   - **Node Level** - a minimum of 3 nodes deployed in a single availability zone with a [replication factor](../../../architecture/docdb-replication/replication/) (RF) of 3. YugabyteDB can continue to do reads and writes even in case of a node failure, but this configuration is not resilient to cloud availability zone outages. For horizontal scaling, you can scale nodes in increments of 1.
   - **Availability Zone Level** - a minimum of 3 nodes spread across multiple availability zones with a RF of 3. YugabyteDB can continue to do reads and writes even in case of a cloud availability zone failure. This configuration provides the maximum protection for a data center failure. Recommended for production deployments. For horizontal scaling, nodes are scaled in increments of 3.

 ## Releases
 
+### December 16, 2021
+
+#### New features
+
+- Self service Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networking. Use VPC networks to lower network latencies and make your application and database infrastructure more secure. Create VPCs in AWS or GCP and peer them with application VPCs in the same cloud provider. VPC networking is managed on the **VPC Network** tab of the **Network Access** page.
+- Ability to enable pre-bundled extensions using the `CREATE EXTENSION` command. YugabyteDB includes [pre-bundled PostgreSQL extensions](../../explore/ysql-language-features/extensions/) that are tested to work with YSQL. Admin users now have additional permissions to allow them to enable these extensions in databases. (If you need to install a database extension that is not pre-bundled, contact [Yugabyte Support](https://support.yugabyte.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360003113431).)

 - **Tables** - In some instances in free clusters, the **Tables** tab will show all tables with a size of 0B.
 - **Clusters** - No support for scaling vCPUs on single node clusters.
 - **Metrics** - The **View Full Screen** option in charts on the cluster **Overview** and **Performance Metrics** pages does not work in some versions of Safari 14.0 (Big Sur).
-- **PostgreSQL Extensions** - For security reasons, the admin account used for the YugabyteDB database is not the super user. As a result, the admin account cannot install extensions, or enable extensions using the `CREATE EXTENSION` command. Support for installing and enabling extensions is planned. In the meantime, if you need database extensions added to a cluster, contact [Yugabyte Support](https://support.yugabyte.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360003113431) with the names of the cluster and extension, or reach out on Slack.

 ### Known issues in cloud shell
 
 - At this time, we recommend running only a single cloud shell session. Running more than one session may produce unexpected results.
 - If the cloud shell stops responding, close the browser tab and restart the cloud shell.
-- Cloud shell is unavailable for clusters with VPC peering
+- Cloud shell is unavailable for clusters in a VPC.
 - Cloud shell is unavailable during any edit and backup/restore operations. Wait until the operations are complete before you launch the shell.
 - No support for keyboard shortcuts on Windows. Use the shortcut menu.
 - No support for keyboard shortcuts in Firefox. Use the shortcut menu.
