| VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension 2.1.1.1 | 23 JUN 2022 | Build 19993560 Check for additions and updates to these release notes. |
This release of VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension includes bug fixes and the following new features:
Starting with VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension 2.1.1.1, cloud providers can retrieve usage reports for their organizations. Using API calls, cloud providers can set the usage report granularity to an hourly, a daily, or a monthly basis, and also specify the start and the end date of the report. This feature is only available for the Cloudian platform.
VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension 2.1.1.1 introduces a billing functionality. Using API calls, cloud providers can retrieve billing information for a specific organization. This feature is only available for the Cloudian platform.
You can upgrade directly to VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension 2.1.1.1 from versions 2.1.1, 2.1, and 2.0. See Upgrading VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension.
Unable to add catalogs from VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension to VMware Cloud Director libraries for Cloud Director 10.3 and later
When tenant users create a new catalog and click "Add to libraries" to upload an object, the import of the object fails.
The object lock feature does not work for Cloudian 7.4 or later
You cannot use the object lock feature if you use Cloudian 7.4 or later.
Some tenant users cannot create buckets
When using the ECS platform, some tenant users cannot create buckets if their corresponding IAM user in ECS has been removed manually by the ECS administrator.
Tenant users that log in with OpenID Connect cannot make S3 API calls
When tenant users log in to VMware Cloud Director with OpenID Connect and they have been assigned a "Defer to Identity Provider" global role in VMware Cloud Director, they cannot access the S3 API by using the Access Key and Secret Key from the Security Credentials.
Tenant administrators cannot edit subordinate roles when they log in with OpenID Connect
When tenant administrators log in to VMware Cloud Director with OpenID Connect and they have been assigned a "Defer to Identity Provider" global role in VMware Cloud Director, they cannot edit subordinate roles for other tenant users.
The Access Key and Secret Key pair is not displayed immediately after a tenant user logs in to VMware Cloud Director portal when using the DELL ECS platform
When a tenant user onboards to VMware Object Storage Extension for the first time, the access key and secret key pair is not displayed immediately in the Security Credentials tab.
You cannot back up and restore Kubernetes clusters if you use Dell ECS
If the backend is configured with DELL ECS, the Kubernetes cluster protection button in the tenant portal is inactive.
The Permissions and Lifecycle tabs in the tenant portal are not displayed
Tenant users that are mapped to IAM of ECS 3.6 or later cannot view the Permissions and Lifecycle tabs in the VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extensions tenant portal.
Kubernetes clusters are not listed in VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension for Container Service Extension (CSE) 3.2 and later
When a tenant administrator tries to back up a Kubernetes cluster for CSE 3.2 or later, the tenant cannot see the Kubernetes clusters list in VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension.
S3 API requests authenticated with application credentials do not support the following use cases:
If you are using ECS storage, you cannot remove object tags.
When you try to remove an object tag, the operation fails with an error.
VMware Cloud Director and the underlying storage systems have different limitations on user names. To use VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension, user names must comply with both the requirements of VMware Cloud Director and the underlying storage system. A best practice is to use short user names (under 50 bytes) and to use alphanumeric characters.
Bucket synchronization supports up to 10 million objects per a single synchronization job
When the cloud provider enables bucket synchronization for a tenant in the provider portal, the synchronization can support up to 10 million objects for the tenant. VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension 2.1 does not support the synchronization for more than 10 million objects per a single bucket synchronization job.
If you are using ECS storage, S3 API, or the Find a Bucket feature, you cannot visit a bucket that belongs to a different tenant organization in the ECS platform.
All documentation is available on the VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension Documentation page.
Synchronization tasks of buckets with more than 60 thousand objects fail with a timeout error
When you try to sync a bucket that contains more than 60 thousand objects, the synchronization task expires after 24 hours.
Workaround: Click the Sync Now button repeatedly until the synchronization task completes successfully.
