    New project-level roles

    Aiven has added three project-level roles so you can grant access with least privilege: project admin, project manager, and project read access.

    Project manager

    The project manager (role:project:manager) is for day-to-day project operations. This role can view and manage services, their configuration, and key project configuration like permissions and integrations. It replaces the operator role and has fewer permissions, making it a more secure choice for granting least privilege access.

    Project admin

    The project admin (role:project:admin) role replaces the legacy admin role. Users with this role can manage project permissions, tags, settings, integrations, networking, and all services in the project.

    Project read access

    The project read access role (role:project:read) is for users who need visibility, but don’t need to make changes. It replaces the read_only role, and can view project permissions, tags, event logs, integrations, and networking. It also has read access to services, including logs, metrics, and service users. Service configuration secrets and service user passwords are redacted.

    Use these new permissions for new assignments. The legacy operator, admin, and read_only roles will be deprecated and removed. A separate announcement will be made for the deprecation of those roles.

    For more information, see Aiven’s documentation on roles and permissions.

    Centralized platform event logs for organizations

    For more information, read the event logs documentation.

      Aiven for Apache Kafka®

    OAuth 2.0/OIDC authentication for Karapace Schema Registry

    You can now use OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect (OIDC) bearer tokens to authenticate requests to Karapace Schema Registry on Aiven for Apache Kafka®. Schema Registry validates JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) using the same OIDC provider settings as Apache Kafka.

    You can also enable role-based authorization to control Schema Registry operations based on roles in the JWT. Enabling JWT authentication does not disable basic authentication, so you can migrate clients gradually and disable basic authentication after the migration is complete.

    Requires Karapace 6.2.1 or later. Configure authentication and authorization in the Aiven Console or with the Aiven CLI.

    For more information, see Enable OAuth 2.0/OIDC authentication for Aiven for Apache Kafka® Schema Registry.

      Aiven for ClickHouse®

    Aiven for ClickHouse® 26.3 is generally available

    Aiven for ClickHouse® 26.3, a long-term support (LTS) release, is now generally available. You can select version 26.3 when you create a service or upgrade an existing service from version 25.8.

    Version 25.8 remains the default for new services, and existing services are not upgraded automatically. If your service runs version 25.3, upgrade to version 25.8 before upgrading to version 26.3. Direct upgrades from version 25.3 to 26.3 and downgrades are not supported.

    Before upgrading, review the compatibility changes, removed features, and changed defaults. Test the upgrade on a fork of your service.

    For more information, see Upgrade to Aiven for ClickHouse 26.3 and Manage versions in Aiven for ClickHouse.

      Microsoft Azure
      BYOC

    Bring your own cloud (BYOC) for Microsoft Azure

    Aiven now supports Microsoft Azure as a self-service cloud provider for bring your own cloud (BYOC). You can create custom clouds on AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure through the Aiven Console or with the Aiven CLI. Azure supports two deployment models: private, with a bastion host proxying traffic to privately addressed workload nodes, and public, with service VMs directly accessible from the internet.

    To get started, you need an Azure subscription and a user or service principal with the required subscription permissions. As a one-time step per tenant, you install Aiven's pre-registered enterprise application on your Microsoft Entra tenant. The setup generates a Terraform template that you deploy to your Azure subscription. The template creates role assignments granting the Aiven enterprise application access to your subscription, a resource group, custom role definitions, and storage accounts. For the private model, it also creates two virtual networks (bastion and workload VNets), VNet peering, network security groups, and NAT gateways. For the public model, it creates a single workload VNet with a network security group.

    For more information, see Create a Microsoft Azure-integrated custom cloud.
