So a couple other things.

10.3, we have always had a really robust S3 protocol implementation.

And one of the newer features of the S3 protocol is something called object versioning.

And we've added support for object versioning in 10.3 as well.

And you can think of that as almost like snapshots at an object level.

So like previous versions are kept, right?

And we've done some more things with that in 10.4.

to basically automate some of the things we expect people would want to do, like create almost like a recycle bin capability that you can use at a bucket level for object versions.

What else?

We removed a requirement that you have to have SLEZ as an operating system for us to install on.

So in 10.3, we basically had the ability with our distribution for Debian to ship the whole product without having to have someone download another OS.

And I'll give you something that kind of foreshadows what we did in 10.4.

In 10.3, when you deploy us in a software-defined mode, which if people don't recall, Storage Grid is a software-defined object store.

It can be deployed a lot of different ways.

You can deploy it in VMware.

You can deploy it in OpenStack.

You can deploy it as purpose-built appliances.

If you deploy us in 10.3 in VMware, we actually are Docker containers in a Debian guest, right?

Yeah, so that kind of foreshadows what was the next step in 10.4, right?

Yeah.
