ZopDay Developer Seats: Assign Now, Reduce at Renewal
Admins assign and unassign developer seats. Members beyond the purchased count show as Waiting. Seats can be added anytime but reduced only at renewal.

FinOps on ZopCloud Billing: One Row a Day, Not Hundreds

Free Cloud Audit: Compliance Findings Shown, the Rest Locked
A free audit only works if it shows enough to be believable and locks enough to stay free. ZopNight's new cloud audit flow lets a visitor sign up, connect a cloud account with read-only access, and…
ZopDay VM Container Secrets Live in Your Cloud's Secret Manager
A secret is safe only if there is no later screen where it can be read. ZopDay VM services now let an org admin mark an environment variable as Secret, in a service's Settings and in Deploy a new…
