  • Improved log collector display and error handling

Bug fixes

API changes

The following fields were changed in the Redis Enterprise cluster (REC) API:

  • Added .spec.ldap for configuring cluster-level LDAP settings

  • Added .spec.certificates.ldapClientCertificateSecretName for configuring LDAP client certificate

  • Added .status.managedAPIs to track APIs managed by the operator

  • The app.redislabs.com/v1alpha1 API version of the RedisEnterpriseCluster (REC) custom resource is deprecated and will be removed in a subsequent release. Customers should switch to use the app.redislabs.com/v1 API version instead.

Supported distributions

The following table shows supported distributions at the time of this release. You can also find this list in Supported Kubernetes distributions.

* Support added in this release

Active-Active preview known limitations

  • No support for Hashicorp Vault for storing secrets (RED-95805)

  • No module support (RED-95153)

  • No support for client certificates in secrets (RED-95724)

  • No support for backup configuration (RED-95724)

  • No support for upgrading the database Redis version

  • REAADB secret status isn't updated in source cluster (RED-96296)

    The workaround is to view the secret status in one of the remote clusters.

  • Invalid REAADB is not rejected by admission might get deleted after apply. (RED-96300)

    Fix the problems with the REAADB and reapply. Contact support if you aren't sure why the REAADB is invalid.

  • Admission is not blocking REAADB with shardCount which exceeds license quota. (RED-96301)

    Fix the problems with the REAADB and reapply.

  • RERC resources must have a unique name (<rec-name>/<rec-namespace>). (RED-96302)

  • Only global database options are supported, not support for specifying configuration per location.

  • Can't automatically update the cluster secret via the operator (can be updated manually).

  • No support for migration from old (manual) Active-Active database method to new Active-Active controller.

Known limitations

  • 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.

  • An unreachable cluster has status running (RED-32805)

    When a cluster is in unreachable state, the state remains running instead of triggering an error.

  • 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.

  • 5.4.10 negatively impacts 5.4.6 (RED-37233)

    Kubernetes-based 5.4.10 deployments seem to negatively impact existing 5.4.6 deployments that share a Kubernetes cluster.

  • 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.

  • 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".

  • 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.

  • Hashicorp Vault integration - no support for Gesher (RED-55080)

    There is no workaround at this time.

  • REC might report error states on initial startup (RED-61707)

    There is no workaround at this time except to ignore the errors.

  • PVC size issues when using decimal value in spec (RED-62132)

    The workaround for this issue is to make sure you use integer values for the PVC size.

  • 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.

  • autoUpgrade set to true can cause unexpected bdb upgrades when redisUpgradePolicy is set to true (RED-72351)

    Contact support if your deployment is impacted.

Overview

The Redis Enterprise K8s 6.2.12-1 supports the Redis Enterprise Software release 6.2.12 and includes feature improvements and bug fixes.
The key bug fixes and known limitations are described below.

Images

This release includes the following container images:

  • Redis Enterprise: redislabs/redis:6.2.12-82 or redislabs/redis:6.2.12-82.rhel8-openshift
  • Operator: redislabs/operator:6.2.12-1
  • Services Rigger: redislabs/k8s-controller:6.2.12-1 or redislabs/services-manager:6.2.12-1 (on the Red Hat registry)

Feature improvements

  • Redis Enterprise Software 6.2.12 support (RED-83829)
  • Added support for annotations on services created by Redis Enterprise (RED-56245)
  • Support for additional builds of the same Redis Software version with the same operator version. The list of supported builds will be published. (RED-78757)

Bug fixes

  • Fixed Golang related vulnerabilities (RED-79205)
  • Log collector creating larger packages (RED-79650)
  • Log collector crashes when Redis Enterprise cluster is not running (RED-79996)
  • Redis Enterprise Software pods termination process could lead, in some circumstances, to pod shutdown without proper failover of its master shards. This has been fixed so that the failover attempts are retried indefinitely within the grace period, which by default is 1 year. The grace period is controllable via the redisEnterpriseTerminationGracePeriodSeconds parameter in the REC (but note that shutting down a pod without the proper failovers may lead to data loss).(RED-75388)

API changes

The Redis Enterprise cluster podSecurityPolicy is deprecated. This is still supported but will be removed when all K8s versions supporting the feature are removed.

