RHBA-2020:4325 - OpenShift Container Platform 4.5.17 bug fix update

Synopsis

OpenShift Container Platform 4.5.17 bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory None

Topic

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform release 4.5.17 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 4.5.17. See the following advisory for the RPM packages for this release:

https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2020:4326

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/4.5/release_notes/ocp-4-5-release-notes.html

This update fixes the following bugs among others:

  • Previously, NICs that had the same NIC profile could not be imported successfully, or the wrong network was chosen. The UI now forces users to select the same network, which is not the pod network, for such NICs. (BZ#1852530)

  • Previously, when importing a VMware VM from a cluster whose name included spaces or special characters, the VM import would fail. Clusters with spaces or special characters included in their name now successfully import VMware VMs. (BZ#1879973)

  • Previously, the node file system calculations for Used and Total were incorrect due to an incorrect query. Now, the query is updated and calculates the data correctly. (BZ#1883177)

  • Registry Operator type assertions were made twice for a variable and the second time the result was not checked. This caused false assertions and created panic conditions. Now, checked type assertions are used and the Operator does not panic. (BZ#1886603)

  • Previously, using a PingSource always failed, which was caused by an outdated API version used in the EventSource CRD. The latest version of the EventSource CRD is now used, allowing users to create all event sources from the web console. (BZ#1889982)

  • Because the HAProxy is reloaded when the router changes the configuration file, the Prometheus counter metrics were decreasing across reloads, which explicitly violates the definition of a counter metric. The router code was fixed to note the time of the last metrics scrape. This prevents scraping beyond the preserved counter values during a reload. As a result the counter metrics do not show a sudden increase followed by a decrease when the router is reloading. (BZ#1890534)

You may download the oc tool and use it to inspect release image metadata as follows:
