CloudGuard IaaS Product Announcement - Cloud Management Extension (CME) Take 66 Release

[Itamar-cohen]

Hi,

I'm happy to inform of our latest update of Cloud Management Extension (CME). Take 66.

In this release, you can find

• For Azure
  • Improved handling of API request throttling in Azure
  • Minor fixes
• For AWS
  • Autoscaling: integration with Network Load Balancer new listeners - UDP and UDP_TCP
  • Transit VPC: spoke-routes and export-routes are now configured via the autoprov_cfg tool
  • TGW: GW can be configured to re-advertise desired spoke routes over BGP back to the TGW (for Direct Connect)
  • TGW: Gateways can be configured to automatically set static routes on their instance route table
• For all platforms
  • Set a prefix to all SmartConsole objects created by the CME. For more information type 'autoprov_cfg set template -h' and look under '-pn'
  • Added the CME take number to version’s information (through ‘autoprov_cfg –v’ and cme_menu)
  • Fixed degradation inserted in Take 55 - Custom gateway script (-cg Flag) is now supported on AWS and GCP and not just Azure

Please, note that a new limitation was added -

Automatic HF deployment and setting a prefix to all SmartConsole objects' features cannot be activated in parallel for the same controller.

Hello,

thank you for the information.

I am just wondering if Check Point currently recommends using CME instead of the Autoprovision Add-On. I cannot find this information in the available materials.

Best regards, Václav

Thank you for your comment.
You are right, we didn't write it in the sk. CME replaced the old Autoprovision Add-On and it is the recommended package.
We will add it to the "What's New" in the CME sk.
