Querying the instance ResourceQuota (such as vCPU and GPU) limit and usage at the availability zone level | The instance ResourceQuota (such as vCPU and GPU) is provided at the Availability Zone level. It helps you perform fine-grained resource management. For example, you can limit key resources by instance family. It also lets you query usage to plan your resources accordingly. | China (Beijing) | 2022-11-25 | |
| | China (Shanghai) | 2022-10-25 | |
| | China (Guangzhou) | | |
Request rate limiting for operations at the Volcano Engine tenant level | You can specify Volcano Engine tenant-level request rate limiting for creating, updating, deleting, and querying VCIs. This provides you with predictable service assurance. | China (Beijing) | 2022-11-25 | No |

Added GPU-accelerated g1v instance family | The GPU-accelerated g1v instance family is available on a limited basis. These apply to scenarios such as deep learning and scientific computing. | China (Beijing) | 2022-09-08 | |
Configuration of security contexts at the instance and container levels | When you create a VCI, you can define permissions and access control at the instance and container levels by using security contexts.This prevents containers from performing unauthorized operations that affect the normal operation of other containers. | China (Beijing) | 2022-09-08 | |
| | China (Shanghai) | | |
| | China (Guangzhou) | | |
Binding the integer portion of the vCPUs to fixed CPUs for instances configured with non-integer vCPUs | For instances that are configured with non-integer vCPUs (such as 1.5), this feature binds the integer portion of the vCPUs (such as 1 vCPU) to the hyper-threading of processor cores. This reduces the overhead caused by process switching across different CPUs and delivers stable performance through resource isolation. | China (Beijing) | 2022-09-08 | No |
| | China (Shanghai) | | |
| | China (Guangzhou) | | |
Optimized cleanup and release policies for instance metadata and quota | To facilitate cleaning up terminal instances (failed or succeeded) that occupy resources and quotas:

General availability of instance specifications with less than 1 vCPU for the general-purpose n1 instance family | Instance specifications with less than 1 vCPU of the general-purpose n1 instance family have exited beta and are generally available. These provide more flexible resource configuration capabilities and optimize usage costs. | China (Beijing) | 2022-08-04 | |
| | China (Shanghai) | | |

Integration with the quota center | VCI can be integrated with the Volcano Engine quota center to report resource usage. This facilitates obtaining resource usage information to plan resources accordingly. | China (Beijing) | 2022-06-23 | |
| | China (Shanghai) | | |
Secret-free image pulling add-on | VCI supports the cr-credential-controller add-on of VKE, which allows you to pull private images from CR without a secret during application creation. This effectively simplifies the workflow for integrating with CR and improves your user experience. | China (Beijing) | 2022-06-07 | |
Downward API | The downward API can be provided through data volumes, which allows containers to obtain information about themselves or the cluster. This approach prevents excessive coupling with Kubernetes. | China (Beijing) | 2022-06-07 | No |
Pod DNS policy | You can set the DNS policy to Default. In this case, the DNS service of the Volcano Engine VPC will be used. | China (Beijing) | 2022-06-07 | No |
