We’re excited to announce our latest platform update!
Service Credentials are a more secure and user-friendly way to store authentication keys that connect your IoT applications with other elements of your company’s cloud infrastructure. The sensitive portions of these credentials are never returned to the user after creation, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access to your data and processes. This provides a big security and usability improvement for Losant developers who connect their IoT solutions to third-party cloud services.
Today’s release also provides some additional insights into an organization’s payload consumption over time. Just as we exposed stats about notebook minute consumption in our last release, we’re now doing the same for tracking billable payloads at the organization level.
As always, this release comes with several minor features and improvements:
-
We’ve updated our “Add Dashboard Block” interface to include a search filter and sorting by various methods.
-
The Gateway Edge Agent can now connect as a client to third-party MQTT brokers, allowing for publishing messages and subscribing to topics through the MQTT Output Node and MQTT Trigger respectively.
-
We’ve added a new Azure Table Storage Node for interacting with Microsoft Azure’s structured, non-relational datastore service.
-
Resources in application export bundles now have more stable placeholder IDs, which makes for cleaner diffs when committing your application revisions to Git repositories or other version control systems.
