Version changes

Breaking changes

The following changes included in this release affect the upgrade process. Please read carefully before upgrading.

ValidatingWebhookConfiguration

Versions 6.4.2-4 and later include a new ValidatingWebhookConfiguration resource to replace the redb-admission webhook resource. To use releases 6.4.2-4 or later, delete the old webhook resource and apply the new file. See upgrade Redis cluster for instructions.

OpenShift SCC

Versions 6.4.2-6 and later include a new SCC (redis-enterprise-scc-v2) that you need to bind to your service account before upgrading. OpenShift clusters running version 6.2.12 or earlier upgrading to version 6.2.18 or later might get stuck if you skip this step. See upgrade a Redis Enterprise cluster (REC) for instructions.

Deprecations

  • Redis Enterprise no longer supports Ubuntu-based images.

Upcoming Changes

  • Future Redis Enterprise images will be UBI9-based only, without support for Ubuntu-based images.

OLM bundle

Redis Enterprise operator bundle : v7.4.2-12.0

Known limitations

New limitations

  • Missing endpoint for admission endpoint (rare) (RED-119469) Restart the operator pod.

Existing limitations

  • The REDB “redisVersion” field can’t be used for memcached databases(RED-119152)

  • When modifying the database suffix for an Active-Active database, while the service-rigger is in a terminating state, the services-rigger will delete and create the ingress or route resources in a loop (RED-107687) Wait until the services rigger pod has finished to terminate it.

  • REAADB changes might fail with "gateway timeout" errors, mostly on OpenShift (RED-103048) Retry the operation.

  • Creating two databases with the same name directly on Redis Enterprise software will cause the service to be deleted and the database will not be available (RED-99997) Avoid duplicating database names. Database creation via K8s has validation in place to prevent this.

  • Installing the operator bundle produces warning: Warning: would violate PodSecurity "restricted: v1.24" (RED-97381) Ignore the warning. This issue is documented as benign on official Red Hat documentation.

  • RERC resources must have a unique name (RED-96302) The string "rec-name"/"rec-namespace" must be different from all other participating clusters in the Active-Active database.

  • Admission is not blocking REAADB with shardCount which exceeds license quota (RED-96301) Fix the problems with the REAADB and reapply.

  • Active-Active controller only supports global database options. Configuration specific to location is not supported (RED-86490)

  • Active-Active setup removal might keep services or routes undeleted (RED-77752) Delete services or routes manually if you encounter this problem.

  • autoUpgrade set to true can cause unexpected bdb upgrades when redisUpgradePolicy is set to true (RED-72351) Contact support if your deployment is impacted.

  • Following the previous quick start guide version causes issues with creating an REDB due to unrecognized memory field name (RED-69515) The workaround is to use the newer (current) revision of Deploy Redis Enterprise Software for Kubernetes.

  • PVC size issues when using decimal value in spec (RED-62132) Make sure you use integer values for the PVC size.

  • REC might report error states on initial startup (RED-61707) There is no workaround at this time except to ignore the errors.

  • Hashicorp Vault integration - no support for Gesher (RED-55080) There is no workaround for this issue. Gesher support has been deprecated.

  • REC clusters fail to start on Kubernetes clusters with unsynchronized clocks (RED-47254) When REC clusters are deployed on Kubernetes clusters without synchronized clocks, the REC cluster does not start correctly. The fix is to use NTP to synchronize the underlying K8s nodes.

  • Deleting an OpenShift project with an REC deployed may hang (RED-47192) When an REC cluster is deployed in a project (namespace) and has REDB resources, the REDB resources must be deleted first before the REC can be deleted. Therefore, until the REDB resources are deleted, the project deletion will hang. The fix is to delete the REDB resources first and the REC second. Then, you can delete the project.

Highlights

The primary purpose of this release is to support Redis Enterprise 7.4.2, which is a major update to Redis Enterprise Software. As such, we have limited the scope of changes to focus on supporting RS 7.4 changes, in addition to implementing a few enhancements and major fixes.

New in this release

Enhancements

  • Added RESP3 support in K8s APIs (RED-94601)
  • Added to supported distributions
  • Added support for Redis Enterprise Software 7.4.2
  • Enhanced resilience of operators to misconfigured REDB namespaces (RED-113908)
  • Both the operator and services rigger are now based on UBI9 (RED-116083)

Resolved issues

  • Fixed the operator to prevent reconciliation of non-REDB custom resources in observed namespaces. This eliminates the need for unnecessary permission rules. (RED-87790)
  • Fixed excessive updates to ingresses and services. (RED-109289)
  • Fixed update issues in rigger after the upgrade in multi-namespace environments. (RED-111732)
  • Fixed Active-Active sharding configuration by adding a new field. (RED-112909)
  • Fixed operator CVE. (RED-115157)
  • Fixed a race condition that could have rarely caused the cluster upgrade to break. (RED-118940)

API changes

CRD Field Change Description
REC resp3Default Add Boolean controlling whether Resp3 should be enabled by default
REDB resp3 Add Controls resp3 for specific REDBs

Version changes

Breaking changes

The following changes included in this release affect the upgrade process. Please read carefully before upgrading.

