NetApp periodically updates the Astra Control REST API to bring you new features, enhancements, and bug fixes.

5 August 2021 (21.08)

This release includes the introduction of a new Astra deployment model and a major expansion of the REST API.

Astra Control Center deployment model

In addition to the existing Astra Control Service offering provided as a public cloud service, this release also includes the Astra Control Center on-premises deployment model. You can install Astra Control Center at your site to manage your local Kubernetes environment. The two Astra Control deployment models share the same REST API, with minor differences noted as needed in the documentation.

Expansion of the REST resource types

The number of resources accessible through the Astra Control REST API has greatly expanded, with many of the new resources providing a foundation for the on-premises Astra Control Center offering. The new resources include: ASUP, entitlement, feature, license, setting, subscription, bucket, cloud, cluster, managed cluster, storage backend, and storage class. See Resources for more information.

Additional endpoints supporting an Astra deployment

In addition to the expanded REST resources, there are several other new API endpoints available to support an Astra Control deployment.

OpenAPI support

The OpenAPI endpoints provide access to the current OpenAPI JSON document and other related resources.

OpenMetrics support

The OpenMetrics endpoints provide access to account metrics through the OpenMetrics resource.
