Containerization

Almost all PacketFence services have been containerized for the v12 release. This foundation work allows PacketFence to be deployed in a Kubernetes cluster environment.

Visualization

PacketFence v12 provides many new visualizations options for assets, threats and network communication flows. Perform asset and inventory management by either Fingerbank top-level category or a custom search with any node, ipv4 or ipv6 criteria. Summarize and review all security events and remediate individual events from a single dashboard. Summarize the network communication for any/all devices in a single graph and filter by Fingerbank top-level category, internal or external hosts, protocol and port.

Geo-distributed Database

PacketFence v12 now integrates ProxySQL - allowing us to R/W split database operations to improve handling with geo-distributed MySQL8 databases. This release aims to support deployments where 50-60 ms latency is observed and much higher latencies will be supported in upcoming releases.

Cluster Services

Manage PacketFence services for all cluster members from a single host while maintaining the cluster's quorum. Protected services needed by the UI in order to function can now be restarted from the UI without having to worry about network disconnects. Improved visibility of service status of all cluster members.

... and more!

PacketFence v12 provides additional important improvements such as Meraki RBAC support, Sophos VPN integration, CSR signing from the PacketFence PKI and much more.
