RHBA-2020:2180 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform release 4.4.5 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 4.4.5. See the following advisory for the RPM packages for this
release:

https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2020:2179

This update fixes the following bugs among others:

• Previously, the Cloud Credential Operator was bypassing security context

constraints (SCC). This caused the Cloud Credential Operator to run with excess
permissions that were not needed. This bug fix configures the Cloud Credential
Operator to use SCC. (BZ#1807659)

• Previously, the Samples Operator would send alerts about an invalid

configuration or missing image pull secrets, even when it was bootstrapped as
removed. However, a valid configuration or valid pull secrets are not required
when the Operator is removed. This led to misleading alerts. Now the Samples
Operator does not send alerts related to importing samples when it is
bootstrapped as removed. (BZ#1814395)

• Previously, cluster installations would fail when creating the master VMs when

the vNIC profile did not match the network to which it belonged. This was fixed
by adding a property to the `install-config.yaml` that allows you to specify the
vNIC profile ID:

platform:
ovirt:
vnicProfileID: <VNIC_PROFILE_ID>

Now the profile ID specified in the `install-config.yaml` file is used when
creating the master and worker VM network interfaces. (BZ#1820575)

• Previously, a namespace was required for normal users to view Network In and

Network Out metrics on the Pod Details page of the web console. A normal user
could not view these metrics because a namespace was not supplied in this
context. Now a namespace property is provided and normal users can view the
Network In and Network Out metrics on the Pod Details page. (BZ#1821625)

• The web console included slirp as an option when adding a NIC to a virtual

machine, but slirp was not a valid NIC type. This option has been removed. (BZ#1828849)
