Change logs

Global Login

IBM cloud is migrated to global API endpoint cloud.ibm.com. When logging in with the new API endpoint, user will be asked to select a region. In ibmcloud login command, flag -r is added to specify a region or --no-region can be used to log in without region specified. Besides, ibmcloud target --unset-region can be used to clear a region selection after logged in.

Changes In Commands Under account

The prerequisites of targeting a public Cloud Foundry environment is removed for commands that manage the public cloud foundry orgs/spaces/roles.

New Plugin Repository URL

The default plugin repository is migrated to new URL: https://plugins.cloud.ibm.com. The old URL https://plugins.ng.bluemix.net will still be kept until it is sunset some day in the future.

Service Endpoint Support

The Service Endpoint will allow a customer’s workload in their own account to access a service in an IBM owned account using the private IBM Cloud network. Having a VRF enabled account is a requirement of using service endpoints. Users can open a support ticket requesting to enable VRF. In CLI, new command account show is added to show the detailed account information including whether service endpoint is enabled or not. account update command is also added to enable/disable service endpoint at the account level.
