API service support for TLS v1.2 and v1.3.

API Enhancements

  • Update volumes and snapshots by volume/snapshot name (in addition to UUID).

  • Improved upgrade status tracking using lbcli list upgrade-status and lbcli get clusterinfo -o json.

OpenStack

OpenStack Cinder Active/Active High Availability support.

Platform

Support for installing Lightbits nodes on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and Alma Linux 8, with kernel versions:

  • 4.18.0-477.13.1

  • 4.18.0-372.9.1

Notes:

  1. Other kernel versions on RHEL/Alma 8 are not supported.

  2. When upgrading an existing Lightbits deployment on an older RHEL kernel, the Linux kernel must be upgraded first and without rebooting the server. Lightbits software should then be upgraded to v3.3.1, which will reboot and load Lightbits over the new kernel.

For the full list of supported operating systems and kernels, see the General System Requirements page of the Lightbits Installation and Configuration Guide.
