AWS Lambda Container deployment now supported

There are many different deployment options you can currently use to deploy Aembit Edge Components in your environment, including GitHub Actions, GitLab Jobs, and Kubernetes.

To increase the available deployment options for our users, Aembit now provides support for users who wish to deploy Aembit Edge Components to an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Lambda Container.

For more detailed information on how to deploy Aembit Edge Components to AWS Lambda Containers, please refer to the AWS Lambda Container technical documentation.

GeoIP Access Conditions and Google Cloud Storage Log Streams now available

Aembit has released two new features on Aembit Cloud:

  • Access Condition support for Geographic IP (GeoIP) restrictions
  • Log Stream support for streaming to Google Cloud Storage Buckets

Aembit GeoIP Access Conditions

You may now configure and add Aembit GeoIP conditions in your Aembit Tenant. This new Access Condition type enables you to explicitly designate which countries/regions will have access to Server Workloads from policy-enabled Client Workloads.

For more information on this feature, please refer to the Access Conditions for GeoIP Restriction page.

Google Cloud Storage Bucket Log Streams

Aembit now supports Log Streams that target Google Cloud Storage (GCS) Buckets. You may add or configure this new Log Stream destination type in the Administration tab of your Aembit Tenant.

For more information on this feature, please refer to the Google Cloud Storage Bucket Log Streams page.

Kerberos Trust Provider now available for Active Directory

Aembit has released a Kerberos Trust Provider that enables the attestation of Client Workloads running in virtual machine environments joined to Active Directory. This attestation method is specifically designed for on-premise deployments where alternative attestation methods, such as AWS or Azure metadata service trust providers, are not available.

For more detailed information on this Kerberos Trust Provider, please refer to the Kerberos Trust Provider technical documentation.

SAML SSO authentication now available for administrators

Aembit now supports SAML/SSO authentication for administrators who wish to simplify the Aembit Tenant login process for their users. Instead of requiring a user to enter their username/password credentials every time a user tries to access the Aembit Tenant, users will now be able to use a 3rd party SAML SSO Provider (e.g. Google, Okta, Microsoft Entrata) to log into the tenant.

For more information on how to configure Identity Providers using SAML, please see the Configuring Identity Providers technical documentation.

Access Authorization Events and Google Cloud Run Jobs support now available

Support for Access Authorization Events

Aembit has now enabled support for Access Authorization Events. Access Authorization Events enable customers to observe credential requests.

Support for Google CloudRun Jobs as Client Workloads

Aembit supports Google CloudRun Jobs as Client Workloads. With this support, you can now:

  • authenticate to the Aembit IdP using Attestation with the GCP Cloud Run Job Identity

  • request and retrieve a secret from GCP Secret Manager

Agent Controller high availability now supported

The Aembit Agent Controller can now be installed in high availability configurations. Because the Agent Controller is a critical Aembit Edge Component that manages Agent Proxy registration and credential acquisition for Aembit Cloud access, HA support was necessary to ensure the continuous availability of the Agent Controller.

For information on installing and configuring Agent Controller in high availability environments, please see the Agent Controller High Availability page.

MFA support and Linux virtual machine Edge deployment now available

Several new feature updates and additions have been made to improve Aembit user experience. These updates include:

  • Admin console multi-factor authentication support
  • Edge components VM deployment support

Multi-factor authentication support

Aembit now supports Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) so users can provide different authentication methods. Users can:

  • scan a QR code to configure their compatible authentication application
  • retrieve MFA Recovery Codes in case the device or application is unavailable
  • view the users who have configured MFA within the Aembit Users view.

Linux-based VM deployment support

Users may now deploy Aembit Edge Components to VMs (non-Kubernetes). This feature enables users to have options on how they want to deploy these components.

For more detailed information about this feature, please see the virtual machine Installation page.

Dynamic Claims now available for Credential Providers

Aembit has released a new feature for Credential Providers called “Dynamic Claims.” This feature allows you to set the Subject claim and Custom claims with either literal strings or dynamic values when setting up Credential Providers in your Aembit client tenant.

For more detailed information about Dynamic Claims, please refer to Dynamic Claims page

This feature is currently only supported for Vault integration.
