Issue #21427 has been updated by Andrew Parker.
Part these changes is that the agent will no longer send data in YAML over the network. The master will still accept it, but will issue a deprecation message. A side effect of this, is that the master needs to be able to understand some things differently and only a newer master will have that updated protocol. The agent will only be able to talk to the new master (so the 3.3.0 agent will require a master >= 3.3.0), but the master will still be able to communicate with older agents, it will just issue deprecation warnings. ---------------------------------------- Feature #21427: Deprecate YAML for network data transmission https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/21427#change-93772 * Author: Andrew Parker * Status: Accepted * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Patrick Carlisle * Category: * Target version: 3.3.0 * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- YAML serialization has ended up being slower than P/JSON and opens the system up to a number of security flaws. It is time to leave YAML behind on the network layer. We'll continue to keep it for storing some information on disk. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
