Automation Suite release notes
Release date: June 27, 2024
We have introduced a new prerequisite check to optimize the experience of installing and configuring Automation Suite. 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.
4.0.2.
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. In particular, you get more useful requirements for the multi-node profile and the multi-zonal setup. 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.

Erratum - added August, 2024: We have fixed an issue causing the
snapshot-controller-crdspod to remain in the CrashLoopBackOff state after an RKE2 upgrade. This issue occurred due to a conflict between the newly installedsnapshot-controllerand the existing one during the RKE2 upgrade. -
When generating the support bundle, an incorrect FQDN was used for AKS on Azure Government. We have fixed the issue.
Node maintenance issue in non-HA Redis
redis-cluster-0 pod to get stuck in the terminating state when you perform a node drain in non-HA Redis scenarios. To address the problem,
you must force delete the pod using the following command:
kubectl -n redis-system delete pod redis-cluster-0 --forcekubectl -n redis-system delete pod redis-cluster-0 --forceWe fixed the issue in Automation Suite 2023.4.10.
Insights annotation issue blocks installer
Erratum - added December 18, 2024: An Insights annotation issue blocks the Automation Suite installer. We fixed the issue in Automation Suite 2023.4.10.
RKE2 log collector runs indefinitely
Erratum - added December 18, 2024: The RKE2 log collector runs indefinitely for some system commands. We fixed the issue in Automation Suite 2023.4.10.
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.Pods cannot communicate with FQDN in a proxy environment
System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: The proxy tunnel request to proxy 'http://<proxyFQDN>:8080/' failed with status code '404'.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.
Intermittent not ready reports from agent machines
rke2-server service is shut down without executing the rke2-killall.sh script. We fixed this issue in Automation Suite 2023.4.9.
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.Support bundle log collection failure
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.
Unnecessary ListBucket API prerequisite check fails for external objectstore
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.
Cannot enable SSO for ArgoCD
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 2023.4.8.

We have fixed this issue in Automation Suite 2023.4.10.
Kube-proxy health check not working
node-monitor component, which monitors the node for issues such as checking kube-proxy health or if ip_forward is enabled, and cordons the node if issues arise, is not working for specific nodes such as GPU, task-mining, or as-robot. We have fixed this issue in Automation Suite 2023.4.12.
ML skill deployment failure due to token expiry
containerd issue, the deployment of ML skills fails as a token expires before larger image downloads can be completed, especially under
conditions of slower network connectivity.
