Release Notes 4.6 (June 2026)

Combined Data for Internal Data Assets

Combined Data now supports Internal Data Assets for Capsules, expanding the flexibility of data organization and reuse. Note that support for Combined Data with internal Data Assets is not yet available for Pipelines.

Improved Collection Navigation & Sharing

We've enhanced asset discovery within Collections to make sharing and navigation more intuitive.

• Collection breadcrumbs show where an asset lives within the Collection hierarchy.

• Links from Collections now allow opening an asset directly within its Collection context.

These improvements make it easier for users to locate assets, understand their organizational context, and share them with others.

Git Integration - Git Sync API & Link to Remote

We've improved support for Capsules and Pipelines linked to external Git repositories.

Git Sync API

Programmatically synchronize linked repositories by pulling remote changes and pushing local commits through a dedicated API endpoint. You can find more information including prerequisites in the Code Ocean API Guide.

Request Example

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -u ${CUSTOM_KEY}: -X POST https://${co_domain}/api/v1/capsules/${capsule_id}/sync

Response

{
  "pushed": 1,
  "pulled": 0,
  "new_branch": false
}

Easier Access to Linked Repositories

The linked Git repository is now accessible directly from the branch dropdown in the Capsule or Pipelines IDE, making it easier to find and navigate to the remote repository.

These enhancements make it easier to keep linked repositories in sync and encourage more effective Git-based collaboration workflows.

Admin - Custom Help Links

Admins can now add a custom documentation link to the Help menu in the navigation sidebar, making organization-specific resources easier for users to discover.

This makes it easier to provide users with quick access to internal documentation, onboarding materials, and organization-specific guidance directly from within Code Ocean.

Infrastructure Updates

Live Kernel Patching

All Code Ocean EC2 instance types (Services, Workers, Pipelines, and Jobs) now include automated live kernel patching. Every six hours, instances check for new kernel security patches and apply them automatically, enabling critical vulnerabilities to be remediated without downtime or impact on running workloads.

Bedrock Cost Allocation

Bedrock costs can now be attributed to individual Code Ocean deployments. Usage generated through Aqua is tagged automatically, allowing AWS Cost and Usage Reports to be filtered by deployment using AWS cost allocation tags.

This feature is not supported for deployments in eu-north-1 and us-west-1 due to an AWS Bedrock regional limitation.

Worker Startup Reliability Improvements

Improved worker startup reliability by increasing the time allowed for worker initialization and registration, helping ensure that newly launched workers complete startup successfully.

Managed Policy for Bedrock Access

Added a managed IAM policy for Amazon Bedrock access, simplifying configuration for customers who use Assumable Roles for coding agents such as Cline, enabling them to use Amazon Bedrock models within Cloud Workstations.

Code Ocean Service Reliability Improvements

Improved service startup reliability and reduced operational noise by reducing Docker pull log verbosity and improving service retry behavior.

Standardized Log Stream Prefixes

Standardized CloudWatch log stream naming across Services, Workers, Pipelines, and Jobs instances, making logs easier to identify and navigate.
