Known issues

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 Automation Suite on EKS/AKS troubleshooting.

Erratum - added August 14, 2024

For AI Center and Task Mining, the 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 2023.4.8.

Erratum - added June 25, 2024

Following an Automation Suite on AKS installation or upgrade, the backup setup does not work because of a failure to connect to Azure Government. You can fix the issue by taking the steps described in Automation Suite on EKS/AKS troubleshooting.

Erratum: Added April 19, 2024

An upgrade known issue affecting AKS causes Automation Suite to fail. When trying to upgrade AKS, the argocd-redis-ha-server pod is put in error state. If you encounter this issue, use the workaround documented in the Troubleshooting chapter. The issue no longer occurs in Automation Suite 2023.4.6.
