup components.
Here are the components specific changes:
Billing UI
Enhancements
- Added an Auto Assign Cluster toggle in contract cluster settings to manage the existing auto-assign workflow more easily for eligible users.
- Improved deep-link handling with
redirect_tosupport so billing links can take users directly to the intended page. - Simplified the Add Cluster flow with a lighter editor and inline error handling.
Fixes & Improvements
- Fixed routing issues when switching usage type or product in usage views.
- Updated customer-facing copy in contract link actions.
Cluster UI
Enhancements
- Moved feature-set configuration from modal dialogs to dedicated pages across cluster, hub, and spoke flows.
- Added generated manifest preview and edit support before deployment in feature-set workflows.
- Extended the guided preset-edit flow to KubeDB UI and Stash presets.
Fixes & Improvements
- Improved public cluster import routing to support cluster names that contain slashes.
- Creating KubeDB resources from Cluster UI now redirects users to the dedicated KubeDB UI flow.
- Reduced noisy upgrade prompts by waiting for version data before showing new-version notices.
KubeDB UI
Enhancements
- Improved project quota visibility in the initial database create flow, including cases where only CPU or memory limits are partially set.
- Added an Edit action for
kubestash.comresources to make related edit flows easier to reach. - Updated some create and edit entry flows to stay in the same tab.
- Added create-flow support for DB2, HanaDB, Milvus, Neo4j, Qdrant, and Weaviate through new
ui-wizardseditor flows.
Fixes & Improvements
- Clarified quota charts when no CPU or memory limit is set instead of showing misleading empty states.
- Hid the snapshot create button where it should not be exposed.
- Added earlier validation for overly long resource names in create flows.
- Added backup toggle wiring in Redis and ZooKeeper create forms for KubeStash-backed backup flows.
Platform UI
Enhancements

- Added visibility for likely orphaned organizations in the Site Administration organization list and direct delete action from the table.

Enhancements
- Exposed Alertmanager email and webhook routing through ACE installer options.

- Updated scripts to support running outbox workflows on macOS.
Fixes & Improvements
