RHBA-2021:0510 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform release 4.6.18 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 4.6.18. See the following advisory for the RPM packages for this
release:

https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2020:0511

Space precludes documenting all of the container images in this advisory.
See the following Release Notes documentation, which will be updated
shortly for this release, for details about these changes:

https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.6/release_notes/ocp-4-6-release-notes.html

This update fixes the following bugs among others:

• Previously, when Conditional Tasks failed, they would be improperly read by the UI and show as `pending`. As a result, the Pipeline run would show a permanent `pending` status for each failed task. This update applies both the `skipped` icon and the color grey to the task when it fails to be read. Thus, users now see Conditional Tasks that have failed as `skipped` instead of `pending`, providing a clearer picture of the Pipeline run state.
• Previously, some Helm chart repositories generated unresolvable relative URLs, which were unreachable while instantiating a helm release from a chart. This update ensures that relative chart URLs are translated to absolute (reachable) URLs while instantiating a release from a chart.
• Previously, if the hostname from the vSphere metadata was not set before the NetworkManager started, the vSphere metadata would be ignored. This update now sets the hostname as `vsphere-hostname.service` before the NetworkManager starts, so long as this information is available within the vSphere metadata.
• Previously, pull secret errors where the authorization key was not base64 encoded were not propagated through the build stack; this made determining the root cause of build errors difficult. This update allows errors like `invalid key build pull` to propagate through the build stack. As a result, determining the root cause of pull secret errors is now easier for users.
• Previously, if the `DeploymentConfig` API returned more than 250 Pods, some Pod information was unavailable. As a result, the OpenShift desktop application would crash. This update ensures that the application does not crash when the project contains more than 250 Pods.

All OpenShift Container Platform 4.6 users are advised to upgrade to these
updated packages and images when they are available in the appropriate
release channel. To check for available updates, use the OpenShift Console
or the CLI oc command. Instructions for upgrading a cluster are available
at
https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.6/updating/updating-cluster-between-minor.html#understanding-upgrade-channels_updating-cluster-between-minor.
