What's New June 24, 2021
New Features and Improvements
- (New Feature update): Tanzu Mission Control now allows platform operators to centrally manage and make available credentials for use by the Tanzu Observability integration. This new feature encourages the best practice use of Tanzu Observability service account credentials rather than personal API tokens when adding the integration to a cluster.
As a platform operator, you can create new service account credentials in the Tanzu Observability console. Then, using the Tanzu Mission Control Administration page, you can add it as a new Tanzu Observability credential and make it available to users through an account access policy. Cluster administrators can then select an available credential from a list when adding Tanzu Observability to the cluster.
For more information, see Create a Tanzu Observability Credential Object in Using Tanzu Mission Control.

New Features and Improvements
- (New Feature update): Storage and object limits are now supported in quota policies implemented through the Tanzu Mission Control console. Additionally, the Policy insights page shows alerts when resource requests approach or meet quota policy limits.
- (New Feature update): Tanzu Mission Control now allows you to bring your own storage solution for data protection. With customer-provisioned target locations, you can provide the endpoint URL and credentials for an existing AWS S3 or S3-compatible storage location, and share it across cluster groups. After configuring a target location, you can use it when performing cluster backups.

Then, cluster administrators can add Tanzu Service Mesh to managed clusters and designate which namespaces should belong in the mesh. Tanzu Mission Control takes care of the installation of service mesh components in the cluster, provides health status, and onboards it into Tanzu Service Mesh. For advanced configuration, you can open the Tanzu Service Mesh console directly from the Integrations card of the cluster detail page.

New Features and Improvements
Bug Fixes
- Bug fix for adding multiple host paths while creating a security policy.
Known Issues
- The first time a user clicks out to the Wavefront console after enabling the Tanzu Observability by Wavefront integration for a cluster, the user is taken to the default Wavefront Kubernetes dashboard instead of to the Kubernetes dashboard that is specific to the cluster where the integration was just enabled. Going back to the TMC cluster detail view and clicking out to Wavefront again (and all subsequent times) takes the user to the Kubernetes dashboard for that cluster as intended.

Custom policies in Tanzu Mission Control are implemented using the Gatekeeper project from Open Policy Agent (OPA).
