Hi All,

Please find the release containing the improvements indicated in the
previous email[1].

We have not provided users with the option to select their choice of the
installer, mainly due to the fact that updates are not delivered in the
form of .deb and .rpm installers. As a result, the Ansible resources would
not be able to deliver continuous updates in the event installers are used
for deployment. Additionally, the location in which packages are installed
through installers cannot be changed. As a result, this introduces some
complexities in the Ansible setup. Therefore, we have decided to keep the
implementation of this feature on hold.

Additionally, system configurations can now be changed through Ansible to
optimize OS level performance. This is achieved by changing system level
configurations as indicated in the API Manager Performance Tuning
documentation[2]. Performance tuning is disabled by default. However,
instructions on enabling it are available on the Ansible GitHub
documentation[3].

In summary, the following additions have been implemented for the API
Manager Ansible scripts during the course of this week.

   - Support for packages and libraries to be downloaded into nodes from an
   external location through HTTP.
   - Performance tuning at an OS level through Ansible scripts.

The next step is to implement these additions for the Ansible setups for
Identity Server, Enterprise Integrator, and Stream Processor during the
course of next week.
