v6.8.1

This is a stable release of the Linux contextualization packages, which comes along with OpenNebula 6.8 Rosette.

Together with the v6.8.1 context packages we also release the toolchain for the images build. See: one-apps readme for details.

Context Linux

the main difference in this release is the changed default for the network configuration tools:

• for Ubuntu from interfaces to networkd
• for AlmaLinux/CentOS/Fedora/OracleLinux/RedHat/Rocky from scripts to NetworkManager

This change was introduced to better align with the upstream default network tool, it is potentially breaking change as some configuration tools could assume the old default. In any case, you can rollback to the previous behavior by setting NETCFG_TYPE="interfaces" for Ubuntu and NETCFG_TYPE="scripts" for the RedHat-like distribution in the CONTEXT section of the VM template.

Service appliances

OneKE

Change log (version 1.27.2-6.8.1-1-20240131)

• This release introduces the VRouter Appliance that has been used in OneKE to replace the legacy VNF Appliance.
• F #-: Update OneKE, use new VR and service scripts
• M #-: oneke: GW/DNS/Convergence optimizations
• Both ONEAPP_VROUTER_ETH0_VIP0 and ONEAPP_VROUTER_ETH1_VIP0 are optional now, when left blank OneKE assumes non-HA operation and tries to use regular IPs from the VRouter VM.
• The ONEAPP_VNF_KEEPALIVED_VRID parameter has been removed as the VRouter VM tries to derive it from SERVICE_ID.
• The DNS recursor is now enabled by default ONEAPP_VNF_DNS_ENABLED (this adds local-zone domain names).

Update February 13th, 2024 (version 1.27.2-6.8.1-1-20240213)

• Fix for access lists in unbound: M #-: VR: Infer netmasks when computing subnets

VRouter

Change log (version 6.8.1-1-20240131)

This is a complete drop-in replacement for the VNF Appliance. The context interface is mostly identical with some key differences:

• Keepalived cannot be disabled.
• Keepalived tries to infer / guess virtual_router_id when unconfigured.
• Load balancers LVS and HAProxy now work in both Virtual Router and OneFlow Service scenarios.
• NIC alias support for the DHCP4 feature has been removed.
• DNS feature auto-generates now local-zone domain names ipY.ethX.vr, vipY.ethX.vr and epY.ethX.vr .
• Custom config snippets have been removed.

Update February 15th, 2024 (version 6.8.1-1-20240215)

• Fix for one-failover service: M #-: VR: Support multiline values in load_env

Update February 22th, 2024 (version 6.8.1-1-20240222)

• LVS: Allow for forwarding all LVS ports in Virtual Router in the static scenario
• NAT4: VR: Add simple port-forwarding for the NAT4 module (DNAT)
• LVS: VR: undefined method `upcase' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) if protocol is missing

WordPress
