CoPilot Features Enabled By 7.2.4820

Release Date: 15 October 2024

The following features are now accessible in the CoPilot UI when integrated with the Controller 7.2.4820 release.

New and Enhanced Features in CoPilot

Proxy Management for Aviatrix Edge Platform

Customers deploying Edge on physical appliances like Dell and HPE hardware, can now configure explicit and transparent proxies for Edge OS management connectivity outbound. The proxy support allows enterprises to leverage the proxies in their environment and Edge OS can now seamlessly call home via proxy server configuration.

You can configure proxy profiles for Edge Platform network connections from Cloud Fabric > Edge > Devices. You can create multiple proxy profiles to route traffic based on organizational requirements.

Edge Transit Gateways

This release provides a major new capability for Aviatrix Edge Gateways. Edge Transit Gateways have been added to provide a secure, high-performance networking solution designed to simplify and accelerate hybrid and multi-cloud connectivity. Edge Transit Gateways enable seamless routing and end-to-end encryption across various cloud providers and on-premises environments, while providing centralized management and operational visibility. This feature is available at Cloud Fabric > Hybrid Cloud > Edge Gateways.

Edge Transit Gateways is a GA Feature for Aviatrix Edge Platform (AEP) and is a Preview Feature for Equinix Network Edge and Megaport Virtual Edge (MVE) in this Controller release.

NetFlow Sampling Rate Setting

An option has been added to Settings > Configuration > Logging Services > NetFlow Agent that allows you to set the NetFlow sampling rate. Adjusting the sampling rate can reduce storage requirements and, in some cases, could provide a more accurate representation of NetFlow.

FlowIQ, CostIQ, and Anomaly Detection will factor in the sampling rate in the individual features. The sampling rate cannot be set to less than 100% for ThreatIQ and Geoblocking, if you are currently using those features. For more information, see Configuring the Aviatrix NetFlow Agent

GCP Underlay Support on Edge

This release now supports the option of terminating Google interconnect connection on Edge Gateways and the ability to set up BGP to Google Cloud Router.

Visibility Updates

On Cloud Resources > Cloud Assets, a column displaying associated Availability Zones has been added to the Virtual Machines and the VPC/VNets & Subnets tabs.
