Tanzu Supply Chains Known Issues

This topic lists known issues for Tanzu Supply Chains.

Caution

Tanzu Supply Chain is currently in beta and is not intended for production use. It is intended only for evaluation purposes for the next generation Supply Chain. For the current Supply Chain solution, see the Supply Chain Choreographer documentation.

Workload Creation

• The Beta version of the Tanzu Supply Chains only supports creating Workloads in the same namespace where the SupplyChain is installed. This will be fixed in the future versions before Tanzu Supply Chains becomes GA and SupplyChain will be installed inprotected namespace(s) in the cluster based on Platform Engineer preferences. Developers will be able to create Workloads in any namespace as long as they have permissions to do so in that namespace.

Workload Visibility

• Tekton failures in Tasks are not propagated properly in the status of the WorkloadRuns and thereby not visible in the tanzu workload run get outputs.
• Errors in the Component pipelines and exposed as a message is not properly propagated in the status of the WorkloadRun and thereby not visible in the tanzu workload run get outputs.

Component Authoring

• Components cannot have more than one resumption defined. When there are multiple resumptions, the WorkloadRuns are not being correctly created upon changes triggered by these resumptions. The current workaround is to assess all triggers in a single resumption.

Security

• The Tekton Pipelines and Tasks are currently running in the Developer namespace where the Workload is. In future release, SupplyChain namespaces will run these resources for the Component unless its specifically chosen by the component author to run in the Developer namespace. There are use cases for components such as source-git-provider where a Developer can provide a secret to pull the source for their repository without the Platform Engineer being the bottleneck.

Kubernetes Distribution Support

• The Beta release of Tanzu Supply Chains does not include support for Openshift. However, this support is planned to be integrated into upcoming versions. Presently, attempting to individually install components for Tanzu Supply Chains and Managed Resource Controller, as well as installing the Authoring profile that comes with those components out of the box, results in failure due to the absence of this support.
