Happy to let you know what Era 2.0 has been release. There are a lot of new features and new functionality in Era 2.0 and i have been working with quite a few of them already.
The single most important new feature in my opinion is the Multi-Cluster Support
Era multi-cluster capability allows you to manage databases across multiple Nutanix clusters. The Era server runs in one Nutanix cluster and in the remote Nutanix clusters there is a Era VM (Era Agent) deployed to manage, schedule, perform, and execute database operations of that cluster.
