Changelog

Version 49​

Release date: 2025/11/11

Cloud Tags and Cloud Daily Cost assisting cloud journeys​

Txture's Product Update v49 introduces new functionalities to enhance understanding of cloud estates for optimization and modernization. Key features include improved reporting and automation for cloud tags, enabling better governance and compliance by tracking tag usage and coverage. Additionally, the update provides daily as-is asset cost and aggregated application cost reports, allowing users to compare current and future optimized costs for cloud transformation initiatives. These features aim to streamline data collection and business case analysis for cloud journeys.

Other Improvements​

  • Data Segmentation: Improved handling of segmentations on numeric ranges.
  • Template Dashboards: Matching template dashboards are now displayed alongside matching report templates in the asset sheet.
  • Analytics and Reporting (APA): Enhanced filters in APA to switch between applications, business applications, and organizational units, enabling aggregated reports for the selected sub-type.
  • API Integration: Simplified core APIs for fetching assets, links, and the data structure definition, facilitating easier integration of Txture into other applications.
  • Performance: Improved performance and memory usage, particularly for large Excel importers.
  • AWS Data Source: The AWS data source now supports using the assume role functionality for authentication.

Version 48​

Release date: 2025/08/14

Embodied Emissions for CO2 reporting​

In addition to the existing runtime CO2 and energy emission footprint, we now offer reports on embodied emissions, also known as Scope 3 emissions. This functionality includes estimates of current emissions from infrastructure assets within your repository, as well as all cloud migration proposals.

Manual proposal modeling support for Custom Instances​

Previously, Txture supported custom machine types exclusively in auto-generated proposals. We have now extended this capability to manual modeling actions, allowing users to select and modify any custom or predefined instance within the instance selection modal. This enhancement facilitates the optimization of proposal configurations to meet specific requirements

Cloud tagging governance and management​

We have enhanced support for tags in cloud importers and assets. A dedicated property type for tags has been introduced and is now a default addition to all infrastructure asset types. Cloud importers are configured to map these tags by default, and our importer and change propagation scripts now include utility functions to manage tags.

FOCUS™ data ingestion improvements​

Significant improvements have been implemented for our FOCUS™ cost data connector. We are now capable of daily data imports and anticipate providing detailed reports in future releases.

Other improvements​

  • Various UI and UX enhancements have been made to the dashboard view.
  • Improvements to importer configuration: The system now auto-discovers configurations based on selected data sources.
  • Target Landscape Modification Improvements: All operations for selecting and modifying cloud proposals or shared components are now scheduled within a dedicated task system. This significantly improves handling for large instances with numerous simultaneous users working on proposals and shared components.

Version 47​

Release date: 2025/06/05

Overhaul of Reports Overview, Report Settings and Navigation​

The Reports section received a major UI overhaul, offering a new overview page. The settings in the individual report types now have a unified visual structure.

Application Portfolio Advisor: Best Approach per Application​

The Application Portfolio Advisor now has a new view which shows the cloud approach with the highest-ranking migration proposals per application, complementing the existing functionality to show the results per migration strategy and application. Furthermore we enriched the scoring per computed migration proposal. Next to cost and carbon savings we now summarized cloud benefit and migration effort for improved decision making. These scores also benefit users in the Transformation Cockpit.

Time Range Comparison Report​

A new report type which allows to aggregate property values across assets and across time. Optionally, it also allows users to compare the result with a different time period.

Cluster Matrix Improvements​

The Cluster Matrix Report has received many updates, improving its performance and scalability. Additionally, new path filters can be employed to further refine the results.

Company Currency​

So far, Txture always used US Dollar as the internal currency for all monetary computations, and all values coming into the system were immediately converted to that currency. Starting from Txture 47, Txture administrators can choose a “Company Currency” to be used for internal computations and in reporting. Furthermore, Txture now also tracks the input currencies, so any updates on exchange rates will be reflected accordingly.

Other improvements​

  • New application permission to control which users can export asset data in machine-readable formats
  • Tenants can now be assigned in change propagation rules
