cf/238

You can find the source of this version on GitHub at cloudfoundry/cf-release. It was created based on the commit 67fa6abf.

Release Notes

The cf-release v238 was released on June 27, 2016.

IMPORTANT - Known issue: The WebDAV blobstore and Cloud Controller API / Clock / Worker jobs are unable to start after a VM restart because creation of the run directory for each process, /var/vcap/data/sys/run/*, was moved to the bosh pre-start script. The jobs are unable to start because /var/vcap/data/sys/run is mounted on a temporary file-system and the bosh pre-start script is not executed on VM restart, only deployment. A fix is in the pipeline for CF-240. To workaround this issue, operators can do a bosh deploy, which will recognize the failing jobs and properly create the run directory. - v238 includes a fix for CVE-2016-4468, UAA SQL Injection. The mitigation is to upgrade to cf-release v238 - Cloud Controller and other components of capi-release now use bosh pre-start job-lifecycle scripts for many startup tasks including database migrations. This capability requires bosh-release v206+ (1.3072.0) and requires releases deployed with 3125+ stemcells.

Internal Components

consul

  • consul-release was bumped from v80 to v92. Significant changes:
    • Fixes a bug in confab, the wrapper program for orchestrating the start of the consul binary. The previous behaviour was that if confab is started a second time, it will kill the previously running consul process, leaving nothing running. The new correct behaviour is for confab to fail if consul is already running, but not kill consul. details
    • Bump consul binary from version 0.5.2 to 0.6.4, and consul-template binary from version 0.9.0 to 0.14.0. details
    • Long-running processes in the consul_agent job now run as vcap rather than root. details

etcd and etcd-metrics-server

  • etcd-release was bumped from v48 to v57. Significant changes:
    • Long-running processes in the etcd job now run as vcap rather than root. details
    • Long-running processes in the etcd_metrics_server job now run as vcap rather than root. details
    • etcd_metrics_server job supports talking to etcd via mutual TLS. details
    • Add etcd-proxy job in service of zero-downtime upgrades from a non-TLS etcd cluster to a TLS etcd cluster. The zero-downtime upgrade work is currently a work in progress. details

postgres

No changes.

nats and nats_stream_forwarder

  • nats-release was bumped from 01ee06a4cab572a87417a25a886ad933bfa183a0 to 219e93bdb8a8e9fc0734fb0640b8b8d6edc14c3f. Significant changes:
    • Long-running processes in the nats job now run as vcap rather than root. details
    • Long-running processes in the nats_stream_forwarder job now run as vcap rather than root. details

Job Spec Changes

  • Add property cc.minimum_candidate_stagers, the number of candidate DEAs for staging, with default of 5.
  • Add property hm9000.port for configuring how Cloud Controller communicates with DEAs, with no default. This is used to generate hm9000.internal_url in the Cloud Controller configuration. If not using DEAs / HM9000, this port is unused, but required.
  • Add properties cc.resource_pool.webdav_config.blobstore_timeout, cc.packages.webdav_config.blobstore_timeout, cc.droplets.webdav_config.blobstore_timeout, cc.buildpacks.webdav_config.blobstore_timeout, each with defaults of 5 seconds.
  • Add property blobstore.nginx_workers_per_core with default of 2. This is used when configuring blobstore instances serving WebDAV.
  • Add fog_aws_storage_options to blobstore configuration properties. These each accept a hash, with the only valid key being encryption. Set fog_aws_storage_options to {'encryption' => 'AES256'} in order to encrypt files at rest in S3.
    • cc.resource_pool.fog_aws_storage_options
    • cc.packages.fog_aws_storage_options
    • cc.droplets.fog_aws_storage_options

    • Removed metron_endpoint.port
    • Removed metron_endpoint.dropsonde_port
    • Removed dropsonde.enabled
