Puppet Application Manager Release
Puppet Product Updates
We have released updates to the Puppet Application Platform used by Puppet Comply and Continuous Delivery for PE. These bring:
Distinct architectures for standalone and high availability deployments of the Puppet Application Manager platform. Standalone supports lower system requirements and resolves inherent flaws in using Ceph on a single node. High availability uses an updated version of Rook for faster, more reliable distributed storage.
Note that it's not possible to upgrade to these architectures from existing installs, but we will support migrating applications between them in a future release.
The previous architecture is maintained as the legacy configuration. This version includes an upgrade of Kubernetes to 1.19.10; this upgrade process upgrades through Kubernetes 1.18, and happens on all nodes. It can take ~1 hour to do for a 3-node cluster, and requires confirmations during that period. It also includes an upgrade of Project Contour to version 1.14.1, adds Metrics Server 0.4.1, an upgrade of ekco to 0.10.1, and an upgrade of Prometheus to 2.26.0.
Your existing CD for PE installations do not have to be migrated at this time and will continue to be supported. In the near future we will release a migration assistant to help you move your existing CD for PE installation to the new architecture.
