Mandatory Security and Reliability Update
This release is to comply with a mandatory security and reliability update of the backend services that the IBM Cloud Developer Tools CLI uses for creating and managing applications. You will need to update to version 1.3.3 by May 16, 2018 in order to continue to access services on the IBM Cloud. To update, execute:
bx plugin update dev
After May 16, using a previous version of IDT will result in a failure like this for bx dev create
:
FAILED
Could not create application on IBM Cloud.
If you execute the command with tracing as follows bx dev create --trace
you will see:
PMan Create Application POST failed.

Lead Developer, IBM Cloud Developer Tools CLI
What’s Included in the IBM Cloud Developer Tools Version 2.2.0
I’m pleased to announce the latest version of IBM Cloud Developer Tools CLI, which contains some exciting new features.
Permanent Redirect to cloud.ibm.com from console.bluemix.net
Starting on April 27, 2019, we will be turning on permanent redirects from bluemix.net to cloud.ibm.com. All of the same functionality that existed on bluemix.net is still available in cloud.ibm.com.
Introducing MFA for IBM Cloud Users with Federated ID
We are excited to deliver a highly requested feature to our IBM Cloud account owners that supports multifactor authentication (MFA) for federated IDs.
