Announcing Trento Version 2.4

Share
Share

Features in the first versions of Trento have been developed around two major cornerstones: observability/monitoring and configuration checks. The latest version of Trento brings its core competences to enterprise-grade level and opens the door to future features around a third cornerstone: operation/automation.

New Permission-based User Management System with Optional MFA

Trento 2.4 brings a local permission-based user management system that allows to segregate different roles: user managers, SAP administrators with display-only access, SAP administrators with configuration permissions and SAP administrators with execution permissions. Additionally, users can enable Multi Factor Authentication for increased security.

User Profile with TOTP

 

Single Sign-On and Third-party IDP Integration via OIDC, OAUTH2 and SAML Protocols

For centralized user management purposes, Trento can integrate with third-party identity providers using OIDC, OAUTH2 and SAML protocols. When such integration is enabled, users are provided by the identity manager server but permissions are still managed within Trento.

 

Login with Single Sign-On

 

Contextual, Detailed Overview of Available Patches and Upgradable Packages in the SUSE Multi-Linux Manager Integration

Trento 2.4 deepens the integration with SUSE Multi-Linux Manager by providing a overview of available patches/advisories and upgradable packages for each registered host that is also managed by SUMA. For each advisory displayed in these overviews, a details view is available with relevant information about it, such as whether it requires a reboot or no, associated vulnerabilities (CVEs), or a list of affected hosts.

Delivery of Trento Checks Decoupled from Delivery of Core Functionality

Trento Checks have always been a integral part of the Trento Server and, particularly, the Checks Engine component known as Wanda. But starting with version 2.4 they are delivered separately. This will enable customers to update their Checks catalog with new checks or changes to existing checks as soon as they are released, without having to wait for a full new-version cycle release. This will be possible regardless the chosen deployment type for Trento Server: on K8s, systemd or containerized.

Along with this decoupling, the Checks themselves have been relicensed from Apache 2.0 to GPL 3.0.

Enhanced Discovery Capabilities

Trento 2.4 is able to discover Pacemaker clusters using SAPHanaSR-angi and SAP systems running on JAVA stacks.

More Configuration Checks

Last but not least, the latest version of Trento brings new configuration checks for HANA scale-out clusters and additional configuration checks for ASCS/ERS clusters.

Alberto Bravo With an academic background in Applied Maths, Alberto devoted the 21 first years of his professional career to the world of SAP Basis. In these years he worked both for the consulting side and the end-customer side, and wore many different hats along the way: from individual contributor as Basis resource or SAP Architect to project or team manager leading complex initiatives in complex SAP environments. Two years ago, Alberto joined SUSE to become the Product Owner of Trento, a solution that SUSE is developing under the umbrella of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications to help SAP Basis resources in their day-to-day work. As a former SAP Basis resource himself, Alberto's goal is to bring his experince on the field to the table and make Trento as useful as possible for his fellow Basis colleagues. Alberto is particularly interested in the migration of SAP workloads to the cloud and the automation of SAP deployments and their operation in hyperscalers. Originally from Spain, Alberto has spent most of his career in the United States and it´s only recently that he relocated back to Europe.
