Fixes
Issue Number | Issue Description |
---|---|
DS-11452 | If you are using a custom registry with a self-signed certificate to sync PDS charts and platform-agents charts, you might have encountered an error in the bootstrapper logs when attempting to add a target cluster. The error indicated a failure to verify the TLS certificate due to a bug in the code that failed to trust the registry certificate, even when configured correctly. User Impact: This issue would have prevented you from successfully adding target clusters when using a custom registry, causing failed deployments and blocking your setup process. Resolution: The code has been fixed to correctly trust the registry certificate, resolving the issue. |

PWX-38801 | Issue: When PDS deployments are created or running on a Kubernetes cluster with Portworx Enterprise and Portworx Security enabled, disabling Portworx Security can cause data service deployments and storage pools to become unresponsive. User Impact: You will not be able to disable Porworx Security on Portworx Enterprise in a cluster with active PDS deployments, as it will lead to issues with responsiveness. Workaround: To manage Portworx Security changes on a Portworx Enterprise cluster with PDS deployments, you can create new backup locations, backup schedules, or cloud credentials. Then, restore the deployments to different clusters with the appropriate Portworx Security settings. This approach ensures the continuity of your PDS deployments on clusters where Portworx Security has been disabled. |
Release 24.07.01
July 24, 2024
In this release PDS is integrated as a vital component of the broader Portworx platform. PDS is transitioned from a standalone product to an integral part of the Portworx ecosystem. This integration brings enhanced capabilities, streamlined management, and improved user experience across the platform.
As part of the Portworx platform, the PDS version 24.07.01 offers unified access to data services and storage solutions, allowing for more cohesive and efficient management of your data infrastructure.

Key changes from the PDS version 123
User interface update
The user interface has undergone a significant update, transitioning from a dark theme to a light theme. This change aims to enhance readability and provide a more visually appealing experience for users.
Introduction of Projects
A new feature called Projects has been introduced to help you organize and manage your resources more effectively. Projects allow you to group related resources, such as data services, templates, and backup locations, into a single entity. This helps streamline resource management, improves accessibility, and enables more granular control over permissions and access within the platform. With Projects, you can easily monitor and manage the resources associated with specific initiatives or teams, ensuring better organization and efficiency.
Deprecation of ZooKeeper data service
The ZooKeeper data service has been deprecated in this release. Users who rely on ZooKeeper are encouraged to migrate their workloads to alternative services supported by the PDS platform. This change is part of our ongoing efforts to streamline the platform and focus on supporting a more robust and widely-used set of data services.
Refactored APIs
The APIs have been refactored to improve performance, security, and usability. This refactoring includes changes to the structure and behavior of existing APIs, as well as the introduction of new endpoints to support upcoming features. The updated APIs provide a more consistent and efficient interface for integrating with the PDS platform, making it easier for developers to build and maintain applications that leverage our data services. Detailed documentation on the new and updated APIs is available to help users transition smoothly.
