DPoD Introduces New Quorum Policy Features and Improvements

The Quorum Feature is no longer in the test preview stage and is now available to all tenants.

New Features and Improvements:

  • Disable and Re-Enable Quorum Policies -> Tenant Admins can now disable and re-enable quorum policies directly from the Management Console without contacting Thales Support. Disabling a policy requires quorum approval at the defined threshold, and any pending or approved quorum requests under the disabled policy are automatically canceled. Re-enabling a policy takes effect immediately and does not require quorum approval.
  • Quorum Approval and Revocation Notifications -> All users in the tenant now receive email notifications when a quorum is approved or revoked.
  • Quorum Policy Audit Logging -> All policy enable/disable actions, quorum approvals, rejections, and automatic cancelations are now logged with complete user and timestamp details.
  • Policy Change History -> A complete history of enable/disable changes and parameter modifications is now maintained for each quorum policy.
  • Email Notifications for Policy Changes -> Email notifications are sent for disable requests, approver votes, quorum achievement, and quorum cancelations due to policy disablement.
  • Audit Logs for Deleted Services -> The Audit Logs page now lets you filter and view results for both active and deleted services. 
  • Quorum Action Logs -> Audit logs now capture quorum-related actions linked to services for a complete audit trail.

    For further details please see the Quorum Policies page.
The following API commands have also been updated:
  • Return active Service Instances -> New optional query parameter `includeDeleted` (boolean, default `false`). When set to `true`, the response includes deleted service instances with a new `deleted_at` field. Existing integrations are unaffected. 
  • Create an asynchronous job to export audit logs -> Now automatically includes logs for deleted services when the requesting user has appropriate permissions.
