Unsupported

a9s Messaging: End of Support: Terminate support for the following deprecated data service versions:

Although we will not intentionally break running a9s Data Service Instances of this unsupported version, it cannot be guaranteed that they still work as expected after an update to this release.

Removed

a9s Backup Manager: Remove outdated restart-above-memory-usage feature to prevent unnecessary restarts of the a9s Backup Manager processes, which could cause delays in backup scheduling.
a9s Backup Manager: Allow multiple CAs to verify the a9s Backup Agents' server certificates. This is particularly necessary for a CA certificate rotation, as both the new and the old certificate must be available to verify the server certificate during the rotation.

Deprecated

a9s MongoDB: Deprecation: Deprecate the following a9s Data Service version:
- a9s MongoDB 5
Please ensure that you organize the migration of your existing instances to a more up-to-date version of the same a9s Data Service:
- for a9s MongoDB: a9s MongoDB 7 is available as a GA version.
This deprecation follows the announcement in v51.0.0. The deprecation phase is planned to last until v60.0.0 (expected end of April 2025), in which the deprecated version will become unsupported. The creation of new a9s Data Service instances for this particular version will then be disabled by default in the a9s Data Service Bundle and we will not provide regular support for this version. The corresponding documentation will also be removed. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you start your migrations to a supported GA version as soon as possible and complete them until the end of the deprecation phase. For more information, see a9s Platform Operator Sunrise Sunset.
To inquire about extended support for a deprecated version, please get in contact with our sales department at sales@anynines.com.

Removed

maintenance: Remove a9s Harbor remnants from config examples and Ops files. This a9s Data Service is unsupported since anynines-deployment v37.0.0.

Changed

breaking change all services: a9s Backup Agent: Complete refactoring of the a9s Backup Agent and overhaul of the general backup system architecture to:
- support mTLS as the only communication between the a9s Backup Agent and the a9s Backup Manager
- speed up the communication between the a9s Backup Agent and a9s Backup Manager by pushing the necessary information as soon as the task has finished instead of polling the various states at defined intervals
- improve error handling and logging, and increase the resilience of the entire a9s Backup Agent
breaking change a9s Backup Manager: Rename the deployment manifest variable, which stores the a9s Backup Manager Server certificate, from a9s_backup_manager_tls_cert to backup_manager_server_cert for consistency.
breaking change a9s Backup Manager: Change the Common Name (CN) of the a9s Backup Manager Server certificate from the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) to the generic string a9s Backup Manager TLS Certificate. As the CN can only contain a certain amount of characters, the FQDN can end up being too long, depending on the Consul domain configuration. With this we also follow the deprecation of the CN to verify the server identity as described in RFC2818.
breaking change a9s Backup Manager: Change the default port for the communication from the a9s Backup Manager to the a9s Backup Agent from 3000 (non-TLS) to 3001 (mTLS). For more information, see a9s Platform Required Ports.
breaking change a9s Billing: Disable the export of invoices to a9s Invoices by default, since this component is not included by default with a9s Billing. To enable the export once more, the add_a9s_invoices.yml ops-file has been extended to set cf_billing.export to true.
breaking change a9s LogMe2: Enable backup tests of the a9s Smoke Tests by default.

Deprecated

a9s MariaDB: Deprecation: Deprecate the following a9s Data Service version:

Please ensure that you organize the migration of your existing instances to a more up-to-date version of the same a9s Data Service:
- for a9s MariaDB: a9s MariaDB 10.6 and 10.11 are available as GA versions.
This deprecation follows the announcement in v50.0.0 . The deprecation phase is planned to last until v56.0.0 (expected end of December 2024), in which the deprecated version will become unsupported. The creation of new a9s Data Service instances for this particular version will then be disabled by default in the a9s Data Service Bundle and we will not provide regular support for this version. The corresponding documentation will also be removed. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you start your migrations to a supported GA version as soon as possible and complete them until the end of the deprecation phase. For more information, see a9s Platform Operator Sunrise Sunset.
To inquire about extended support for a deprecated version, please get in contact with our sales department at sales@anynines.com.

Deprecated

a9s PostgreSQL: Deprecation: Deprecate the following a9s Data Service version:

Please ensure that you organize the migration of your existing instances to a more up-to-date version of the same a9s Data Service:
- for a9s PostgreSQL: a9s PostgreSQL 15 and 13 are available as GA versions.
This deprecation follows the announcement in v44.0.0 . The deprecation phase is planned to last until v53.0.0 (expected end of October 2024), in which the deprecated version will become unsupported. The creation of new a9s Data Service instances for this particular version will then be disabled by default in the a9s Data Service Bundle and we will not provide regular support for this version. The corresponding documentation will also be removed. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you start your migrations to a supported GA version as soon as possible and complete them until the end of the deprecation phase. For more information see a9s Platform Operator Sunrise Sunset.
