|
||||
the :doc:`R4.0 Installation Guides </deploy_install_guides/r4_release/index>`.

|
||||
</operations/kata_container>`
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
StarlingX administrators can now deploy an optional system application
|
||||
to support using Windows Active Directory for authentication of the
|
||||
Kubernetes API.
|
||||
|
||||
Guide: :doc:`Authenticate Kubernetes Users with Windows Active Directory
|
||||
Server </configuration/k8s_auth_winactivedir>`
|
||||
|
||||
* Certificate Manager Integration
|
||||
|
||||
StarlingX now provides a Certification Manager to enable automated
|
||||
certificate issuance, monitor certificate expiration dates, and configure
|
||||
an auto-renew process.
|
||||
|
||||
Guide: :doc:`Enable secure HTTPS access and manage certificates </configuration/cert_config>`
|
||||
|
||||
* Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) in Kata Containers
|
||||
|
||||
Time-Sensitive Networking has been enabled for workloads running in Kata
|
||||
Containers.
|
||||
|
||||
Guide: :doc:`Enable TSN in Kata Containers
|
||||
</developer_resources/stx_tsn_in_kata>`
|
||||
|
||||
* Upversion OpenStack services
|
||||
|
||||
The built-in OpenStack services, including Keystone, Horizon, Barbican, and
|
||||
others, have been updated to Train. For more details, consult the
|
||||
`OpenStack documentation for Train <https://docs.openstack.org/train/>`_.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
more details, consult the `OpenStack documentation for Ussuri
|
||||
<https://docs.openstack.org/ussuri/>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
* Kubernetes support in backup and restore functionality
|
||||
|
||||
Back up and restore is now available for workloads running in
|
||||
Kubernetes pods.
|
||||
|
||||
Guide: :doc:`Backup and restore your deployment </developer_resources/backup_restore>`
|
||||
|
||||
* Kubernetes manual upgrade capability
|
||||
|
||||
StarlingX now has the capability of updating the Kubernetes images
|
||||
installed on the platform.
|
||||
|
||||
Guide: :doc:`Upgrade your Kubernetes version </configuration/k8s_upgrade>`
|
||||
|
||||
* Redfish virtual media support
|
||||
|
||||
StarlingX now supports the Redfish Virtual Media Controller to
|
||||
support a secure BMC based ISO image boot.
|
||||
|
||||
* Kernel rebase to 4.18
|
||||
|
||||
The Linux kernel used by StarlingX has been upgraded to version 4.18 as
|
||||
provided in CentOS 8.
|
||||
|
||||
* Upversion Kubernetes components
|
||||
|
||||
Kubernetes was upversioned to v1.18.1, Calico was upversioned to v3.12, and
|
||||
Helm was upversioned to v3.
|
||||
|
||||
* Layered build
|
||||
|
||||
StarlingX builds have been monolithic and time consuming. The new Layered
|
||||
build system decomposes the system into separate layers that can be built
|
||||
independently. Both Layered and Monolithic builds are supported in this
|
||||
release.
|
||||
|
||||
Guides: :doc:`Layered build reference (overview) </developer_resources/Layered_Build>`
|
||||
and :doc:`Layered build guide (step by step instructions) </developer_resources/layered_build_guide>`
|
||||
|
||||
* Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture (OPC UA) support
|
||||
|
||||
OPC UA is a data exchange standard for industrial communication in the
|
||||
Industrial IoT (IIoT) category. StarlingX now supports OPC UA.
