RHBA-2020:2786 - OpenShift Container Platform 4.4.11 bug fix update

Synopsis

OpenShift Container Platform 4.4.11 bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory None

Topic

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform release 4.4.11 is now available with updates to packages and images that fix several bugs.

Description

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is Red Hat's cloud computing Kubernetes application platform solution designed for on-premise or private cloud deployments.

This advisory contains the container images for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.4.11. See the following advisory for the RPM packages for this release:

https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2020:2785

Space precludes documenting all of the container images in this advisory. See the following Release Notes documentation, which will be updated shortly for this release, for details about these changes:

https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.4/release_notes/ocp-4-4-release-notes.html

This update fixes the following bugs among others:

  • The OpenShift Pipelines URL referenced in the Pipelines build strategy deprecation note in the web console was giving a 404 error. The URL has been updated to point to the correct URL. (BZ#1822346)

  • Previously, CRD YAML files were using a deprecated string version API, causing the instances tab of the CRD to load a version that wasn't the latest version. CRD YAML files have been updated to use the array version API, which allows the CRD to get the latest version instances. (BZ#1822437)

  • Previously, a MachineSet could have a nil replicas field. Because of this, the Autoscaler could not determine the size of the MachineSet. The Autoscaler has been updated to read the replica count from the status replica field, allowing it to determine the current size of the MachineSet. (BZ#1835160)

  • Previously, there were several cases where a NotFound error was ignored by the controller logic. This caused the controller to not be aware of missing Pods, forcing Operators to wait indefinitely for Pods that were expected to be present. Subsequently, upgrades failed because the underlying issue was never broadcasted to the cluster administrator. This bug fix updates the controller logic to properly handle NotFound events so missing Pods are recognized and can be resolved. (BZ#1843876)
