To me lifetime makes sense for
Lifetime per Version for homelap or private use (No billing system integration)
Example V2 Lifetime costs $75
But when V3 releases they would need a new license for another $75 or allow them to just continue using V2 at their own risk.

If you see around, lifetime license never works for developer. You can ask for discounts or extendend trials as I think it should not be a problem to give such perks to fellow community members.

Hypervisor Control Panel – Beta Release v1.0.5

We are excited to announce the beta release of Version v1.0.5 for the Hypervisor Control Panel!

This is our most significant update yet, introducing enterprise-grade features that transform how you manage virtualized infrastructure. With Ceph RBD distributed storage, automated High Availability, and intelligent failover, v1.0.5 brings reliability and flexibility to your cloud platform.

---

  10x faster HA checks with concurrent hypervisor polling.

Migrations

We're excited to announce Live Migration support in the Hypervisor Control Panel! This game-changing feature allows you to move running virtual machines between hypervisors with less than 1 second of downtime, eliminating service interruptions during maintenance, load balancing, or
infrastructure optimization.

We're excited to announce Version v2.1.0 of the Hypervisor Control Panel! This release introduces managed load balancers, user automation scripts, project-based resource organization, a redesigned instance management page, and a host of improvements and bug fixes across the platform.

• [Feature] Load Balancers - Deploy fully managed HAProxy load balancers with port-based configuration blocks, SSL termination, health checks, session stickiness, connection draining, and backend node management. Supports both VPC and public deployment modes.
• [Feature] VPC-Optional Load Balancers - Load balancers can now be deployed without a VPC. Choose between VPC mode (private network balancing) or Public mode (direct public IP) during deployment.
• [Feature] LB Plans - Fine-grained resource control for load balancer instances with 21+ configurable fields including CPU topology, storage type, I/O limits, NIC type, and bandwidth settings.
• [Feature] User Scripts - Create reusable Bash, Python, or PowerShell scripts that execute automatically during instance deployment via cloud-init. Script content is encrypted at rest.
• [Feature] Projects - Organize your infrastructure by grouping instances, VPCs, load balancers, S3 buckets, SSH keys, and user scripts into logical projects with resource counts and filtering.

• [Feature] Instance Manage Redesign - Completely rebuilt instance management page with sidebar navigation, sticky header with power controls, and dedicated tabs for overview, graphs, storage, firewall, backups, network, settings, and destruction.
  

• [Feature] WHMCS Self-Provisioning Module - New billing module for WHMCS integration with self-provisioning resource packs and billing API endpoints.

• [Feature] Migration Abort Support - Cancel in-progress cold migrations via a cancel signal file. Stop/cancel buttons available in the migration UI for both live and cold migrations.
• [Feature] S3 Bucket Billing - Hourly billing for S3 object storage buckets with usage reports, credit charging, and auto-suspend/resume integration with Cloud Service billing.
• [Feature] S3 Plans CRUD - Dedicated admin interface for creating and managing S3 storage plans with credit-based pricing.
• [Feature] NAT Gateway Bandwidth Billing - Per-GB bandwidth billing for NAT gateways with configurable accounting direction (uploads/downloads/both) and overage handling (charge or revoke access).
• [Feature] LB SSH Key Generation - Automatic SSH keypair generation on the slave for load balancer instances, with public key reported back to the master for secure configuration sync.
• [Feature] HA for Load Balancers - High Availability monitoring and evacuation now supports load balancer instances. HA heartbeat column added to admin LB index, HA badge displayed on admin LB detail page.
• [Feature] User API Controllers - New REST API endpoints for load balancers, projects, VPCs, VPC NAT gateways, and VPC subnets with full Scribe documentation.
• [Feature] Per-User VPC Limits - Administrators can set maximum VPC count per user from the admin user edit page.
• [Feature] Per-User S3 Bucket Limits - Configurable maximum S3 buckets per user (default 5) enforced during bucket creation.
• [Feature] VPC Delete (User Side) - Users can now delete their own VPCs directly from the user panel.
• [Improvement] Instance Manage Page - Sidebar navigation with responsive mobile support, collapsible task panel, type-to-confirm destruction, settings tab consolidating boot/media/VNC/password, and per-interface network metrics with color coding.
• [Improvement] HA Monitor IPMI - Added power status query after IPMI power-off command to verify fencing success.
• [Improvement] Dashboard Enhancements - Modernized user dashboard with horizontal stat strip, consolidated quick stats, VPC statistics, and improved billing card.
• [Improvement] CPU Topology Models - All CPU models now available in the instance manage topology tab.

Hypervisor v2.2.3 has officially launched!

We've added Managed Kubernetes as a first-class resource type, so you can spin up production clusters straight from the control panel - no slave-host SSH required.

Kubernetes highlights:

• Single-node or 3-node HA control plane with bundled API load balancer
• Auto SSL via Let's Encrypt (or bring-your-own certs) for the cluster API endpoint, managed from a per-port SSL tab on the bundled LB
• Worker node pools with labels, taints, and autoscaling bounds
• Cluster autoscaler that scales on real pod pressure, per-pool aware
• In-cluster cloud controller manager - Services of type LoadBalancer provision a real platform LB with annotation-driven SNI, routing, and traffic split
• Rolling upgrades for both workers and control plane, etcd-quorum-safe
• Three auto-managed cluster security groups (LB, control plane, workers) with sane defaults
• Restricted kubeconfig that hides control-plane VMs from end users
• Kubernetes team-member permissions with view, manage, and delete tiers
• Step-based create wizard with pre-flight quota and capacity guards
• Retry-on-fail for cluster create - preserves name, slug, and CA so downloaded kubeconfigs stay valid
• Real-time WebSocket progress streaming for every bootstrap phase, upgrade wave, and node join
• AWS-style node drill-down drawer with capacity gauges, pod listing, and taints
• Cluster-managed badge and read-only banner on worker VMs and the CP load balancer
• Idempotency keys and per-operation rate limits on every Kubernetes write endpoint

Platform-wide highlights:

• Redesigned master backup pipeline with pluggable drivers (S3, Rsync, NFS, Local) and Grandfather-Father-Son retention
• Singleton backup lock that survives long uploads, plus collapsed email notifications
• Scheduled task health tracking with last-run, duration, exit code, and consecutive-failure counters
• System Health dashboard widget covering backups, cron, queues, and long-running tasks
• App-wide timezone setting honoured by Carbon, scheduler, and PHP dates
• Live AJAX filtering on the user-side Load Balancers index
• User-Scripts moved into the Compute sidebar group alongside Instances and Images
• Roughly 70% reduction in peak database and slave-RPC load during the 30-second cron window
