Deprecated​

  • a9s Prometheus: Deprecation: Deprecate the following a9s Data Service versions:

    • a9s Prometheus: Grafana 5
    • a9s Prometheus: Grafana 8

    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 instances using Grafana 5 plans: Plan upgrades are not supported.
    • for instances using Grafana 8 plans: Plan upgrades to a9s Prometheus plans using Grafana 10 are supported.

    This deprecation follows the announcement in v47.0.0 . The deprecation phase is planned to last until v56.0.0 (expected end of December 2024), in which the deprecated versions will become unsupported. The creation of new a9s Data Service instances for these particular versions will then be disabled by default in the a9s Data Service Bundle and we will not provide regular support for these versions. 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.

  • a9s Redis: Deprecation: Deprecate the following a9s Data Service version:

    • a9s Redis v6
