8.0.2-6

This maintenance release of Redis Enterprise for Kubernetes supports Redis Software 8.0.2-41 and includes enhancements, API changes, and bug fixes.

**Custom modules not supported**: If you use custom (user-defined) modules, skip this release. Custom module support will be available in the next release.

Enhancements

• Support for Redis Enterprise Software version 8.0.2-41
• Added API fields to configure internode encryption (RED-174881)

Resolved issues

• Fixed upgrade issues with large clusters (RED-176468)

API changes

CRD	Field	Change	Description
REC	spec.dpInternodeEncryptionCertificateSecretName	Add	Secret name to use for cluster's Data Plane Internode Encryption (DPINE) certificate. If left blank, a cluster-provided certificate will be used.
REC	spec.cpInternodeEncryptionCertificateSecretName	Add	Secret name to use for cluster's Control Plane Internode Encryption (CPINE) certificate. If left blank, a cluster-provided certificate will be used.

Version changes

Modules in Redis 8

In Redis Enterprise databases created with or upgraded to Redis version 8 or later, bundled modules are enabled automatically, so you don't need to specify them in the spec.moduleList field. However, if you want to use a specific version of a bundled module, you can specify it in the spec.moduleList field.

The bundled capabilities (modules) are automatically enabled as follows:

Database type	Automatically enabled capabilities
RAM-only	Search and query JSON Time series Probabilistic
Flash-enabled (Redis Flex)	JSON Probabilistic
Active-Active	Search and query JSON

For more information, see Automatically enabled capabilities in Redis 8.

Breaking changes

• Custom modules are not supported with this version. Only the capabilities (modules) listed above are supported in this release. If you use user-defined modules, don't upgrade to this version. The Redis Enterprise version used with this operator version includes significant changes to modules, including using built-in modules by default on databases. For more details, see the Redis Software release notes.

• TKG (TKG) is no longer supported. Broadcom/VMware doesn't plan to support this platform in the near future. We recommend that you migrate to TKGI/VKS.

For additional breaking changes related to Redis Software 8.0.2-17, see Redis 8 breaking changes.

Deprecations

• The RedisEnterpriseCluster (REC) v1alpha1 API version is deprecated.

Supported distributions

The following table shows supported distributions at the time of this release. You can also find this list in Supported Kubernetes distributions.

✅ Supported – This distribution is supported for this version of Redis Enterprise Software for Kubernetes.

• Callhome client: redislabs/re-call-home-client:8.0.2-6
• OLM operator bundle : 8.0.2-6.1

Known limitations

• Only upgrades from 7.4.2-2 and later are supported. If you are using an earlier version, install 7.4.2-2 before upgrading to 8.0.2-6.

• You must keep existing moduleList version numbers when upgrading redisVersion. When upgrading a database's redisVersion, you must keep the existing module version numbers in moduleList unchanged. If you modify the module versions in moduleList during a redisVersion upgrade, the upgrade request will fail. The database will automatically use the bundled module versions for the new Redis version, regardless of what versions are specified in moduleList. This applies to both REDB and REAADB databases.

• Missing endpoint for admission endpoint (rare) (RED-119469) Restart the operator pod.

• The REDB "redisVersion" field can't be used for memcached databases (RED-119152)

• Database suffix changes during service-rigger termination cause resource recreation loops (RED-107687) If you modify the database suffix for an Active-Active database while the service-rigger is in a terminating state, the service-rigger will continuously delete and recreate ingress or route resources. Wait until the services rigger pod has finished terminating before making suffix changes.

• REAADB changes might fail with "gateway timeout" errors, mostly on OpenShift (RED-103048) Retry the operation.

• Creating two databases with the same name directly on Redis Enterprise software will cause the service to be deleted and the database will not be available (RED-99997) Avoid duplicating database names. Database creation via K8s has validation in place to prevent this.

• Installing the operator bundle produces warning: Warning: would violate PodSecurity "restricted: v1.24" (RED-97381) Ignore the warning. This issue is documented as benign on official Red Hat documentation.

• RERC resources must have a unique name (RED-96302) The string "rec-name"/"rec-namespace" must be different from all other participating clusters in the Active-Active database.

• Admission is not blocking REAADB with shardCount which exceeds license quota (RED-96301) Fix the problems with the REAADB and reapply.

• Active-Active controller only supports global database options. Configuration specific to location is not supported (RED-86490)

• Active-Active setup removal might keep services or routes undeleted (RED-77752) Delete services or routes manually if you encounter this problem.
