Unsupported​

  • a9s PostgreSQL: End of Support: Terminate support for the following deprecated a9s Data Service version:

    • a9s PostgreSQL v11: PostgreSQL 11 is end-of-life by their vendor since November 2023

    The creation of new a9s Data Service Instances for this deprecated version is now disabled by default in the a9s Data Service Bundle and we no longer provide regular support for this version. The corresponding documentation has been removed.

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

  • a9s Prometheus: End of Support: Terminate support for the following deprecated a9s Data Service versions:

    • a9s Prometheus Grafana 5: Grafana 5 is end-of-life by their vendor since May 2020
    • a9s Prometheus Grafana 8: Grafana 8 is end-of-life by their vendor since June 2023

    The creation of new a9s 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 Service Instances of these unsupported versions, it cannot be guaranteed that they still work as expected after an update to this release.

Removed​

Fixed​

  • a9s KeyValue: Ensure Logstash uses the default Log4j2 config file from the vendor as the base configuration. This change allows BOSH's logrotate and Log4j2 to properly rotate their assigned logs, instead of overlapping each other.
  • a9s LogMe2: Ensure OpenSearch uses the default Log4j2 config file from the vendor as the base configuration. This change allows BOSH's logrotate and Log4j2 to properly rotate their assigned logs, instead of overlapping each other.

Upcoming​

  • a9s Messaging: Deprecation: Prepare for the upcoming deprecation phase, planned for the release v59.0.0 (expected end of March 2025), of the following a9s Data Service versions:

    • a9s Messaging v3.12: RabbitMQ 3.12 is end-of-life by their vendor since June 2024
    • a9s Messaging v3.13: RabbitMQ 3.13 is end-of-life by their vendor since Sept 2024

    Please ensure that you organize the migration of your existing Service Instances to a more up-to-date version of the same a9s Data Service:

    • for a9s Messaging v3.12: a9s Messaging v4.0 is available as GA version.
    • for a9s Messaging v3.13: a9s Messaging v4.0 is available as GA version.

    The deprecation phase is planned to last until v62.0.0 (expected end of June 2025), in which the unsupport phase of the deprecated versions will start. 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.

    Although we will not intentionally break running Service Instances of this unsupported version, it cannot be guaranteed that they still work as expected after an update to v59.0.0.
