ECS Events
With this update, we improve rack and app visibility by including ECS events into the app logs.
Running convox logs --filter=ECS gives you the ability to see:

This gives you direct insight into what is happening with app process and help debug process that fail to start up.

EBS Encryption
Rack now has the ability to enable EBS encryption via a rack parameter:
convox rack params set EncryptEbs=Yes
With this parameter enabled, overall rack security increases via encrypted volumes.
It’s currently disabled to let users update existing racks and configure it as needed. But the plan is to enable it by default in a future release.