  • 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.

  • Role missing on replica sets (RED-39002)
    The redis-enterprise-operator role is missing permission on replica sets.

  • Private registries are not supported on OpenShift 3.11 (RED-38579)
    OpenShift 3.11 does not support DockerHub private registries. This is a known OpenShift issue.

  • 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.

  • REC extraLabels are not applied to PVCs on K8s versions 1.15 or older (RED-51921)
    In K8s 1.15 or older, the PVC labels come from the match selectors and not the PVC templates. As such, these versions cannot support PVC labels. If this feature is required, the only fix is to upgrade the K8s cluster to a newer version.

  • Hashicorp Vault integration - no support for Gesher (RED-55080)
    There is no workaround at this time.

  • REC might report error states on initial startup (RED-61707)
    There is no workaround at this time except to ignore the errors.

  • autoUpgrade set to true by operator might cause unexpected bdb upgrades when redisUpgradePolicy is set to true (RED-72351)
    Contact support if your deployment is impacted.

  • Procedure to update credentials might be problematic on OpenShift when accessing the cluster externally using routes (RS issue)(RED-73251)(RED-75329)
    To workaround this, access the API from within the K8s cluster.

  • On Windows, log_collector doesn't recognize the namespace given with the -n flag (RED-83532)
    To workaround this, use a different operating system.

  • Active-Active database creation will fail if the ingress class annotation is not exactly "nginx" when using Nginx ingress controller (RED-83070)

  • Failures during the node shutdown/drain process were not preventing node shutdown. Fixed the process to do retries. The duration of the retries is controllable via the "redisEnterpriseTerminationGracePeriodSeconds" parameter within REC. (RED-75388)

  • Kubernetes 1.20
  • Rancher 2.6 for K8s 1.19-1.20
  • TKGI 1.10-11

  • AKS 1.20-1.21 (previously deprecated)
  • EKS 1.18-1.19 (previously deprecated)
  • GKE 1.19 (previously deprecated)

Known limitations

  • 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 will exceed 63 characters. The workaround is to limit cluster name to 20 characters or less.

  • 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.

  • An unreachable cluster has status running (RED-32805)

    When a cluster is in an unreachable state, the state is still running instead of being reported as an error.

  • 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.

  • Role missing on replica sets (RED-39002)

    The redis-enterprise-operator role is missing permission on replica sets.

  • 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.

  • 5.4.10 negatively impacts 5.4.6 (RED-37233)

    Kubernetes-based 5.4.10 deployments seem to negatively impact existing 5.4.6 deployments that share a Kubernetes cluster.

  • Node CPU usage is reported instead of pod CPU usage (RED-36884)

    In Kubernetes, the node CPU usage we report on is the usage of the Kubernetes worker node hosting the REC pod.

  • 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 (i.e., "rec"). The workaround is to name the cluster "rec".

  • 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 a 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. As such, until the REDB resources are deleted, the project deletion will hang. The fix is to delete the REDB resources first and the REC second. Afterwards, you may delete the project.

  • REC extraLabels are not applied to PVCs on K8s versions 1.15 or older (RED-51921)

    In K8s 1.15 or older, the PVC labels come from the match selectors and not the PVC templates. As such, these versions cannot support PVC labels. If this feature is required, the only fix is to upgrade the K8s cluster to a newer version.

  • Hashicorp Vault integration - no support for Gesher (RED-55080)

    There is no workaround at this time.

  • REC might report error states on initial startup (RED-61707)

    There is no workaround at this time except to ignore the errors.

  • PVC size issues when using decimal value in spec (RED-62132)

    The workaround for this issue is to make sure you use integer values for the PVC size.

  • Following old revision of quick start guide causes issues creating an REDB due to unrecognized memory field name (RED-69515)

The workaround is to use the newer (current) revision of the quick start document available online.

  • autoUpgrade set to true by operator might cause unexpected bdb upgrades when redisUpgradePolicy is set to true (RED-72351)

    Contact support if your deployment is impacted.