Upgrade operating system

If your databases use modules, you need to update all nodes in the cluster to Redis Enterprise 7.2.4 or later before upgrading your operating system. See Upgrade a cluster's operating systemin the Redis Enterprise Software documentation for more details.

terminationGracePeriodSeconds

The configurable terminationGracePeriodSeconds REC field was added in version 7.2.4-12 to replace the hard-coded timeout of 15 minutes for a node to be stopped or drained (RED-111471).

ValidatingWebhookConfiguration

Versions 6.4.2-4 and later include a new ValidatingWebhookConfiguration resource to replace the redb-admission webhook resource. To use releases 6.4.2-4 or later, delete the old webhook resource and apply the new file. See upgrade Redis cluster for instructions.

OpenShift SCC

Versions 6.4.2-6 and later include a new SCC (redis-enterprise-scc-v2) that you need to bind to your service account before upgrading.

Known limitations

The limitations below are specific to the Redis Enterprise for Kubernetes product. To view limitations for the supported Redis Enterprise Software version, see the 7.2.4 release notes.

New limitations

  • Cannot upgrade or recover clusters if there are databases with modules that aren't built in (RED-107711 RED-106872) Contact support to upload your modules manually.

  • When modifying the database suffix for an Active-Active database, while the service-rigger is in a terminating state, the services-rigger will detele and create the ingress or route resources in a loop (RED-107687) Wait until the services- rigger pod has finished to terminate it.

Existing limitations

  • REAADB changes might fail with "gateway timeout" errors, mostly on OpenShift (RED-103048) Retry the operation.

  • Misleading error appears when a service creation has failed due to service already existing "provided IP is already allocated" (RED-100669) Delete the service manually.

  • Existing OpenShift route during REC creation might prevent REC from starting (RED-100668) Delete the route manually.

  • Creating two databases with the same name directly on Redis Enterprise software will cause the service to be deleted and the database will not be available (RED-99997) Avoid duplicating database names. Database creation via K8s has validation in place to prevent this.

  • Installing the operator bundle produces warning: Warning: would violate PodSecurity "restricted: v1.24" (RED-97381) Ignore the warning. This issue is documented as benign on official Red Hat documentation.

  • RERC resources must have a unique name (RED-96302) The string "rec-name"/"rec-namespace" must be different from all other participating clusters in the Active-Active database.

  • Admission is not blocking REAADB with shardCount which exceeds license quota (RED-96301) Fix the problems with the REAADB and reapply.

  • Active-Active controller only supports global database options. Configuration specific to location is not supported (RED-86490)

  • Active-Active setup removal might keep services or routes undeleted (RED-77752) Delete services or routes manually if you encounter this problem.

  • autoUpgrade set to true can cause unexpected bdb upgrades when redisUpgradePolicy is set to true (RED-72351) Contact support if your deployment is impacted.

  • Following the previous quick start guide version causes issues with creating an REDB due to unrecognized memory field name (RED-69515) The workaround is to use the newer (current) revision of Deploy Redis Enterprise Software for Kubernetes.

Known limitations

This release doesn't introduce any new known limitations. See section below for existing known limitations.

Existing limitations

  • RERC resources must have a unique name (RED-96302) The string "rec-name"/"rec-namespace" must be different from all other participating clusters in teh Active-Active database.

  • Admission is not blocking REAADB with shardCount which exceeds license quota (RED-96301) Fix the problems with the REAADB and reapply.

  • Active-Active setup removal might keep services or routes undeleted (RED-77752) Delete services or routes manually if you encounter this problem.

  • autoUpgrade set to true can cause unexpected bdb upgrades when redisUpgradePolicy is set to true (RED-72351) Contact support if your deployment is impacted.

  • Following the previous quick start guide version causes issues with creating an REDB due to unrecognized memory field name (RED-69515) The workaround is to use the newer (current) revision of Deploy Redis Enterprise Software for Kubernetes.

  • PVC size issues when using decimal value in spec (RED-62132) Make sure you use integer values for the PVC size.

