What’s new in 3.4.4

Stack and license commands are now deprecated. These commands used for infrastructure provisioning rarely suited the diversity of our clients infrastructure stacks and specific hosting constraints.

We’ve decided to solely focus on the continuous integration to help you where we can make the most impact: Building and deploying easily your automation projects !

BCD Stack and license commands will soon be removed in the up-coming BCD versions.

If you are managing your stacks with BCD, we recommend using the following tools to replace BCD stack feature for your provisioning:

Ansible

Configuration management

Terraform

Infrastructure automation

boto3, aws cli

Manage AWS credentials and services

Azure SDK for Python
