We made several platform enhancements designed to improve your experience managing machines and data with Viam. Here's what's new this month.
Data region support
We now support specifying a data region, giving you control over where your machine data is stored. Combined with our recent ISO certifications and expanded EU presence, Viam provides enterprise-grade security and compliance for global deployments. To select your organization's configured region, go to Org Settings → Data Region, and select US or EU.
Add notes to your machine config
You can now add freeform notes directly to resources in your machine’s config—including components, services, and even those defined in fragments. Leave reminders for yourself, explain the purpose of a configuration, or jot down alternative values to test later. Notes are saved with the config and visible to all machine owners, making collaboration and iteration easier.
Organize your configuration’s resources into folders
You can now group components and services into folders within your machine’s config. Use folders however makes sense for your workflow—by component type, team ownership, physical layout (like “left arm” and “right arm”), or anything else that helps you stay organized. It’s a flexible tool to make complex machines easier to navigate.
