Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform release 4.4.13 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 4.4.13. See the following advisory for the RPM packages for this
release:

https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2020:2912

This update fixes the following bugs among others:

• Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) allows users to specify volumes and volumeMounts using the `subscriptionConfig` field of a Subscription. Using this feature updates the Deployment defined in the ClusterServiceVersion (CSV). Occasionally, OLM would not have the Subscription created for a CSV in its cache, and the CSV would be placed in the *installing phase* without creating the Deployment with the volumes or volumeMounts defined in the Subscription. OLM would then be unable to move the CSV into the *Succeeded phase* because the calculated Deployment hash would not equal the actual Deployment hash on the Deployment. This error would not be resolved because OLM does not update or recreate the Deployment in the *installing phase*, and the issue would persist until five minutes passed, when OLM would resync CSVs. As a result, OLM would occasionally be delayed while installing CSVs. This bug fix ensures that, if OLM encounters a Deployment hash error when installing a CSV, OLM now recreates the Deployment. As a result, OLM is no longer delayed by an incorrect Deployment hash. (BZ#1827000)
• Previously, the etcd target member matching mechanism was not strict. This sometimes caused the wrong member to be returned if IP addresses overlapped. The etcd target member matching mechanism is now strict, allowing for exact matches only. (BZ#1837152)
• Previously, the AlertmanagerConfigInconsistent alert could fire during an upgrade because some of the Alertmanager Pods were temporarily not running due to a rolling update of the StatefulSet. The alert resolved itself once all Alertmanager Pods had been updated. The alert, however, caused confusion if the configuration was otherwise correct. The alert has been fixed so it ignores the number of running Alertmanager Pods. Now the AlertmanagerConfigInconsistent alert no longer fires during upgrades when some of the Alertmanager Pods are in a non-running transient state. (BZ#1850615)
