Deprecated​

  • a9s LogMe: Deprecation: Deprecate the following data service version:

    • a9s LogMe

    Please ensure that you organize the migration of your existing instances to a more up-to-date version of the same data service:

    • for a9s LogMe: a9s LogMe2 is available as GA version

    This deprecation follows the announcement in the previous release. The deprecation phase is planned to last until v42.0.0 (in October 2023), in which the deprecated version will become unsupported. The creation of new 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.

Unsupported​

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

    • a9s Redis 3.2
    • a9s Redis 4

    The creation of new data service instances for these deprecated versions is now disabled by default in the a9s Data Service Bundle and we no longer provide regular support for these versions. The corresponding documentation has been removed.

    Although we will not intentionally break running instances of these unsupported versions, it cannot be guaranteed that they still work as expected after an update to this release.
