Database version 7.2 or later.
RHEL9 compatible binaries for any modules you need.

See Upgrade Redis Enterprise for Kubernetes for detailed steps to upgrade to 7.8.2-6.

Deprecations

Ubuntu-based images are no longer supported.
REDB field `upgradeSpec.upgradeModulesToLatest is deprecated.
REDB field spec.modulesList.version is deprecated.

Known limitations

New limitations

Only upgrades from 7.4.2-2 and later are supported. If you are using an earlier version, install 7.4.2-2 before upgrading to 7.8.2-6.
When changing the REDB field spec.modulesList version might be upgraded to latest even if a different version is specified. To prevent the upgrade to latest, set spec.upgradeSpec.setModuleToLatest to false before upgrading to 7.8.2-6.

Existing limitations

Missing endpoint for admission endpoint (rare) (RED-119469) Restart the operator pod.
The REDB “redisVersion” field can’t be used for memcached databases(RED-119152)
When modifying the database suffix for an Active-Active database, while the service-rigger is in a terminating state, the services-rigger will delete and create the ingress or route resources in a loop (RED-107687) Wait until the services rigger pod has finished to terminate it.
REAADB changes might fail with "gateway timeout" errors, mostly on OpenShift (RED-103048) Retry the operation.
Creating two databases with the same name directly on Redis Enterprise software will cause the service to be deleted and the database will not be available (RED-99997) Avoid duplicating database names. Database creation via K8s has validation in place to prevent this.
Installing the operator bundle produces warning: Warning: would violate PodSecurity "restricted: v1.24" (RED-97381) Ignore the warning. This issue is documented as benign on official Red Hat documentation.
RERC resources must have a unique name (RED-96302) The string "rec-name"/"rec-namespace" must be different from all other participating clusters in the Active-Active database.
Admission is not blocking REAADB with shardCount which exceeds license quota (RED-96301) Fix the problems with the REAADB and reapply.
Active-Active controller only supports global database options. Configuration specific to location is not supported (RED-86490)
Active-Active setup removal might keep services or routes undeleted (RED-77752) Delete services or routes manually if you encounter this problem.
autoUpgrade set to true can cause unexpected bdb upgrades when redisUpgradePolicy is set to true (RED-72351) Contact support if your deployment is impacted.
Following the previous quick start guide version causes issues with creating an REDB due to unrecognized memory field name (RED-69515) The workaround is to use the newer (current) revision of Deploy Redis Enterprise Software for Kubernetes.
PVC size issues when using decimal value in spec (RED-62132) Make sure you use integer values for the PVC size.
REC might report error states on initial startup (RED-61707) There is no workaround at this time except to ignore the errors.
Hashicorp Vault integration - no support for Gesher (RED-55080) There is no workaround for this issue. Gesher support has been deprecated.
REC clusters fail to start on Kubernetes clusters with unsynchronized clocks (RED-47254) When REC clusters are deployed on Kubernetes clusters without synchronized clocks, the REC cluster does not start correctly. The fix is to use NTP to synchronize the underlying K8s nodes.
Deleting an OpenShift project with an REC deployed may hang (RED-47192) When an REC cluster is deployed in a project (namespace) and has REDB resources, the REDB resources must be deleted first before the REC can be deleted. Therefore, until the REDB resources are deleted, the project deletion will hang. The fix is to delete the REDB resources first and the REC second. Then, you can delete the project.
Clusters must be named 'rec' in OLM-based deployments (RED-39825) In OLM-deployed operators, the deployment of the cluster will fail if the name is not "rec". When the operator is deployed via the OLM, the security context constraints (scc) are bound to a specific service account name (namely, "rec"). The workaround is to name the cluster "rec".
Readiness probe incorrect on failures (RED-39300) STS Readiness probe does not mark a node as "not ready" when running rladmin status on node failure.

Version changes

Breaking changes

The following changes included in this release affect the upgrade process. Please read carefully before upgrading.

ValidatingWebhookConfiguration

Versions 6.4.2-4 and later include a new ValidatingWebhookConfiguration resource to replace the redb-admission webhook resource. To use releases 6.4.2-4 or later, delete the old webhook resource and apply the new file. See upgrade Redis cluster for instructions.

OpenShift SCC

Versions 6.4.2-6 and later include a new SCC (redis-enterprise-scc-v2) that you need to bind to your service account before upgrading. OpenShift clusters running version 6.2.12 or earlier upgrading to version 6.2.18 or later might get stuck if you skip this step. See upgrade a Redis Enterprise cluster (REC) for instructions.

Upcoming Changes

Future Redis Enterprise images will be UBI9-based only, without support for Ubuntu-based images.

Known limitations

The limitations below are specific to the Redis Enterprise for Kubernetes product. To view limitations for the supported Redis Enterprise Software version, see the 7.2.4 release notes.

