Function	Description	Release date	Region	References
Auto Scaling Load Balancer	The Auto Scaling feature of vLB helps users by: Optimizing performance: Ensures that vLB always has enough resources to handle traffic, preventing overload. Saving costs: Automatically reduces the number of LB Slaves when traffic is low, helping you save costs. Simplifying management: No need to manually monitor and adjust the vLB scale. It automatically adjusts the number of Slaves based on traffic.	13/08/2024	HCM03	Auto Scaling Load Balancer
POC wallet for Terraform	Currently, with the increasing demand from customers for using Terraform services, VNG Cloud has added support for providing POC (Proof of Concept) for the Terraform service. This allows customers to easily trial the service on VNG Cloud before deciding to fully use it. As of now, the POC wallet supports services including vServer, vStorage, vMonitor, Terraform, and VKS.	06/08/2024	HCM03-HAN01	Argument Integration with Terraform
DHCP Options Sets	With the need to customize the DNS Server for virtual machines, DHCP Options Sets allow the specification of DNS Server IP addresses for virtual machines within a VPC. This helps control and optimize how virtual machines access network services and resolve domain names. This feature is currently applied in the HCM03 region.	10/09/2024	HCM03	DHCP Options Set

Bandwidths	VNG Cloud is pleased to introduce an upgrade to the Bandwidths service within the VNG Cloud ecosystem. Specifically, this upgrade includes: Interface Upgrade:The new interface is optimized and consistent with other services on VNG Cloud, featuring a modern and intuitive design, making it easier for you to search, view information, and perform actions quickly and conveniently. Feature Upgrade: Diverse Package Classification: Instead of offering only two packages, Dedicated package and Shared Pool as before, VNG Cloud will introduce two new package types: VNG Dedicated and Pay as you go. Pricing Method Change: All four Bandwidth packages will now use a pricing model based on GB usage instead of Mbps as previously. This helps customers easily track and manage their Bandwidth usage costs. Other Feature Upgrades: Flexible Bandwidth Management: Customers can easily change their Bandwidth package or upgrade/downgrade their usage capacity directly within the VNG Cloud interface. Add IP for Bandwidth Usage: Customers can easily add new IPs to the appropriate bandwidth package when their usage needs increase, without needing to change complex system configurations. Currently, VNG Cloud is maintaining both the old and new bandwidth portals in parallel. We plan to close the old bandwidth portal on July 7, 2024. During this time, the system will not automatically switch your old Bandwidth packages to the new portal. You will need to manually delete the old Bandwidth packages on the old portal and purchase new packages on the new portal.	07/06/2024	HCM-03	Bandwidth
