Enhancements¶
This section outlines new features and enhancements introduced in the Cluster release 5.12.0.
Ceph maintenance label¶
Implemented the maintenance
label to set for Ceph during a managed
cluster update. This prevents Ceph rebalance leading to data loss
during a managed cluster update.

RGW check box in Container Cloud web UI¶
Implemented the Enable Object Storage checkbox in the Container Cloud web UI to allow enabling a single-instance RGW Object Storage when creating a Ceph cluster as described in Add a Ceph cluster.
Ceph RGW HA¶

Cerebro support for StackLight¶
Enhanced StackLight by adding support for Cerebro, a web UI that visualizes health of Elasticsearch clusters and allows for convenient debugging. Cerebro is disabled by default.
StackLight proxy¶
Added proxy support for Alertmanager, Metric collector, Salesforce notifier and reporter, and Telemeter client. Now, these StackLight components automatically use the same proxy that is configured for Container Cloud clusters.
Note
Proxy handles only the HTTP and HTTPS traffic. Therefore, for clusters with limited or no Internet access, it is not possible to set up Alertmanager email notifications, which use SMTP, when proxy is used.
Note
Due to a limitation, StackLight fails to integrate with an external
proxy with authentication handled by a proxy server. In such cases, the
proxy server ignores the HTTP Authorization
header for basic
authentication passed by Prometheus Alertmanager. Therefore, use proxies
without authentication or with authentication handled by a reverse proxy.
