+We are pleased to announce the release of `ACE v2025.10.17`. ACE **v2025.10.17** focuses on improving scalability and automation for production-grade deployments. In this post, we’ll highlight the changes done in this release.
+
+### Key Changes
+- **Upgrade cluster-manager-spoke feature** on spoke upgrade
+- **Add Credential-less Support** for AWS deployment.
+- Fix backup session creation command
+
+Here are the components specific changes:
+
+### KubeDB UI
+We are directly using the kubestash cli for generating the name of the kubestash-related objects to `fix backup session creation command`.
+
+
+### Platform Backend
+
+#### Fixes & Improvements
+- The cluster-manager-spoke feature will also be upgraded on the spoke clusters from now on.
+- We’ve introduced credential-less support for the Selfhost installer in production mode for AWS deployments. When the credential-less option is selected, users no longer need to provide AWS-specific credentials and can also import clusters in credential-less mode. All services within imported clusters will continue to operate seamlessly without requiring credentials.
