Documentation changelog

All notable documentation changes in reverse chronological order, following Keep a Changelog.

June 2026#

Added#

• Get started onboarding sequence: a sequenced first-mile checklist at the top of the Quickstart covering account, organization, project and tier choice, and access setup, linking into the Account and Tools sections instead of duplicating them.
• Conceptual pages deep-audit program (complete): editorial pass across ~38 standalone explanation pages covering platform, account, security, automation, Kubernetes, compute, network, block storage, and object storage concepts.
• Operational how-to top 12: new cross-cutting operational guides with cross-links from quickstart, tutorials, and concept pages.
• Docs landing index tables: scannable content-type tables beneath each service card on the documentation home page.
• Solutions expansion: workload-migration sections on all Solutions leaves; dedicated migration tutorials per workload; new leaves for WordPress/CMS, data pipelines, Web3/stablecoin infrastructure, RPC nodes, and wallet backends; creator-ops taxonomy (creator businesses, podcast/audio, live streaming).
• Linode/Akamai and Vultr migration coverage: full evaluation and migration page sets with knowledge-graph wiring.
• Ecommerce storefront IaC template and tutorial: purpose-built OpenTofu template with PCI-DSS payment-processor offload pattern.
• Platform validation page: explains how documentation, IaC templates, and launch manifests are checked against the live platform.
• Quake AI rebrand callout on the platform overview linking to the Rum Group realignment announcement.

Changed#

• Quickstart first build merged and resized: Launch your first server is now the single canonical first build, resized to the Developer-plan footprint (s1a.micro on PublicEphemeral); the overlapping deploy-first-server tutorial is retired and its inbound links point here instead.
• Storage information architecture: block storage and object storage promoted to top-level /docs/block and /docs/object sections; storage hub folded into platform overview; bucket policy guides merged into the object reference catalog.
• Reference consolidation: scattered content/docs/**/reference/** pages moved into the dedicated /reference section.
• Migration guides deep audit: rewritten provider landing pages for AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, OpenStack, OpenStack for AWS developers, and plan your object storage migration.
• Solutions brief rebuild: diagram-centered rewrites across industry and functional leaves; hero diagrams exported as downloadable SVG, PNG, and PDF.
• Admonition audit (complete): validation-leak and product-steering voice removed from callouts across console references, how-tos, solutions, platform, and operate sections.
• Quake AI rebrand sweep: customer-facing prose updated from Rumble Cloud to Quake AI across documentation, resources, reference, and solutions surfaces; disqualifying "what Rumble does not have" migration headings reframed.
• 2026-Q3 validation closeout: final re-verify of Plan A tutorials, Plan B migration pages, and CLI/API reference; console screenshots reshot against the live Quake AI-branded Console.
• Validated-template claims: first "validated template" mention on each page now links to the bounded validation explanation.
• Voice lint: lint:voice flipped from warn-only to strict (mirrors the em-dash gate).

Removed#

• Rumble Drive documentation section and all live references (product surface retired).
• persona_relevance frontmatter and persona-scoring tooling from the knowledge graph.

May 2026#

Added#

• Diataxis tutorials:
  • Build a private network with two VMs: private subnet, router, bastion SSH pattern.
  • Deploy your first app on Kubernetes: cluster creation through load-balancer exposure.
• Conceptual explanations:
  • Account model: organization, project, team roles, and credentials.
  • Credentials and tools: how CLI, application credentials, API tokens, S3 credentials, and SSH keys fit together.
• Solutions leaves: AI-native development, creator businesses, podcast/audio publishing, live streaming/restream; creator-ops taxonomy entries.
• FAQ entries: Magnum trust-delegation requirements under application credentials and Kubernetes cluster operations.
• OpenStack card on the /resources landing page.

Changed#

• 2026-Q3 content validation program: live-platform walks across tutorials, how-tos, console references, CLI/API catalogs, and migration pages; findings filed and remediated via Plan A (tutorial/how-to) and Plan B (migration/evaluation) lanes.
• Console reference accuracy: volume and floating IP reference pages rewritten to match the Console workflows; eight Console label drifts corrected.
• Kubernetes how-tos: create-cluster, create-cluster-template, and manage-cluster aligned with live Magnum wizard labels, trust-delegation callouts, and gear-menu flows.
• AI tutorial stack: deploy-vector-database, deploy-rag-pipeline, deploy-ai-agent, and run-local-llm updated for current package APIs, Flowise 3.x bootstrap, and security group prerequisites.
• Console naming: customer docs standardized on "the Console" (not Skyline) per editorial rule; later swept to Quake AI product noun in June.
• Vale prose lint: 594 error-severity hits cleared; lint:prose runs green across the corpus.
• Explicit description frontmatter backfilled on 20 high-traffic pages.
• last_validated refresh on 189 pages stale 30+ days (set to 2026-05-19).
• Broken /iac/templates/ link pattern removed from 15 files; template source renders inline on template pages.
• Resources landing reorder: IaC templates card first; migration lower in the grid.

April 2026#

Added#

• Error documentation initiative: structured error handling coverage across all services:
  • Retry and resilience patterns: error classification, status code retry map, exponential backoff with jitter, idempotency guidance, Bash and Python implementations.
  • API rate limits: quotas vs. rate limits comparison, /limits endpoint documentation, HTTP 429 handling, industry context (DigitalOcean, Hetzner, AWS).

• Console URL path corrections across instance snapshots, networks, topology, Kubernetes, and automation pages.

• Content gaps filled across console reference pages for security group rules, volume detail tabs, network topology, and port columns.
