    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.

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

    • a9s Redis v6.2: Redis 6.2 is end-of-life by their vendor since September 2023

    • CVE-2024-45296
    • CVE-2024-45590
    • CVE-2024-52798

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.

    To inquire about extended support for a deprecated version, please get in contact with our sales department at sales@anynines.com.

  • a9s MySQL: End of Support: Terminate support, starting from anynines deployment v59.0.0 (expected end of March 2025), for the following deprecated a9s Data Service version:

    • a9s MySQL v10.4: MySQL 10.4 is end-of-life by their vendor since June 2024

    The creation of new a9s Data Service Instances for this deprecated version will 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.

    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.

    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.

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.

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

Removed​

  • breaking change a9s Backup Manager: Remove obsolete variables from the deployment manifest.
  • docs: Application Developer: a9s Service Dashboard: Remove unnecessary header from the "Using a9s Service Dashboard" page. For more information, see Using a9s Service Dashboard.
  • docs: Platform Operator: a9s PostgreSQL: Remove a9s PostgreSQL 10 from the "a9s Data Service Release Lifecycle Table" page. For more information, see a9s Platform Operator Sunrise Sunset - a9s Data Services Life-Cycle Stages.
  • REMOVAL OF OFFERING a9s Elasticsearch: Remove the offering of a9s Elasticsearch 2 from the a9s Data Services, as this version is now unsupported on account of it reaching its EOL on February 2018. We removed the files, version specific examples, references and documentation that relate to the unsupported version.
  • REMOVAL OF OFFERING a9s Messaging: Remove the offering of a9s Messaging 3.6 from the a9s Data Services, as this version is now unsupported on account of it reaching its EOL on May 2018.

Fixed​

  • all services: a9s BOSH Deployer: Improve error handling.
  • all services: a9s DS API Gateway: Forward Content-Type and Accept header to the corresponding backends. This is necessary so that the respective backends can interpret the request correctly.
  • a9s-pg: Fix issue disabling reindex on major upgrade that would cause pre-start on the bootstrap node to fail.
  • a9s-pg: Fix potential exposure to data loss when executing a major upgrade. Data inserted to a blocked cluster would be discarded during the upgrade, causing data loss. The fix ensures the bootstrap node is up-to-date with the primary before moving on with the update procedure.

Upcoming​

  • a9s Prometheus: Grafana: Deprecation: Prepare for the upcoming deprecation phase, planned for the release v50.0.0 (expected end of June), of the following a9s Data Service components:

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

    Please ensure that you organize the upgrade of your existing instances to more up-to-date plans of the same a9s Data Service:

    • for instances using Grafana 5 plans: Plan upgrades are not supported.
    • for instances using Grafana 8 plans: Plans using Grafana 10 are available for a9s Prometheus and the plan upgrades are supported.

    The deprecation phase is planned to last until v56.0.0 (expected end of December 2024), in which the deprecated plans will become unsupported. The creation of new a9s Data Service instances for these particular plans will then be disabled by default in the a9s Data Service Bundle and we will not provide regular support for these plans. The corresponding documentation will also be removed. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you start your migrations to supported plans as soon as possible and complete them until the end of the deprecation phase. For more information see a9s Platform Operator Sunrise Sunset.
