Branding & Theme Enhancements¶
This release builds on branding and theme enhancements from the previous release. These changes provide greater branding flexibility and a unified experience.
Primary, Secondary and Sidebar Colors¶
Admins can now configure custom primary, secondary, and sidebar colors, expanding beyond the previously limited primary/secondary options.
Instant Preview¶
Admins are provided with an instant preview showing what the updates to the theme would look like.
Reset to Default¶
As admins attempt changes, they may make mistakes and may wish to go back to the default settings. Admins can quickly reset changes to factory default by clicking on the reset button.
Logos¶
In the Ops Console, admins can now provide the logos for dark and light background modes.
Info
The "dark background logo" is used for the left hand menu section in the end user facing self service portal. The "light background logo" is used for the login and sign up pages.
Favico Images¶
In the Ops Console, admins can now provide the favico images for the web console.
Background Image¶
In the Ops Console, admins can now customize the background image that is presented to the user on the login screen. In the example below, a Nvidia logo has been used for the background image which will be displayed to all users when they login to the web console.
URLs in Self Service Portal¶
In the Ops Console, admins can now specify custom URLs for the following.
- Terms of Service
- Privacy Policy, and
- Online Documentation
These will then be dynamically updated in the end user facing web console in the login and sign up pages
Inline Privacy Policy URL¶
In the Ops Console, admins can now specify if the Privacy Policy URL should be displayed to the end user inline when they login to the self service portal.
An illustrative example of the end user experience is shown below.
Themed Login and Sign Up Pages¶
End user login and account sign up pages now use the admin configured theme ensuring consistent themes across the entire platform.
Shown below is an example of a themed login page.
Shown below is an example of a themed sign-up page.
Customize Logon Page Components¶
In the Ops Console, admins can now customize the text in the components that are displayed to end users on the login page. Specifically, the text for the following components can be customized
- Login Button
- Login with SSO Button
- Account Signup Text
- Sign Up URL
- Page Layout
Shown below is an image showing the "default" experience on the left and the "customized" version to the right. Note that the customized version shows the text "Sign On" instead of the default text "Logon".
Shown below is an example of a customized login page of the end user facing self service portal.
Single Sign On (SSO) Improvements¶
For Cloud Providers that have configured an IdP for user authentication, the end user experience has been enhanced and optimized. The end user does not have to click on login with sso button. They will be automatically redirected to the IdP for SSO Only Users. Shown below is a brief video showing the optimized user experience.
Info
If the user is both a Local and SSO user, then they are presented with both options β> i.e. login with SSO and login with password.
Schedules¶
Schedules allows for automated start/stop/custom actions on resources based on cron expressions and time zone. Schedules can be defined at various levels:
- Project (e.g. a team)
- Compute/Service Profile (e.g. a SKU)
- Instance (e.g a deployed VM or notebook)
π Learn more about Schedules.
Email Notifications¶
Cloud Provider administrators can now configure email providers for user notifications. SMTP and SendGrid are the currently supported providers. When enabled, end users will automatically receive notifications for scenarios such as the following:
- Temporary password for new users
- Password reset workflows
- Self service sign up of new orgs, etc
Host Cluster Capacity Check for vClusters¶
The platform has been enhanced to keep track of the Host Clusterβs node-level capacity. So, when a vCluster creation request comes in, the platform will identify and allocate a node that can satisfy the requested GPU type and count.
Info
The end user will be presented with an error message if capacity for the vCluster cannot be allocated.
v3.1-32¶
18 July, 2025 (est.)
Container Deployment Wizard¶
End users can use Rafay's wizard type workflow to deploy their container images to the Kubernetes cluster or virtual cluster based compute instances without having to write a single line of Kubernetes YAML. Based on the user's inputs, Rafay will automatically generate a deployment YAML specification and deploy it to an isolated namespace in the shared/tenant specific cluster.
Pod as a Service¶
A new type of compute (Pod-as-a-Service) is now available for providers to offer their end users.
Users can request environments via CLI or via Rafay's self service portal by specifying "OS, container image, GPU, and SSH keys". Unlike a VM or a Kubernetes Cluster, the environment is provisioned in ~30 seconds. The end user is then provided with seamless SSH and HTTPS web access to the deployed environments.
