<Update label="November 4, 2026" description="Network Load Balancer" tags={["Connect"]}>
## Network load balancers in the cloud portal

Put a public address in front of TCP and UDP services on your VPC networks, and manage it from the [cloud portal](https://cloud.datum.net).

- **Create and manage:** a new Network Load Balancers page lists your load balancers. Each one shows its hostname with a copy button, its address, network, locations, and status.
- **Listeners:** add, edit, and delete listeners. Change a listener's protocol and port in place without losing its address, or point it at another backend.
- **UDP:** UDP listeners and UDP port ranges are supported, and listeners can share one address.
- **Faster setup:** a load balancer gets its address as soon as its route, backend, and network are ready.
- **Access:** Network Admin has full access to load balancers and their routes. Network Viewer has read access.
</Update>

<Update label="November 4, 2026" description="Billing" tags={["Billing"]}>
## Billing for organization owners

Billing in the cloud portal is now available to every organization owner.

- **Owners only:** the Billing pages, the project **Billing** tab, and the header's **Billing Accounts** item show only to organization owners.
- **Discounts:** a read-only **Discounts** section on the billing account page shows any discount that applies to your account. Discounts are applied to invoices automatically.
- **One invoice email:** billing settings now take a single **Invoice email**. Invoices go to that address, or to the billing contact when it's empty.
- **Payment terms:** organizations that can't pay by card can apply for payment terms. Datum reviews each application, and billing settings show the terms in effect or an application under review.

To see what your organization uses, see [Usage](/organizations/usage).
</Update>

<Update label="November 4, 2026" description="VPC" tags={["Connect"]}>
## Clearer VPC and Private DNS pages

- **Private DNS zones:** the DNS list shows **Private** for a VPC's Private DNS zone instead of a lookup that never finished. The zone description names its VPC, for example "Private DNS for the my-network VPC", and the zone page hides the **Nameservers** tab. See [Private DNS](/domain-dns/private-dns).

changelog.mdx#L37 

Did you really mean 'VPC's'?
- **Read-only access:** users with read access can now open the VPC pages. Create, edit, **Enable IPv6**, and delete controls are hidden for users who lack those permissions.
- **UDP ports:** the create-service dialog has a TCP or UDP protocol select per port, and the same port number can be used for both protocols. The services table shows each port's protocol. See [Network services](/galactic-vpc/networks/network-services).
- **Internet access setting:** a network can now turn internet access on or off for every Instance on it, including running Instances. See [Traffic](/galactic-vpc/networks/traffic).
</Update>

<Update label="November 4, 2026" description="Cloud portal" tags={["Cloud portal"]}>
## Bug fixes

- **ALB:** a custom hostname whose DNS is hosted outside Datum now shows **DNS Ready** once its CNAME points at the load balancer, or **Awaiting DNS** until then, instead of a spinner that never stopped. See [Custom domains](/alb/operations/custom-domains).
- **ALB:** a wildcard hostname the project isn't entitled to no longer shows as pending forever. It now reports that the listener isn't valid. See [Wildcard hostnames](/alb/configuration/wildcard-hostnames).
- **ALB:** pointing an HTTP proxy at a UDP port now explains that the backend must serve HTTP over TCP, instead of reporting a missing port.
- **Organizations:** a deleted organization no longer appears in the organizations list after you delete it.
- **Notifications:** unsubscribing from a mailing list and then subscribing again now saves correctly.
- **Profile:** first and last name fields no longer accept an email address.
