v2.0.0-rc2

[PoeppingT]

Hello curious reader! 🚀 This release marks the third and final release candidate for the v2 multi-container release of SaaS Boost. This release candidate contains loads of bugfixes to bring the highest quality bar for multi-container, as well as some new features: a new Tier UI for easy use in the Admin UI, enhancements to the Installer for v2, and new support for FSX ONTAP as a filesystem in applications.

A very special thank you to those members of our community that have participated in the pre-release discussions for multi-container: both kicking the tires and submitting bug reports, and congratulations to two new contributors: @AditModi and @muylucir ! We hope you stick around 😄

As before, the discussion for v2.0.0 release candidates continues in the discussion: #206

@PoeppingT Thank you.

We are using version v2.0.0-rc1. Can we update this new release (v2.0.0-rc2) by installing the SaaS Boost again with the option " Update Web Application for existing AWS SaaS Boost deployment"?

[PoeppingT]

Hi @tomg-formpak , that option in the installer only updates the Administrative UI for SaaS Boost. Instead use the "Update existing AWS SaaS Boost deployment." option.
