Citrix Cloud Updates

You can now create configuration partitions within a single Citrix DaaS instance. You achieve that by creating tenant scopes in Administrators > Scopes and associating related configuration objects, such as machine catalogs and delivery groups, with those tenants. As a result, administrators with access to a tenant can manage only objects that are associated with the tenant. This feature is useful, for example, if your organization has independent divisions or separate IT management teams. Also, the Full Configuration interface lets you filter tenant customers by name. By default, the interface displays information about all tenants.

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

With this feature, MCS provides new PoSH commands to list leaked resources that are created by MCS, but are no longer used by MCS on Azure.

Using the Full Configuration management console, global administrators can now save and restore current configurations.

Using Full Configuration, you can now change the size of MCS-provisioned VMs in Azure environments. The feature applies to both persistent VMs and non-persistent VMs.

The Full Configuration Management console supports simulation of policy application, which is also known as modeling.  The list of accepted and denied set of Citrix policies with appropriate reasons are displayed in the Resultant Set of Policies (RSoP). 

When you create a catalog to provision machines using Machine Creation Services (MCS) in VMware environments, you can now use a machine profile to capture properties such as tags, folder ID, and vSAN storage policy, from a virtual machine and apply them to the newly provisioned VMs in the catalog.

With this feature, you can now change the configurations specific to an individual persistent VM such as VM size, which will overwrite catalog level configuration.

With this feature, in Google Cloud virtualization environments, you can now reset the OS disk of a persistent VM to the latest master image in an MCS created machine catalog.

With this feature, in Azure environments, you can change a legacy machine catalog to a machine profile based machine catalog. This will enable you to acquire many new features from the machine profile, such as tags, accelerated networking, and so on, without recreating the machine catalog.
