Released: January 31, 2019

Added the Amazon API Gateway in front of single-instance, and Author and Live environments.
Standardized data population and application configuration across all Elastic Path Commerce environments.
- Data population is now done at environment run time instead of at build time.
All CloudFormation initialization and data population logs are now forwarded to CloudWatch.
Updated the default AMIs (Amazon Machine Image) to use Amazon Linux 2.
- Note: This change breaks compatibility with AMIs based off of Amazon Linux 1 images. Updating CloudOps for AWS to 3.2 requires an update to the AMIs based on the Amazon Linux images.

Added Amazon API Gateway and Network Load Balancer in front of cortex for single-instance, and Author and Live environments.
Removed requirement for prebuilt RDS Snapshots or prepopulated MySql containers when standing up Elastic Path Commerce environments.
Added load balancers to MySql and ActiveMq in the single instance environment.
Forwarded cfn-init logs from all ec2 instances to CloudWatch.
Moved log groups for single-instance, and Author and Live environments to root CloudFormation stacks so they are easily accessible.
Improved tagging for EC2 instance.
Removed requirement on prebuilt RDS Snapshots for Author and Live environments, and pre-populated MySql docker image for single instance environment.
Upgraded to Amazon Linux 2.

Based the mysql image off of the official docker hub version.
Containerized Data Population tool so data population process could be standardized across Elastic Path Commerce environments.
Moved search host, email, and asset settings from database to environment variables so they can be set dynamically.
Added option to use docker registries other than just Amazon ECR (Elastic Container Registry).
Removed custom MySql commerce environment from Elastic Path*. Docker repository.

CLOUD-1032 - Fixed error configuring Data Sync Tool on integration server.
SUP-28 - Fixed Nexus container to restart upon termination or Nexus server restart.

Update environment scripts can cause an unintended database reset if the root Author and Live stackname is used for the APPLICATIONS_STACK_NAME.
Single instance environment sometimes fails during data population for large datasets.
