Immutable Backups
Immutable Backups are increasingly becoming cybersecurity and resilience best practice.
Currently CMS PaaS data is not covered by immutable backups. To further protect us against ransomware attacks and accidental or malicious data tampering having this as a standard or at least optional feature would be highly desirable, providing a reliable last line of defense for fast and trustworthy recovery after a cyber incident or operational failure.
Any update on timeline for its availability would be very much appreciated.17 votes -
API support for environment copy-back lifecycle and post-copy script execution
As a development team managing multiple lower environments, we want API/PowerShell endpoints to orchestrate the full copy-back workflow, including a mechanism to run registered post-copy maintenance scripts, so that I can automate environment refresh end-to-end without manual PaaS Portal interaction.
Currently, the copy-back workflow requires manual steps in the PaaS Portal (stop environment, copy databases/blobs from Production, start environment). After the copy, teams must anonymise PII from the copied databases to comply with GDPR before the environment can be used. This anonymisation step cannot be triggered or orchestrated through the platform.
We would like the EpiCloud module or REST API…

Dynamic Scaling in DXP - improve performance and reduce costs
The default hardware SKU for Optimizely is P1V3. P1V3 only has 2 cores and P2V3 has 4 cores. Because the number of cores available to the system dictates the number of default threads the system attempt to regulate, it would be best to deviate away from our current default hardware SKU, P1V3 to P2V3, instead. However, doing so would increase costs which we do not want to do necessarily. This is a proposal to decrease costs while simultaneously increasing hardware resources during peak hours.
The idea is to increase a customer's lower environment hardware to P2V3 during "working hours" (to…

IP Address restriction in Cloudflare
It would be great if we could configure an IP Address whitelist in Cloudflare so that we only allow a specific set of source IP Addresses to be allowed to access our DXP instances. This will allow us to block public access to non-production environments

Add .NET Counter publication to App Insights on Startup
There are a whole suite of .NET counters available to use to publish to App Insights. This is a low-lift modification that enables us to gain many insights, directly inside of App Insights Metrics, we can utilize to diagnose issues on customers.
This enables us to do performance investigations that otherwise require manual intervention (such as downloading .ETL files and opening them in PerfView or capturing dump files and analyzing them).
We can skip these manual steps and jump write to "close to root causes" by publishing this information. There is little cost and no significant performance degradation associated with…

Assess binding settings to resolve resets
We need to evaluate whether setting the suggested Microsoft setting is worthwhile to resolve resets. As part of that effort, we would have to evaluate the risks of doing so.

Identify and Aid Customers with Production Live-Locks
There's the concept of a "dead" lock and a "live" lock. A live-lock is essentially a race condition within a production environment. It causes stair stepping of CPU usually until the server crashes.
This often happens when a developer accidentally uses a non-thread safe object in a multi-threaded manner.
The object (for example a HashSet) being used needs to be identified and a thread safe type needs to be replaced so that the live-lock goes away and the CPU goes back to normal.
