IoT Edge Connect has been updated to help improve performance, scale and reliability of the service. Updates include:

• Improved routing performance for the distributed broker when using wildcard subscriptions.
• Improved QoS1 message performance for identified performance hot spots.
• Improved wildcard subscriptions performance for cases when millions of clients are subscribing to a single level wildcard topic structure, such as example/customer/topic/structure/+.
• Enhanced internal metrics monitoring to help customers ensure the proper operation of the service they manage.

IoT Edge Connect has been updated to help support the scale and stability requirements of users moving forward. Changes include:

• QoS 2 downgrade support. Message publication and subscription at QoS level 2 is no longer supported. Now, when a client attempts to subscribe to QoS 2, the service informs about supported QoS levels, and responds to the request with a maximum indicated QoS 1 level in the SUBACK response message. The service delivers messages at QoS 1 and QoS 0 as appropriate.

Other updates:

Several internal improvements to the overall stability and performance of the service.

New feature:

• Oracle Cloud Storage support. We have enabled Oracle Cloud Storage as a destination to send log data in the DataStream application and the DataStream 2 API. See the DataStream 2 User Guide and the DataStream 2 API for details on how to configure Oracle Cloud as a connector for your stream.

New features:

• Sumo Logic support. DataStream 2 now allows you to choose Sumo Logic as a destination to send your Akamai logs for detailed analysis. See the DataStream 2 User Guide for details on how to configure Sumo Logic as connectors for your stream.

Enhancement:
