- Automation Suite on Linux Release Notes
- Automation Suite on EKS/AKS Release Notes
2023.10.4
Release date: June 27, 2024
We have introduced more prerequisite checks to optimize the overall experience of installing and configuring Automation Suite and to catch missing requirements earlier. Here are some highlights:
-
Automation Suite now checks if the external objectstore supports POST requests to buckets via pre-signed URLs. Document Understanding requires POST request support to download files from the buckets.
-
We have introduced new prerequisite checks in the
mirror-registry.shandhydrate-registry.shscripts. These checks validate that you have enough free disk space for Docker (under/var/lib/docker) and Podman (under/var/lib/containers) before mirroring or hydrating the registry. Additionally, you are prompted with a message to either continue or abort if you do not have sufficient resources.
4.0.2.
We have improved the Automation Suite support bundle tool capabilities. Now, the tool extracts all the config maps data from your cluster. The new capability allows you to use more valuable data sets for troubleshooting purposes.
We are happy to announce that Automation Suite now supports Harbor and other external registries that require you to create a project before pushing or pulling images from the registry.
We're happy to announce various fixes and improvements that ensure an even more accurate estimate of the hardware requirements for any Automation Suite deployment. The tool now takes into account the additional data disk required by AI Center and Document Understanding. Also, it now takes a single click to share the UiPath Automation Suite Install Sizing Calculator URL along with your currently selected configuration.
If you want to take the UiPath Automation Suite Install Sizing Calculator for a spin, see Capacity planning.
We have made several accessibility improvements as part of our commitment to develop inclusive technology for our users.

When generating the support bundle, an incorrect FQDN was used for AKS on Azure Government. We have fixed the issue.
system-upgrade namespace. If the upgrade command fails at any stage (infra, fabric, or service upgrade), take the following steps before
retrying the upgrade:
-
List the existing jobs in the
system-upgradenamespace:kubectl get jobs -n system-upgradekubectl get jobs -n system-upgrade -
Delete the failed jobs:
kubectl -n system-upgrade delete jobs <failed_jobs>kubectl -n system-upgrade delete jobs <failed_jobs>When running the command, replace the<failed_jobs>placeholder with the names of the failed jobs, separated by spaces.
We fixed the issue in Automation Suite 2023.10.5.
Erratum - added August 8, 2024: The bug fix related to document validation tasks in Action Center from Automation Suite 2023.10.3+patch1 was not included in the Automation Suite 2023.10.4 release. We recommend that you wait for Automation Suite 2023.10.5 to get this fix.
Erratum - added August 14, 2024: An issue affects the support bundle generation when using an external OCI registry in an offline environment. Under these conditions, the generated support bundle lacks historical logs and cannot upload to any selected external object storage. To fix this issue, see the Troubleshooting section.
Erratum - added August 14, 2024: Upgrading from Automation Suite 2023.10.x fails due to the Longhorn storage classes still being present. To solve the problem, you must clean up the Longhorn storage classes manually, by running the following command:
for sc in $(kubectl get sc -o json | jq -r '.items[] | select(.provisioner=="driver.longhorn.io") | .metadata.name'); do
kubectl delete sc "${sc}"
done for sc in $(kubectl get sc -o json | jq -r '.items[] | select(.provisioner=="driver.longhorn.io") | .metadata.name'); do
kubectl delete sc "${sc}"
doneWe fixed the issue in Automation Suite 2023.10.5.
ListBucket API prerequisite check fails when using an external objectstore. However, AI Center and Task Mining do not use the ListBucket API permission. We removed the unnecessary check in Automation Suite 2023.10.5.
Erratum - added August 14, 2024: You cannot enable SSO for ArgoCD due to an issue with the Dex image versions. We fixed the issue in Automation Suite 2023.10.5.
snapshot-controller-crds pod to remain in the CrashLoopBackOff state after upgrade. This occurs due to a conflict between the newly installed snapshot-controller and the existing one during the RKE2 upgrade. To fix the issue, see the Troubleshooting section.
Erratum - added August 14, 2024: In certain conditions, the Automation Suite installation process can fail due to telemetry check errors. To fix this issue, you have to manually set the telemetry check as optional and restart the installation. Starting with Automation Suite 2023.10.5, telemetry check errors no longer disrupt the installation process.
We recommend that you regularly check the deprecation timeline for any updates regarding features that will be deprecated and removed.