Existing limitations

When modifying the database suffix for an Active-Active database, while the service-rigger is in a terminating state, the services-rigger will delete and create the ingress or route resources in a loop (RED-107687) Wait until the services- rigger pod has finished to terminate it.
REAADB changes might fail with "gateway timeout" errors, mostly on OpenShift (RED-103048) Retry the operation.
Creating two databases with the same name directly on Redis Enterprise software will cause the service to be deleted and the database will not be available (RED-99997) Avoid duplicating database names. Database creation via K8s has validation in place to prevent this.
Installing the operator bundle produces warning: Warning: would violate PodSecurity "restricted: v1.24" (RED-97381) Ignore the warning. This issue is documented as benign on official Red Hat documentation.
RERC resources must have a unique name (RED-96302) The string "rec-name"/"rec-namespace" must be different from all other participating clusters in the Active-Active database.
Admission is not blocking REAADB with shardCount which exceeds license quota (RED-96301) Fix the problems with the REAADB and reapply.
Active-Active controller only supports global database options. Configuration specific to location is not supported (RED-86490)
Active-Active setup removal might keep services or routes undeleted (RED-77752) Delete services or routes manually if you encounter this problem.
autoUpgrade set to true can cause unexpected bdb upgrades when redisUpgradePolicy is set to true (RED-72351) Contact support if your deployment is impacted.
Following the previous quick start guide version causes issues with creating an REDB due to unrecognized memory field name (RED-69515) The workaround is to use the newer (current) revision of Deploy Redis Enterprise Software for Kubernetes.
PVC size issues when using decimal value in spec (RED-62132) Make sure you use integer values for the PVC size.
REC might report error states on initial startup (RED-61707) There is no workaround at this time except to ignore the errors.
Hashicorp Vault integration - no support for Gesher (RED-55080) There is no workaround for this issue. Gesher support has been deprecated.
REC clusters fail to start on Kubernetes clusters with unsynchronized clocks (RED-47254) When REC clusters are deployed on Kubernetes clusters without synchronized clocks, the REC cluster does not start correctly. The fix is to use NTP to synchronize the underlying K8s nodes.
Deleting an OpenShift project with an REC deployed may hang (RED-47192) When an REC cluster is deployed in a project (namespace) and has REDB resources, the REDB resources must be deleted first before the REC can be deleted. Therefore, until the REDB resources are deleted, the project deletion will hang. The fix is to delete the REDB resources first and the REC second. Then, you can delete the project.
Clusters must be named 'rec' in OLM-based deployments (RED-39825) In OLM-deployed operators, the deployment of t...

a4def4a

6.4.2-8

Overview

Redis Enterprise for Kubernetes version 6.4.2-8 is a maintenance release of version 6.2.4-6. It includes critical bug fixes and an updated Redis Enterprise image.

New in this release

Feature enhancements

New Redis Enterprise software version 6.4.2-94 (RED-105738)

Bug fixes

Fixed bad handling of certificate chains in the REC controller (RED-105578)

Upgrade considerations

Be aware the following changes included in this release affect the upgrade process. Please read carefully before upgrading to 6.4.2-8.

ValidatingWebhookConfiguration

This release uses a new ValidatingWebhookConfiguration resource to replace the redb-admission webhook resource. To use releases 6.4.2-4 or later, delete the old webhook resource and apply the new file. See upgrade Redis cluster for instructions.
OpenShift SCC

This release includes a new SCC (redis-enterprise-scc-v2) that you need to bind to your service account before upgrading. OpenShift clusters running version 6.2.12 or earlier upgrading to version 6.2.18 or later might get stuck if you skip this step. See upgrade a Redis Enterprise cluster (REC) for expand.

Compatibility

Deprecated features

Support for Gesher, the advanced admission control configuration, is deprecated.

Known limitations

This release doesn't introduce any new known limitations. See section below for existing known limitations.

