PINNED Add support to controllerWorkflow script to restart BPs that are in "completed, error" state by individual BP IDs
During system issues, we are unable to bulk restart the BP IDs at a time. This is causing huge support effort in the clean-up process. Existing controllerWorkflow.sh script doesn't have a solution to restart the BPIDs that are in "completed, error...
PINNED Present Multiple Host Keys - RSA and ECDSA

Provide support for S3 compatible storage

While many customers use S3 they may wish to use other vendors and universal support for S3 versus just AWS would be helpful

Add proxy authentication to the bulk upload utility

Without authentication, we cannot get out from behind our proxy. We use Forcepoint proxies. The script fails and we need to bypass auth or the proxy altogether to be able to get out. This causes a delay in our testing.

Ability to have a read-only view of the PEM log files from within the UI

Similar to how Sterling Integrator has a Logs page within the dashboard UI by which an admin can view (read only) SI logs within a browser window, it would be nice for cloud instances of PEM if a similar feature was available for sponsor admins. T...

Add support for AWS S3 storage as the back end file system instead of requiring a Clustered File System/NAS Share

AWS EFS does not provide adequate performance or HA to be used as the back end file system for file storage, and EBS can not be clustered across multiple nodes. Native support for S3 object storage would enable us to take advantage of the upcoming...

Either allow for generic or service accounts with non-expiring passwords or allow for other authentication means for apps that are making calls. Resetting every x days is intrusive.
