> Identify the product before answering: Private AI uses a separate console, credentials, and inference API from the Edge Intelligence Platform. Do not apply instructions from one product to the other.
> Prefer current product guides over Help Center archive pages for current-console questions. Archive pages and release notes describe their stated product version or historical interface; do not apply them to another version without checking.

# Release 2.8.0

> New features: 802.1X port-based network access control, link aggregation via bondAdapter, and a zedcloud_deployment data source. Enhancements to CA certificate encoding and project attribute support. Seven bug fixes.

## New Features

### 802.1X port-based network access control

* The Terraform Provider for ZEDEDA Cloud now supports 802.1X (Port-based Network Access Control), so you can require devices to authenticate before they gain network access.

### Link aggregation

* A new `bondAdapter` field on the edge node schema lets you combine multiple physical network ports into a single logical interface for higher bandwidth and redundancy.
* New documentation covers the `bondAdapter` field and the link aggregation flow.

### Deployment data source

* A new `zedcloud_deployment` data source lets you reference an existing deployment in your Terraform configuration.

## Enhancements

* The Terraform provider now encodes the certificate authority (CA) certificate when creating and updating the edge node policy, so certificate data is handled correctly in those flows.
* You can now set the project attribute directly when managing supported resources.

## Bug Fixes

* Fixed a crash caused by a manifest field type mismatch in the Edge Node Cluster configuration.
* Fixed the import of the `zedcloud_deployment` resource, which now requires the project ID.
* Fixed a conflict error (HTTP 409) during edge node updates by using the most recently read revision.
* Fixed unnecessary differences shown for auto-generated SR-IOV virtual function `io_members`.
* Delete operations now treat an HTTP 404 Not Found response as a successful deletion.
* Fixed the formation of the `netid` and `netname` fields for bond member interfaces.
* Fixed an issue with the removal of VLAN and bond adapters.