  • REC might report error states on initial startup (RED-61707) There is no workaround at this time except to ignore the errors.

  • Hashicorp Vault integration - no support for Gesher (RED-55080) There is no workaround for this issue. Gesher support has been deprecated.

  • REC clusters fail to start on Kubernetes clusters with unsynchronized clocks (RED-47254) When REC clusters are deployed on Kubernetes clusters without synchronized clocks, the REC cluster does not start correctly. The fix is to use NTP to synchronize the underlying K8s nodes.

  • Deleting an OpenShift project with an REC deployed may hang (RED-47192) When an REC cluster is deployed in a project (namespace) and has REDB resources, the REDB resources must be deleted first before the REC can be deleted. Therefore, until the REDB resources are deleted, the project deletion will hang. The fix is to delete the REDB resources first and the REC second. Then, you can delete the project.

  • Clusters must be named 'rec' in OLM-based deployments (RED-39825) In OLM-deployed operators, the deployment of the cluster will fail if the name is not "rec". When the operator is deployed via the OLM, the security context constraints (scc) are bound to a specific service account name (namely, "rec"). The workaround is to name the cluster "rec".

  • Readiness probe incorrect on failures (RED-39300) STS Readiness probe does not mark a node as "not ready" when running rladmin status on node failure.

  • Internal DNS and Kubernetes DNS may have conflicts (RED-37462) DNS conflicts are possible between the cluster mdns_server and the K8s DNS. This only impacts DNS resolution from within cluster nodes for Kubernetes DNS names.

  • Node CPU usage is reported instead of pod CPU usage (RED-36884) In Kubernetes, the reported node CPU usage is the usage of the Kubernetes worker node hosting the REC pod.

  • An unreachable cluster has status running (RED-32805) When a cluster is in unreachable state, the state remains running instead of triggering an error.

  • Long cluster names cause routes to be rejected (RED-25871) A cluster name longer than 20 characters will result in a rejected route configuration because the host part of the domain name exceeds 63 characters. The workaround is to limit the cluster name to 20 characters or fewer.

  • Cluster CR (REC) errors are not reported after invalid updates (RED-25542) A cluster CR specification error is not reported if two or more invalid CR resources are updated in sequence.

Active-Active preview known limitations

  • No support for Hashicorp Vault for storing secrets (RED-95805)

  • No module support (RED-95153)

  • No support for client certificates in secrets (RED-95724)

  • No support for backup configuration (RED-95724)

  • No support for upgrading the database Redis version

  • REAADB secret status isn't updated in source cluster (RED-96296)

    The workaround is to view the secret status in one of the remote clusters.

  • Invalid REAADB is not rejected by admission might get deleted after apply. (RED-96300)

    Fix the problems with the REAADB and reapply. Contact support if you aren't sure why the REAADB is invalid.

  • Admission is not blocking REAADB with shardCount which exceeds license quota. (RED-96301)

    Fix the problems with the REAADB and reapply.

  • RERC resources must have a unique name (<rec-name>/<rec-namespace>). (RED-96302)

  • Only global database options are supported, not support for specifying configuration per location.

  • Can't automatically update the cluster secret via the operator (can be updated manually).

  • No support for migration from old (manual) Active-Active database method to new Active-Active controller.

Known limitations

  • Long cluster names cause routes to be rejected (RED-25871)

    A cluster name longer than 20 characters will result in a rejected route configuration because the host part of the domain name exceeds 63 characters. The workaround is to limit the cluster name to 20 characters or fewer.

  • Cluster CR (REC) errors are not reported after invalid updates (RED-25542)

    A cluster CR specification error is not reported if two or more invalid CR resources are updated in sequence.

  • An unreachable cluster has status running (RED-32805)

    When a cluster is in unreachable state, the state remains running instead of triggering an error.

  • Readiness probe incorrect on failures (RED-39300)

    STS Readiness probe does not mark a node as "not ready" when running rladmin status on node failure.

  • Internal DNS and Kubernetes DNS may have conflicts (RED-37462)

    DNS conflicts are possible between the cluster mdns_server and the K8s DNS. This only impacts DNS resolution from within cluster nodes for Kubernetes DNS names.

  • 5.4.10 negatively impacts 5.4.6 (RED-37233)

    Kubernetes-based 5.4.10 deployments seem to negatively impact existing 5.4.6 deployments that share a Kubernetes cluster.

  • Node CPU usage is reported instead of pod CPU usage (RED-36884)

    In Kubernetes, the reported node CPU usage is the usage of the Kubernetes worker node hosting the REC pod.