  • Procedure to update credentials might be problematic on OpenShift when accessing the cluster externally using routes (RS issue)(RED-73251)(RED-75329)
    To workaround this, access the API from within the K8s cluster.

Overview

The Redis Enterprise K8s 6.2.10-34 supports the Redis Enterprise Software release 6.2.10 and includes feature improvements and bug fixes.

The key new features, bug fixes, and known limitations are described below.

Warning!
Do not upgrade to this 6.2.10-34 release if you are an OpenShift customer and also use modules.

There was a change in 6.2.10-34 to a new RHEL 8 base image for the Redis Server image. Due to binary differences in modules between the two operating systems, you cannot directly update RHEL 7 clusters to RHEL 8 when those clusters host databases using modules.

This message will be updated as remediation plans and new steps are available to address this situation. Please contact support if you have further questions.

Overview

The Redis Enterprise K8s 6.2.8-11 release provides support for the Redis Enterprise Software release 6.2.8 and includes several enhancements and bug fixes.

The key new features, bug fixes, and known limitations are described below.

Images

This release includes the following container images:

  • Redis Enterprise: redislabs/redis:6.2.8-53 or redislabs/redis:6.2.8-53.rhel7-openshift
  • Operator: redislabs/operator:6.2.8-11
  • Services Rigger: redislabs/k8s-controller:6.2.8-11 or redislabs/services-manager:6.2.8-11 (on the Red Hat registry)

Feature improvements

  • Istio gateway/virtual services are supported as ingress controllers. Note that for Active-Active databases, the Redis operator doesn't create ingress rules, and those should be manually configured. The version of Istio that was tested is Istio 1.12.0 (RED-64020)
  • Support for K8s 1.22 (AKS, kOps, GKE) and OpenShift 4.9 (RED-64016)
  • Support for pod termination grace period customization in the REC (advanced use case) (RED-67217)
  • Improved security granularity of SCC configuration steps in documentation (RED-67321)
  • Changed behavior when two databases with the same name are created on the cluster. The operator avoids creating a service for them to prevent possible corruption (RED-64535)
  • Improved documentation about changing cluster credentials when using Hashicorp Vault (RED-65304)

Fixed bugs

  • Upgraded Go dependencies marked as vulnerable (RED-63858, RED-68651)
  • Avoided flooding operator logs with deprecation notices on K8s 1.21 (RED-67544)
  • Fixed log collector utility issues running on Microsoft Windows (RED-67682)
  • Fixed excessive updates to the RS cluster when using Windows line endings for TLS certificates (RED-67874)

Known limitations

Upgrading with the bundle using kubectl apply -f fails (RED-69515)

Upgrading with the bundle using kubectl apply -f fails, giving the following error:

The CustomResourceDefinition "redisenterpriseclusters.app.redislabs.com" is invalid: spec.preserveUnknownFields: Invalid value: true: must be false in order to use defaults in the schema

Workaround: Before the upgrade, set the 'spec.preserveUnknownFields` value to false on the REC custom resource. You can use the following command:

kubectl patch crd redisenterpriseclusters.app.redislabs.com -p $'spec:\n preserveUnknownFields: false'

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 will exceed 63 characters. The workaround is to limit cluster name to 20 characters or less.

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.

An unreachable cluster has status running (RED-32805)

When a cluster is in an unreachable state, the state is still running instead of being reported as an error.

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.

Role missing on replica sets (RED-39002)

The redis-enterprise-operator role is missing permission on replica sets.

Private registries are not supported on OpenShift 3.11 (RED-38579)

OpenShift 3.11 does not support DockerHub private registries. This is a known OpenShift issue.

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.

5.4.10 negatively impacts 5.4.6 (RED-37233)

Kubernetes-based 5.4.10 deployments seem to negatively impact existing 5.4.6 deployments that share a Kubernetes cluster.

Node CPU usage is reported instead of pod CPU usage (RED-36884)

In Kubernetes, the node CPU usage we report on is the usage of the Kubernetes worker node hosting the REC pod.

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 (i.e., "rec"). The workaround is to name the cluster "rec".

