July 2016 Summaries

Vultr has significantly enhanced its customer referral program by more than doubling the benefits, offering $30 to users for each new customer they refer, while the referred customer receives $20 in free credit to begin using Vultr's high-performance platform. This promotion is designed to provide mutual benefits and encourage more users to join and explore Vultr's offerings. Existing users can log in to their customer portal to access further details about participating in this new promotion.

Vultr has launched an updated version of its Metadata API, enhancing the deployment process for newly deployed cloud servers by enabling the creation of flexible deployment scripts through a locally accessible API. This new service allows servers to access detailed configuration data, which aids in making intelligent deployment decisions and reporting health status to a central controlling cluster. The locally available data includes network interfaces, IP addresses, geographic region information, and public SSH keys, facilitating a more automated and informed setup process for cloud instances. Users are encouraged to provide feedback through Vultr's contact page or Twitter.
