RHBA-2021:0714 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform release 4.5.34 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 4.5.34. See the following advisory for the RPM packages for this
release:

https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2021:0713

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/4.5/release_notes/ocp-4-5-release-notes.html

This update fixes the following bug among others:

• Previously, if the `lib-bucket-provisioner` service account was missing,

the creation of `lib-bucket-provisioner` InstallPlan overloaded the
etcd and impacted the performance of the cluster. This update
implements the `Service Account Gatherer` to the Insights Operator to
collect field `managementState` of OpenShift Operators, which is anonymized
and stored in the Insights Operator archive report. (BZ#1885936)

• Previously, the Cluster Version Operator was not syncing `ClusterVersion` during graceful shutdowns. During updates, the outgoing Cluster Version Operator was likely to exit after verifying the incoming release, but before pushing the `verified: true` value into the `ClusterVersion` history. With this update, the Cluster Version Operator now provides additional time to perform a final `ClusterVersion` status synchronization during shutdown. As a result, the `verified` values of `ClusterVersion` are now consistently `true`. (BZ#1931025)
