Deprecations and Removals
Overview
Elastic Path will occasionally decide to remove features and capabilities from CloudOps for Kubernetes. This page is where we will announce items that have been deprecated or removed in CloudOps for Kubernetes releases.
Contact Us
Contact Elastic Path Support, or your Elastic Path Customer Success Manager, if any planned deprecations or removals will negatively impact you and your team.
Removals
The create-additional-kubernetes-cluster job cannot be added
The ability to enable the create-additional-kubernetes-cluster Jenkins job is removed in CloudOps for Kubernetes release 3.1, though customers who previously enabled the job can continue to use the job in CloudOps for Kubernetes release 3.1. Contact Elastic Path Support, or your Elastic Path Customer Success Manager, if you rely on this job.
The create-or-delete-mysql-server job has been removed
The create-or-delete-mysql-server Jenkins job is removed in CloudOps for Kubernetes release 3.1. Use the create-and-manage-database-server job to manage Amazon Aurora MySQL database services that you previously created with create-or-delete-mysql-server. The create-and-manage-database-server job will detect and use Terraform workspaces created by the create-or-delete-mysql-server job. To continue managing Amazon Aurora MySQL database services, run the create-and-manage-database-server job with the same kubernetesNickname value and correct databaseType and database engine version values.
Account Management API deployment has been removed
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 has been removed from CloudOps for Kubernetes in release 3.1.
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-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 3.2. Elastic Path is not aware that this feature is used and will remove it to simplify the CloudOps for Kubernetes design and implementation.
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. 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.
