Deprecations
Alert Logic daemonset will be removed in a future release
The optional installation and deployment of the Alert Logic daemonset, which is controlled by the parameter TF_VAR_al_registration_key in the CloudOps for Kubernetes docker-compose.yml file, is deprecated as of CloudOps for Kubernetes release 2.14 and will be removed in the next release, CloudOps for Kubernetes 3.1.
The create-or-delete-mysql-server job will be removed in a future release
The Jenkins job create-or-delete-mysql-server is deprecated as of Cloudops For Kubernetes release 2.13, and will be removed in the next release, CloudOps for Kubernetes 3.1. You should begin using the replacement job create-and-manage-database-server instead. The new create-and-manage-database-server job will detect and use Terraform workspaces created by the create-or-delete-mysql-server job. Use the new create-and-manage-database-server job to manage Amazon Aurora MySQL database services that you previously created with the create-or-delete-mysql-server. Use the new create-and-manage-database-server job to create new Amazon Aurora MySQL or Amazon Postgres RDS database services.
Support for root user containers will be removed in a future release
Support for the root user containers built by older releases of the docker Git repository are deprecated as of Cloudops For Kubernetes release 2.13. Support for deploying root user container images will be removed in the next release, CloudOps for Kubernetes 3.1. You should update to release 4.2.x or newer of the Elastic Path docker Git repository. See Update Containers to Run as Non-root for more information.
Account Management API deployment will be removed in a future release
The Self Managed Commerce Account Management API is the older Account Management offering that could be deployed separately beside Self Managed Commerce. As mentioned in the Account Management API documentation, it has been deprecated in favour of newer Account Management functionality built into Self Managed Commerce 8.2 and later. Support for deploying or updating the Account Management API will be removed from CloudOps for Kubernetes in an upcoming release.
The create-additional-kubernetes-cluster job will be removed in a future release
The Jenkins job create-additional-kubernetes-cluster and the ability to create and manage additional EKS clusters through Jenkins are deprecated and will be removed in the next release, CloudOps for Kubernetes 3.1. Elastic Path is not aware that this feature is used and will remove it to simplify the CloudOps for Kubernetes design and implementation.
