Citrix Cloud Updates

Auto-tagging allows administrators to set and remove tags on various DaaS objects automatically, based on custom rules. This eliminates the need to maintain different scripts that run periodically for environment optimization.

Previously, you could only use KMS to activate VMs. With this feature, now you can also activate persistent and non-persistent VMs provisioned through MCS using Multiple Activation Key (MAK). Each VM is activated once using MAK. 

This feature enables you to assign a drive letter for MCSIO WBC disk.

We are introducing support for Federated Authentication Service (FAS) across multi-tenant environments

Using this feature, you can use Azure Active Directory joined image to create machine catalog.

When you create a catalog in Azure environment, you can now specify the page file setting, including the location and size, explicitly using the  PoSH command. This will override the value determined by MCS. 

Using this feature, you can now change the network setting for an existing Provisioning Scheme so that the new VMs are created on the new subnetwork. 

In Azure environments, this feature tags catalog resources using ProvSchemeID for resources created for a particular catalog

You can now create a catalog that supports AWS EC2 hibernation.  The hibernation process stores the in-memory state of the instance, along with its private and elastic IP addresses, allowing it to pick up exactly where it left off.

Previously, you could use only VMs as machine profiles. You can now use ARM template specs as machine profiles as well when creating Azure machine catalogs. This feature lets you take advantage of Azure ARM template features such as versioning. To ensure that the selected spec is configured correctly and contains required configurations, we perform validation on it. If the validation fails, you are prompted to select a different machine profile.
