v2.3.4

Release Date: August 31, 2020

Resolved Issues

This release has the following fix:

• Rotating the Services TLS CA certificate no longer causes app downtime: In Redis for PCF v2.2.11 and earlier and Redis for Pivotal Platform v2.3.3 and earlier, following the Rotating the Services TLS CA and Its Leaf Certificates procedure can cause downtime for apps bound to the Redis service. This issue no longer occurs.

Known Issues

This release has the following issue:

• Service creation can fail when using an external UAA: An issue with the Redis on-demand service broker and TLS verification means that service creation might fail on the TLS handshake. This has been observed as the upgrade-all-service-instances errand failing, particularly when a separate internal load balancer is present.

Compatibility

The following components are compatible with this release:

v2.3.3

Release Date: April 23, 2020

Resolved Issues

This release has the following fix:

• Static passwords are supported again.

Known Issues

This release has the following known issue:

• Rotating the Services TLS CA certificate might cause app downtime: Leaf certificates do not rotate when following the procedure in Rotating the Services TLS CA and Its Leaf Certificates. If the CA certificate has expired and the rotation is unsuccessful, this causes downtime for apps that bind to Redis for Pivotal Platform service instances.
  To workaround the issue, see Redis On Demand Services do not rotate /services/tls_ca leaf certs resulting in app downtime in the Knowledge Base.

Compatibility

The following components are compatible with this release:

v2.3.2

Release Date: April 17, 2020

Security Fixes

This release includes the following security fix:

• High CVE-2020-9283.

Resolved Issues

This release has the following fixes:

• Smoke tests no longer fail with Ruby buildpack v1.8.11 or later.
• Lua scripting settings are now migrated correctly when upgrading from Redis for Pivotal Cloud Foundry v2.2.
• The CF Service Access settings in the On-Demand Plans pane are now migrated correctly when upgrading from Redis for Pivotal Cloud Foundry v2.2.

Known Issues

This release has the following known issues:

• Configuring Redis services to use a static password results in the error secrets map doesn't consist of expected key. This is because of an issue with the handling of static passwords in the requirepass property.

• Rotating the Services TLS CA certificate might cause app downtime: Leaf certificates do not rotate when following the procedure in Rotating the Services TLS CA and Its Leaf Certificates. If the CA certificate has expired and the rotation is unsuccessful, this causes downtime for apps that bind to Redis for Pivotal Platform service instances.
  To workaround the issue, see Redis On Demand Services do not rotate /services/tls_ca leaf certs resulting in app downtime in the Knowledge Base.

Compatibility

Features

New features and changes in this release:

• You can configure on-demand plans dynamically. For more information, see Configure On-Demand Plan Settings.

• You can upgrade individual on-demand service instances using the cf CLI. To enable this feature, see Enable Individual Service Instance Upgrades. For how to upgrade an individual service instance, see Upgrading an Individual Redis Service Instance.

• Service instance and broker metrics are emitted in Prometheus format. For general information about metrics, see Monitoring Redis for Pivotal Platform.

• Errands have impact warnings when service instance downtime is expected.

• Redis for Pivotal Platform syslog configuration is now managed by Ops Manager. This improvement does not affect syslog configuration in the tile. However, if you use the Ops Manager API or Platform Automation Toolkit, you must modify your syslog configuration to use syslog-properties. When you modify your configuration, ensure that you use om CLI v3.2.0 or later. For more information about syslog-properties, see om in GitHub.