  • Clusters must be named "rec" in OLM-based deployments (RED-39825)

    In OLM-deployed operators, the deployment of the cluster will fail if the name is not "rec". When the operator is deployed via the OLM, the security context constraints (scc) are bound to a specific service account name (namely, "rec"). The workaround is to name the cluster "rec".

  • REC clusters fail to start on Kubernetes clusters with unsynchronized clocks (RED-47254)

    When REC clusters are deployed on Kubernetes clusters with unsynchronized clocks, the REC cluster does not start correctly. The fix is to use NTP to synchronize the underlying K8s nodes.

  • Deleting an OpenShift project with an REC deployed may hang (RED-47192)

    When an REC cluster is deployed in a project (namespace) and has REDB resources, the REDB resources must be deleted first before the REC can be deleted. Therefore, until the REDB resources are deleted, the project deletion will hang. The fix is to delete the REDB resources first and the REC second. Then, you can delete the project.

  • Hashicorp Vault integration - no support for Gesher (RED-55080)

    There is no workaround at this time.

  • REC might report error states on initial startup (RED-61707)

    There is no workaround at this time except to ignore the errors.

  • PVC size issues when using decimal value in spec (RED-62132)

    The workaround for this issue is to make sure you use integer values for the PVC size.

  • Following the previous quick start guide version causes issues with creating an REDB due to unrecognized memory field name (RED-69515)

    The workaround is to use the newer (current) revision of the quick start.

  • autoUpgrade set to true can cause unexpected bdb upgrades when redisUpgradePolicy is set to true (RED-72351)

    Contact support if your deployment is impacted.

* Support added in this release

Known limitations

  • Long cluster names cause routes to be rejected (RED-25871)

    A cluster name longer than 20 characters will result in a rejected route configuration because the host part of the domain name will exceed 63 characters. The workaround is to limit cluster name to 20 characters or less.

  • Cluster CR (REC) errors are not reported after invalid updates (RED-25542)

    A cluster CR specification error is not reported if two or more invalid CR resources are updated in sequence.

  • An unreachable cluster has status running (RED-32805)

    When a cluster is in an unreachable state, the state is still running instead of being reported as an error.

  • Readiness probe incorrect on failures (RED-39300)

    STS Readiness probe does not mark a node as "not ready" when running rladmin status on node failure.

  • Internal DNS and Kubernetes DNS may have conflicts (RED-37462)

    DNS conflicts are possible between the cluster mdns_server and the K8s DNS. This only impacts DNS resolution from within cluster nodes for Kubernetes DNS names.

  • 5.4.10 negatively impacts 5.4.6 (RED-37233)

    Kubernetes-based 5.4.10 deployments seem to negatively impact existing 5.4.6 deployments that share a Kubernetes cluster.

  • Node CPU usage is reported instead of pod CPU usage (RED-36884)

    In Kubernetes, the node CPU usage we report on is the usage of the Kubernetes worker node hosting the REC pod.

  • Clusters must be named "rec" in OLM-based deployments (RED-39825)

    In OLM-deployed operators, the deployment of the cluster will fail if the name is not "rec". When the operator is deployed via the OLM, the security context constraints (scc) are bound to a specific service account name (i.e., "rec"). The workaround is to name the cluster "rec".

  • REC clusters fail to start on Kubernetes clusters with unsynchronized clocks (RED-47254)

    When REC clusters are deployed on Kubernetes clusters with unsynchronized clocks, the REC cluster does not start correctly. The fix is to use NTP to synchronize the underlying K8s nodes.

  • Deleting an OpenShift project with an REC deployed may hang (RED-47192)

    When a REC cluster is deployed in a project (namespace) and has REDB resources, the REDB resources must be deleted first before the REC can be deleted. As such, until the REDB resources are deleted, the project deletion will hang. The fix is to delete the REDB resources first and the REC second. Afterwards, you may delete the project.

  • Hashicorp Vault integration - no support for Gesher (RED-55080)

    There is no workaround at this time.

  • REC might report error states on initial startup (RED-61707)

    There is no workaround at this time except to ignore the errors.

  • PVC size issues when using decimal value in spec (RED-62132)

    The workaround for this issue is to make sure you use integer values for the PVC size.

  • Following old revision of quick start guide causes issues creating an REDB due to unrecognized memory field name (RED-69515)

    The workaround is to use the newer (current) revision of the [quick start document]({{<relref "/kubernetes/deployment/quick-start.md">}}) available online.

  • autoUpgrade set to true by operator might cause unexpected bdb upgrades when redisUpgradePolicy is set to true (RED-72351)

    Contact support if your deployment is impacted.
