v2.9.0

• Percona Backup for MongoDB is now available and fully supported on Amazon Linux 2023 (AL23), simplifying its AWS deployment. You can safely run PBM on AL23 to build a secure, stable, high-performance environment for developing and running cloud applications, with seamless integration with various AWS services and development tools.

• You can now define a pbm-agent configuration in a single file and start the agent using it. The configuration includes the MongoDB connection URI, the custom log path, and the number of parallel workers needed for a backup. In addition, you can adjust the log level on runtime without restarting the pbm-agent. This helps you keep all your pbm-agent setup in a single place and simplifies its management.
