AutoFS Downgrade
AutoFS is a file system tool to automate directories mounting operations and to achieve the “as-needed” approach. With this directory mounting method, shared folders are mounted only upon access and automatically unmounted after a period of inactivity. The main focus of the implementation is better network efficiency compared to static mounts.
However, some performance issues were detected with the latest AutoFS versions. As a result, it was forcibly downgraded to the stable AutoFS 5.1.6 version for all containers on the platform. The platform will restore regular updates to the newest release as soon as the problem is resolved.
Fixes Compatible with Prior Versions
Below, you can find the fixes that were implemented in the CloudMyDC Application Platform 8.3 release and also integrated into previous platform versions by means of the appropriate patches.
Software Stack Versions
The software stack provisioning process is independent of the platform release, which allows new software solutions to be delivered as soon as they are ready. However, due to the necessity to adapt and test new stack versions, there is a small delay between software release by its respective upstream maintainer and integration into CloudMyDC Application Platform.
The most accurate and up-to-date list of the certified software stack versions can be found on the dedicated documentation page.
