This is a new upstream release that addresses various issues present in 2.4.2.
MAAS 2.4.2 fixes various issues that were present on MAAS 2.4.2.
https://launchpad.net/maas/+milestone/2.4.1
https://launchpad.net/maas/+milestone/2.4.2
This point release includes fixes/enhancements for hardware enablement
and to address customer related issues that are worth noting:
- Enhancements/Hardware Enablement
- --------------------------------
-
- * Bug 1750622 "[feature] Add ability to select the BIOS boot method for
- IPMI - To address issues with newer firmware"
-
- This adds a new option to power manage machines, that are oriented at
- addressing changes in upstream hardware firmware's (that have broken
- compatibility with older versions). Causes no behavior changes for MAAS
- as it continues to do the same.
-
- Regression potential: None. MAAS will continue to behave the same way it
- did before in new installs and upgrades, and this change only takes
- effect by a user driven action.
-
- Bug 1758760 "[enhancement] Support Lenovo’s new password policy (Lenovo
- SR550)"
-
- Fixes the password generation process for IPMI discovery to consider new
- password policies that are being added to newer hardware or firmware
- versions.
-
- Regression potential: None. MAAS will continue to behave the same way it
- did before in new installs and upgrades, by testing the old password
- policy. If it doesn't work it will use the new password policy.
+ Enhancements
+ ------------
LP: #1779712 [enhancement] maas-proxy port should be configurable
Adds the ability to change the proxy port for the proxy that MAAS uses. If
users upgrade, the configuration rendered will continue to use the default
port. This will only take effect for users who change the port.
Regression potential: None. MAAS will continue to behave the same way it
did before in new installs and upgrades, by using the default port. This
change only takes effect by a user driven action.
LP: #1778710 [2.3] Allow telling MAAS image import to not use proxy.
Allow's users to tell MAAS to import images without using the configured
proxy, in cases that MAAS is directly connected to the internet but machines
are not.
Regression potential: None. MAAS will continue to behave the same way it
did before in new installs and upgrades, this would only take effect by
a user driven action.
- Bug fixes that change existing behaviour
- ------------------------
+ Resource Pools UI - MAAS 2.4.1 adds API & UI for resource pools. Al
- Bug 1739761 [adds support to deploy Precise on MAAS 2.3]
- Re-adds the ability to deploy precise, which was dropped on MAAS 2.3
initially.
+ Regression potential: Minimal. This is minimal because it doesn't affect
+ the current operation provided that everything already released in 2.4.0
+ already included the resource pools feature. This only adds the missing
+ API endpoints and UI that's already been released in 2.5.
- Bug 1730751 "LACP rate fast by default"
- Changes the default LACP rate to fast, which addresses issues in that our IS
department was facing. Note that this only changes how often the control
packets are set and it is recommended/preferred to be set to fast, and the use
of slow is discouraged.
-
- Bug 1767137 "Default install is now importing bionic by default instead of
xenial"
- This is an issue that MAAS automatically started selection Bionic for
commissioning instead of Xenial as it was intended. This ensure that Xenial is
selected by default. Note that in case of upgrades, if Bionic is already
selected, MAAS won't change this to Xenial. It will *only* affect to new
installs.
[Test Case]
MAAS Testing
------------
MAAS testing has been done in various cases, partially documented
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MAASUpdates. This include:
1. Manual Fresh installation of MAAS
2. Manual upgrade from the previous Ubuntu Release.
3. Automated (CI) testing of MAAS install and operation as per the MAAS' CI.
4. Automated (CI) testing of MAAS install and operation against other
Canonical's product (juju, Canonical OpenStack & Kubernetes) provided by the
Canonical Solutions QA Team.
5. Manual split region/rack test are performed. This is to ensure that if we
upgrade a MAAS Region to a newer version, the MAAS rack of the older version
remains connected and operational.
All of this includes verifying normal operation, issues fixed, and
ensuring that Canonical Cloud solutions can inter-operate.
Solutions QA
------------
MAAS releases are also now vetted by the Solutions QA team. The test they run
ensure there are no regression for their use cases. This release has been
accepted / vetted by them.
[Regression Potential]
Minimal (For MAAS itself).
MAAS is fully backwards compatible and handles upgrades from previous
releases which result in the continuous operation of MAAS. Users will continue
to use this new version of MAAS as they used it before.
Minimal (for deployments).
LP: #1730751 is fixed in this release, which changes the default LACP rate to
fast. This doesn't provide any regression for MAAS itself, machines deployed
with bonds will have the LACP rate to fast, which will yield discovery of
errors much faster.
Since this is a point release, this has been tested thoroughly to
confirm that no regressions have been introduced.
