What's new and upcoming with Citrix technology and features

With this feature, in a VMware environment, you can move the disk storage of existing VMs from an old storage to a new storage. During migration, MCS retains VM capabilities such as power management, reset OS disk, and so on. You can also add new VMs to the machine catalog using the new disk storage.

Previously, you could only select 'VM' as an input for machine profile. With this feature, you can also select a launch template from the inventory list and use it as an input for machine profile to create and update an MCS machine catalog.

When you create a catalog to provision machines using Machine Creation Services (MCS) in AWS, you can now use MachineProfile property to capture hardware properties from a virtual machine and apply them to newly provisioned VMs in the catalog.

Proactive service alerts in Full Configuration. A flag icon is now available in the upper-right corner of Home, and a Troubleshoot tab appears for each zone that has issues. Currently, this feature gives you proactive warnings and alerts to make sure that your Local Host Cache and zones are configured correctly so that when an outage happens Local Host Cache works and your users are not impacted.

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.

Citrix VDA 2308 is now available with VDA Upgrade Service

Citrix Cloud administrators can change their email address from their "My profile" page in Citrix Cloud.  

In Azure environments, you can now enable customer-managed encryption-keys (CMEK) for Citrix Provisioning catalogs created by MCS.
