Topic

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform release 4.6.29 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 4.6.29. See the following advisory for the RPM packages for this
release:

https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2021:1522

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 the Machine Config Operator (MCO) invoked Ignition at startup to check the Ignition version, Ignition would crash. Consequently, the MCO would fail to start. With this update, the MCO no longer queries the Ignition version, and the MCO successfully starts . (BZ#1933206)
