    CloudFormation Template (CFT)

    AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."

    Version release notes

    Helix Swarm 2025.1 - AWS Marketplace Release Notes Overview

    Helix Swarm 2025.1 is the latest release of Perforce's collaborative code review and workflow platform for Helix Core. This version introduces usability improvements for developers, enhanced platform compatibility, performance safeguards, and critical security updates.

    What's New Key Features

    Independent Code Selection in Diff Panel - Copy or highlight code separately on either side of the diff view, making reviews and discussions more precise.

    Support for RHEL 9.5 - Ensures compatibility with the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments.

    Library Upgrades - React updated to v18, MUI to v5, and jQuery to v3.7.1 for modernized UI and improved security.

    Enhanced Voting Tooltips - Tooltips now display the specific version where a vote was cast, reducing confusion in multi-version reviews.

    Stability & Performance Improvements

    Redis Authentication Fix - Secure password handling now works correctly.

    Large Changelist Protection - The "Request Review" button is disabled for changelists over 1,000 files to prevent out-of-memory issues.

    Optimized p4 describe - Reduces unnecessary load when displaying changelists.

    Mixed-Case Username Fix - Users on case-insensitive servers can now edit comments reliably.

    Consistent Timestamps - Default format now shows HH:MM:SS.

    Security Updates

    Patched Redis vulnerabilities (CVE-2024-46981 and CVE-2024-51741) to ensure compliance with enterprise security standards.

    Updated P4PHP to 2024.2 for compatibility with the latest Helix Core release.

    Documentation Enhancements

    Clearer installation instructions for Docker, Redis, and ImageMagick.

    Improved guidance on Workers, AI analysis, and Windows/Strawberry Perl environments.

    Review description search clarified (enabled by default without requiring Helix Search).

    Upgrade Guidance

    Back up Swarm configuration and test in staging before production deployment.

    Verify Redis settings and authentication.

    If upgrading from a version prior to 2024.2, update Helix Core to ensure full compatibility.

    Review UI customizations for compatibility with React 18 and MUI 5.
