Unsupported​

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

    • a9s MongoDB 3.x
    • a9s MongoDB 4.0

    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.

Removed​

  • breaking change all services: Remove the Instance Group force_deployment_updater from all a9s Data Service deployment manifests. This errand is only needed when the feature Block Automatic Updates is enabled. For more information see Block Automatic Updates.

Fixed​

  • a9s Backup Manager: Fix the InitializeBackupDeletionJob job by refactoring it into separate methods to deal with a specific type of backup each. This fixes the cases where, at times, backups without a backup name would cause the job to fail and restart.
  • docs: all services: Fix several minor typos and misnaming ocurrences.
  • docs: all services: Fix the internal documentation links to reflect the restructuring of the a9s Service Dashboard documentation and the a9s Installation Guide.