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 a 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. As such, until the
REDB resources are deleted, the project deletion will hang. The fix is to delete the
REDB resources first and the REC second. Afterwards, you may delete the project.

REC extraLabels are not applied to PVCs on K8s versions 1.15 or older (RED-51921)

In K8s 1.15 or older, the PVC labels come from the match selectors and not the
PVC templates. As such, these versions cannot support PVC labels. If this feature
is required, the only fix is to upgrade the K8s cluster to a newer version.

Hashicorp Vault integration - no support for Gesher (RED-55080)

There is no workaround at this time

REC might report error states on initial startup (RED-61707)

There is no workaround at this time except to ignore the errors.

PVC size issues when using decimal value in spec (RED-62132)

The workaround for this issue is to make sure you use integer values for the PVC size.

Following old revision of quick start guide causes issues creating an REDB due to unrecognized memory field name

The workaround is to use the newer (current) revision of the quick start document available online.

Overview

The Redis Enterprise K8s v6.2.8-2 release provides support for the Redis Enterprise Software release 6.2.8 and includes several enhancements and bug fixes.

The key new features, bug fixes, and known limitations are described below.

Images

This release includes the following container images:

The following are the images and tags for this release:

Component k8s Openshift
Redis Enterprise redislabs/redis:6.2.8-41 redislabs/redis:6.2.8-41.rhel7-openshift
Operator redislabs/operator:6.2.8-2 redislabs/operator:6.2.8-2
Services Rigger redislabs/k8s-controller:6.2.8-2 redislabs/services-manager:6.2.8-2

New features

  • Certificate management capabilities through the Redis Enterprise cluster API (RED-61176)

Feature improvements

  • Support for managing database ports through the REDB API (RED-48286)
  • Use explicit object instead of wildcard for roles (RED-38013)
  • Advanced use case support for custom attributes for REC stateful set and rigger pods (RED-56502, RED-62550, RED-63426)
  • Services-rigger/K8s-controller image changed to ubi-minimal lightweight base image (RED-61866)
  • Support for the Redis upgrade policy setting through the REC API (RED-63000)

Fixed bugs

  • Fixed issue of log rotation not working on OpenShift (RED-64726)

Known limitations

Hashicorp Vault integration - no support for Gesher (RED-55080)

There is no workaround at this time

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 will exceed 63 characters. The workaround is to limit 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.

An unreachable cluster has status running (RED-32805)

When a cluster is in an unreachable state, the state is still running instead of being reported as an error.

Readiness probe incorrect on failures (RED-39300)

STS Readiness probe does not mark a node as "not ready" when running rladmin status on the node fails.

Role missing on replica sets (RED-39002)

The redis-enterprise-operator role is missing permission on replica sets.

Private registries are not supported on OpenShift 3.11 (RED-38579)

Openshift 3.11 does not support DockerHub private registries. This is a known OpenShift issue.

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.

5.4.10 negatively impacts 5.4.6 (RED-37233)

Kubernetes-based 5.4.10 deployments seem to negatively impact existing 5.4.6 deployments that share a Kubernetes cluster.

Node CPU usage is reported instead of pod CPU usage (RED-36884)

In Kubernetes, the node CPU usage we report on is the usage of the Kubernetes worker node hosting the REC pod.

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) is bound to a specific service account name (i.e., "rec"). The workaround is to name the cluster "rec".

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 a REC deployed may hang (RED-47192)

When a 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. As such, until the
REDB resources are deleted, the project deletion will hang. The fix is to delete the
REDB resources first and the REC second. Afterward, you may delete the project.

REC extraLabels are not applied to PVCs on K8s versions 1.15 or older (RED-51921)

In K8s 1.15 or older, the PVC labels come from the match selectors and not the
PVC templates. As such, these versions can not support PVC labels. If this feature
is required, the only fix is to upgrade the K8s cluster to a newer version.

REC might report error states on initial startup (RED-61707)

There is not workaround at this time except to ignore the errors.

PVC size issues when using decimal value in spec (RED-62132)

The workaround for this issue is to make sure you use integer values for the PVC size.
