Automation Suite release notes
Release date: December 19, 2023
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.
Erattum - 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.
OSD PV resize does not persist after upgrade
rook-ceph OSD PV, the new size does not persist following an Automation Suite upgrade.
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.
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.Issues related to publishing packages from Studio

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:
- Migrate from Canal to Cilium CNI.
- 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.
We recommend that you regularly check the deprecation timeline for any updates regarding features that will be deprecated and removed.
