2022.10.13

Release date: August 14, 2024

New RHEL versions support

We have expanded our OS support to include RHEL 8.10 and 9.2, alongside existing support for 8.6, 8.8, and 8.9 versions.

Images cleanup for in-cluster Docker registry

You can now effortlessly remove obsolete images post-upgrade. This capability is specifically designed for offline setups with an in-cluster Docker registry. For more details, see Automated: Offline upgrade and Manual: Offline upgrade.

Security enhancements

We continue to provide security updates and patches to address Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs).

Bug fixes

• We have fixed an issue that prevented you from enabling SSO for ArgoCD due to a Dex image version discrepancy.

• We have fixed an issue causing installation failures in certain conditions due to telemetry check errors. Previously, in case of failure, you had to manually set the telemetry check as optional and restart the installation. Now, a telemetry check failure only displays a warning and does not disrupt the installation process. This makes telemetry checks optional by default and ensures smooth, uninterrupted installations.

Known issues

OSD PV resize does not persist after upgrade

If you resize the rook-ceph OSD PV, the new size does not persist following an Automation Suite upgrade.

Pods cannot communicate with FQDN in a proxy environment

Erratum - added October 17, 2024: In a proxy environment, if the proxy server uses the same port as the TCP port of any other service in the Istio service mesh, such as port 8080, pods cannot communicate with the FQDN. The issue causes the following error:

System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: The proxy tunnel request to proxy 'http://<proxyFQDN>:8080/' failed with status code '404'.

To fix the issue, see the Troubleshooting section.

Weak ciphers in TLS 1.2

Erratum - added August 29, 2024: We have identified certain vulnerabilities associated with the usage of weak ciphers in TLS 1.2. For details on how to mitigate the issue, see How to address weak ciphers in TLS 1.2.

Redis failures due to inconsistent password updates

Erratum - added October 17, 2024: An issue is causing Redis recovery job failures when you update the ArgoCD admin password directly through the UI without simultaneously updating the Kubernetes secrets as well. To prevent the issue, we highly recommend that each time you change the ArgoCD admin password via the UI, ensure that you update the Kubernetes secrets at the same time. For more details on how to properly update the ArgoCD admin password, refer to Troubleshooting.

Intermittent not ready reports from agent machines

Erratum - added October 17, 2024: An issue causes agent machines to intermittently report as not ready when the rke2-server service is shut down without executing the rke2-killall.sh script. We fixed this issue in Automation Suite 2022.10.14.

Deprecation timeline

We recommend that you regularly check the deprecation timeline for any updates regarding features that will be deprecated and removed.
