We've got some good news. On Monday, 16 May 2022, we will upgrade our Object Store production environment. This will add a highly-requested feature: an up-to-date, S3-compatible, API!
What's changing? We will be upgrading our OpenStack Swift software from version 1.13 (release Icehouse, 2014-04-17) to version 2.29.1 (release Yoga, 2022-03-30). Some notable changes are:
- Improved S3 API compatibility on middleware: v4 signatures are now supported in addition to the (weaker) v2 implementation. - Support for symlink objects: symlinks are objects stored in Swift that contain a reference to a target object. - Added functionality to generate RFC 7232-compliant ETag header values for objects. These can be enabled manually on accounts or containers. - Object versioning: objects uploaded to a container will automatically be versioned when this function is turned on. - Added support for inline data segments in SLO manifests: during the update process, this process might cause some temporary communication issues between updated and to-be-updated proxy servers. - TempURL updates: ISO 8601 timestamps, prefix-based validation and support for SHA-256 and SHA-512 based signatures. For the full list of changes, please read the Swift Changelog here: https://opendev.org/openstack/swift/src/branch/stable/yoga/CHANGELOG
What does this mean for you? We understand you'd like to test ahead of the upgrade on Monday, 16 May 2022. Especially when the Object Store environment is an integral part of your application(s). Thankfully, you are able to test the upgraded proxies ahead of time.
To do so, add the following line to your hosts file (found under /etc/hosts on Linux) on the clients or servers that connect to the Object Store environment:
31.3.100.125 $tenant_id.objectstore.eu
Make sure your testing is completed before our scheduled maintenance starts, as well as to remove the above line from your hosts files before we carry out the upgrade.
No interruptions The Object Store has redundancy, making it possible for us to do maintenance without direct impact on your applications. We’ll install the new software on our proxy servers on Monday, 16 May 2022, between 09:00 and 11:00. The rest of the day will be spent updating the backend servers to the latest software version.
The updated S3 API and most other middleware will immediately be fully functional. However, the symlink feature is dependent on the updates to our backend servers and will not be available until later that day.
Even though you should not notice any interruptions, know that we will be monitoring the process closely to make sure everything keeps running smoothly. Should you have any questions about the entire process, please contact our engineers at support@cloudvps.com.
Kind regards, CloudVPS Operations
