What is Redocly?

Redocly fixes EU-region SSO and log-retention limits in three platform releases in one day.

Redocly ships platform builds daily. After renaming `reunite` to `platform` in config 0.70.0 and wiring it through Platform v2026-10-31.1, three November 2 releases fixed SSO failing for EU-hosted projects without `access.residency`, an organization switcher that ignored SSO-required orgs, runtime logs showing more history than the plan allows, and a hidden team-manager list after plan downgrades.

What is Talos Linux?

Talos 1.15's alpha keeps moving: a silent containerd config trap and declarative CPU control

Talos is on v1.15.0-alpha.2 while stable branches keep receiving maintenance releases such as v1.13.12. The alpha adds boot partition waiting for late-enumerated disks, container swap limits and a declarative CPUScalingConfig document. It also generates containerd configuration version 4, under which settings that moved between versions are silently ignored in custom CRI configs apart from a logged warning.

Redocly fixes EU-region SSO and log-retention limits in three platform releases in one day.

◆ Current state

Redocly ships platform builds daily. After renaming `reunite` to `platform` in config 0.70.0 and wiring it through Platform v2026-10-31.1, three November 2 releases fixed SSO failing for EU-hosted projects without `access.residency`, an organization switcher that ignored SSO-required orgs, runtime logs showing more history than the plan allows, and a hidden team-manager list after plan downgrades.

◆ Where it's heading

Recent work concentrates on access control and plan enforcement around SSO, data residency and RBAC, next to the rename and the AI agent's support-desk features. The fixes suggest region-specific hosting and plan tiers are still being hardened.

◆ Prediction

Expect more access and plan-boundary fixes in daily platform builds, and further support-desk features for the agent; when the `reunite` key will stop working is unclear.

Talos 1.15's alpha keeps moving: a silent containerd config trap and declarative CPU control

◆ Current state

Talos is on v1.15.0-alpha.2 while stable branches keep receiving maintenance releases such as v1.13.12. The alpha adds boot partition waiting for late-enumerated disks, container swap limits and a declarative CPUScalingConfig document. It also generates containerd configuration version 4, under which settings that moved between versions are silently ignored in custom CRI configs apart from a logged warning.

◆ Where it's heading

The 1.15 cycle extends Talos's habit of replacing kernel arguments and raw system settings with typed configuration documents. Networking dominated 1.14 and the first 1.15 alpha; alpha.2 widens that approach to hardware and resource control, and consolidates talosctl around a shared --namespace flag. The containerd change is the real operational cost of the cycle, because a customized metrics or gRPC section stops taking effect with only a logged warning.

◆ Prediction

Expect more typed documents for settings that still live in kernel arguments or SysfsConfig keys, and further alphas before a beta. Operators with CRICustomizationConfig patches should expect migration guidance to feature in the eventual 1.15 upgrade notes.
