2023.4.4

Release date: December 19, 2023

What's new

This Automation Suite version brings various small bug fixes and improvements.

Bug fixes

• Erratum - added April 19, 2024: We have fixed an issue causing the Prometheus pods to fail to start due to an out-of-memory (OOM) error.

• Erratum - Added March 25, 2024: We have fixed a bug in the data migrator that was affecting the transfer of permission snapshots between two databases.

Out-of-support RHEL versions

Red Hat no longer supports RHEL 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, and 8.7. As a result, we have removed them from the list of compatible RHEL versions. We currently support RHEL 8.6 and 8.8, but we recommend using the latter.

If you move from an older Automation Suite version, make sure you use a supported RHEL version before starting the upgrade.

For more details, see the Automation Suite hardware and software requirements.

Known issues

Issues affecting Ceph metrics and alerts

Erratum - added April 19, 2024: In certain situations, Ceph metrics and alerts are missing from the monitoring dashboards. To fix the issue, see the Troubleshooting section.

Issues related to CephMgrIsAbsent alerts

Erattum - added April 19, 2024: False positive CephMgrIsAbsent alerts are displayed even though there are no storage issues.

Collation differences between SQL server and SQL database not supported

Erratum - added February 28, 2024: Stored procedures do not support collation differences between the SQL server and SQL database. To avoid any potential problems, you must ensure that the collation settings of both SQL server and SQL database are identical.

CVEs related to Flannel and Calico

To avoid CVEs related to Flannel and Calico, we recommend taking the following steps:

1. Migrate from Canal to Cilium CNI.
2. Delete the following Calico and Flannel images:
   • image: rancher/hardened-calico, tag: v3.22.2-build20220509
   • image: rancher/hardened-flannel, tag: v0.17.0-build20220317

   For details, see How to delete images from the old installer after upgrade.

Deprecation timeline

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