Beta VPC Identity API change log
Read the API change log to learn about updates and improvements to the Beta IBM Cloud® Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Identity API. The change log lists changes that are ordered by the date they were released.
Some beta features are for accounts that have been granted special approval to preview a particular beta feature. Contact your IBM sales representative if you are interested in getting access.
There are no backward-compatibility guarantees as a feature progresses through its beta phase or from the final beta release to its initial GA release. Using non-GA-mature features could introduce the risk of corrupting resources in your account. IBM strongly recommends that you do not use non-GA-mature features on production accounts.

For all version dates
Bare metal server support. Accounts that have been granted special approval to preview this feature can now access the identity service from bare metal servers. You can use the new create identity access token method to create an access token for your bare metal server, and pass that token to the new create identity certificate method. Alternatively, you can pass that token to the create IAM access token method, and then use that token to access IAM-enabled services. You can also use these new methods from virtual server instances. For more information, see the Beta VPC Identity API.
For version 2025-07-15 or later
Instance identity methods. When using a version query parameter of 2025-07-15 or later, the /instance_identity methods have been removed, and requests will fail with an HTTP response
of 404. Clients will need to migrate to the new /identity methods. For more information, see the 2025-07-15 API version migration guide.
The behavior remains unchanged when using a version query parameter of 2025-07-14 or earlier.