Existing limitations

RERC resources must have a unique name (RED-96302) The string "rec-name"/"rec-namespace" must be different from all other participating clusters in teh Active-Active database.
Admission is not blocking REAADB with shardCount which exceeds license quota (RED-96301) Fix the problems with the REAADB and reapply.
Active-Active setup removal might keep services or routes undeleted (RED-77752) Delete services or routes manually if you encounter this problem.
autoUpgrade set to true can cause unexpected bdb upgrades when redisUpgradePolicy is set to true (RED-72351) Contact support if your deployment is impacted.
Following the previous quick start guide version causes issues with creating an REDB due to unrecognized memory field name (RED-69515) The workaround is to use the newer (current) revision of Deploy Redis Enterprise Software for Kubernetes.
PVC size issues when using decimal value in spec (RED-62132) Make sure you use integer values for the PVC size.
REC might report error states on initial startup (RED-61707) There is no workaround at this time except to ignore the errors.
Hashicorp Vault integration - no support for Gesher (RED-55080) There is no workaround for this issue. Gesher support has been deprecated.
REC clusters fail to start on Kubernetes clusters with unsynchronized clocks (RED-47254) When REC clusters are deployed on Kubernetes clusters without synchronized clocks, the REC cluster does not start correctly. The fix is to use NTP to synchronize the underlying K8s nodes.
Deleting an OpenShift project with an REC deployed may hang (RED-47192) When an REC cluster is deployed in a project (namespace) and has REDB resources, the REDB resources must be deleted first before the REC can be deleted. Therefore, until the REDB resources are deleted, the project deletion will hang. The fix is to delete the REDB resources first and the REC second. Then, you can delete the project.
Clusters must be named 'rec' in OLM-based deployments (RED-39825) In OLM-deployed operators, the deployment of the cluster will fail if the name is not "rec". When the operator is deployed via the OLM, the security context constraints (scc) are bound to a specific service account name (namely, "rec"). The workaround is to name the cluster "rec".
Readiness probe incorrect on failures (RED-39300) STS Readiness probe does not mark a node as "not ready" when running rladmin status on node failure.
Internal DNS and Kubernetes DNS may have conflicts (RED-37462) DNS conflicts are possible between the cluster mdns_server and the K8s DNS. This only impacts DNS resolution from within cluster nodes for Kubernetes DNS names.
Node CPU usage is reported instead of pod CPU usage (RED-36884) In Kubernetes, the reported node CPU usage is the usage of the Kubernetes worker node hosting the REC pod.
An unreachable cluster has status running (RED-32805) When a cluster is in unreachable state, the state remains running instead of triggering an error.
Long cluster names cause routes to be rejected (RED-25871) A cluster name longer than 20 characters will result in a rejected route configuration because the host part of the domain name exceeds 63 characters. The workaround is to limit the cluster name to 20 characters or fewer.
Cluster CR (REC) errors are not reported after invalid updates (RED-25542) A cluster CR specification error is not reported if two or more invalid CR resources are updated in sequence.

Before upgrading

Be aware the following changes included in this release affect the upgrade process. Please read carefully before upgrading to 6.4.2-6.

ValidatingWebhookConfiguration

This release uses a new ValidatingWebhookConfiguration resource to replace the redb-admission webhook resource. To use releases 6.4.2-4 or later, delete the old webhook resource and apply the new file. See upgrade Redis cluster for instructions.
OpenShift SCC

OpenShift clusters running version 6.2.12 or earlier upgrading to version 6.2.18 or later might get stuck if you skip this step. See upgrade a Redis Enterprise cluster (REC) for details.

Known limitations

New limitations

REAADB changes might fail with "gateway timeout" errors, mostly on OpenShift (RED-103048) Retry the operation.
Misleading error appears when a service creation has failed due to service already existing "provided IP is already allocated" (RED-100669) Delete the service manually.
Existing OpenShift route during REC creation might prevent REC from starting (RED-100668) Delete the route manually.
Creating two databases with the same name directly on Redis Enterprise software will cause the service to be deleted and the database will not be available (RED-99997) Avoid duplicating database names. Database creation via K8s has validation in place to prevent this.
Installing the operator bundle produces warning: Warning: would violate PodSecurity "restricted: v1.24" (RED-97381) Ignore the warning. This issue is documented as benign on official Red Hat documentation.

Existing limitations

RERC resources must have a unique name (<rec-name>/<rec-namespace>) (RED-96302)
Admission is not blocking REAADB with shardCount which exceeds license quota. (RED-96301) Fix the problems with the REAADB and reapply.
Active-Active setup removal might keep services or routes undeleted (RED-77752) Delete services or routes manually if you encounter this problem.
autoUpgrade set to true can cause unexpected bdb upgrades when redisUpgradePolicy is set to true (RED-72351) Contact support if your deployment is impacted.
Following the previous quick start guide version causes issues with creating an REDB due to unrecognized memory field name (RED-69515) The workaround is to use the newer (current) revision of the [quick start]({{<relref "/kubernetes/deployment/quick-start.md">}}).
PVC size issues when using decimal value in spec (RED-62132) Make sure you use integer values for the PVC size.
REC might report error states on initial startup (RED-61707) There is no workaround at this time except to ignore the errors.
Hashicorp Vault integration - no support for Gesher (RED-55080) There is no workaround for this issue. Gesher support has been deprecated.
REC clusters fail to start on Kubernetes clusters with unsynchronized clocks (RED-47254) When REC clusters are deployed on Kubernetes clusters with unsynchronized clocks, the REC cluster does not start correctly. The fix is to use NTP to synchronize the underlying K8s nodes.
Deleting an OpenShift project with an REC deployed may hang (RED-47192) When an REC cluster is deployed in a project (namespace) and has REDB resources, the REDB resources must be deleted first before the REC can be deleted. Therefore, until the REDB resources are deleted, the project deletion will hang. The fix is to delete the REDB resources first and the REC second. Then, you can delete the project.
