Release details
Hybrid Manager (HM) platform
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Enhancement | Added support for custom Kubernetes Service annotations on Kafka load balancers, including the Transporter's Kafka services. When using custom-only load balancer mode, you can now specify annotations such as metallb.universe.tf/address-pool for MetalLB address pool selection or networking.gke.io/internal-load-balancer-subnet for GCP Shared VPC internal load balancer subnet configuration, as well as node-pool classes, enabling BYO-network and on-premises deployment scenarios. |
| Platform support | Certified HM 2026.5.1 for deployment using the Red Hat OpenShift (RHOS) operator. |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue whereby WAL archiving to Azure Blob Storage returned HTTP 403 errors on AKS, EKS, and GKE clusters. The system now correctly handles backup credentials for Azure Storage. |
AI Factory
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Enhancement | Restricted Langflow access to users with the AI Model Manager role. Users without this role can no longer access Langflow, providing tighter control over AI workflow authoring. |
| Enhancement | Added automatic retry for transient LLM errors in AI workflows, improving reliability when inference providers return temporary failures. |
| Enhancement | You can now search AI models and services by tag name in the HM console. |
| Change | Moved the Langflow flow cache to ephemeral storage. The cache no longer persists across pod restarts and is rebuilt automatically on startup. |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue whereby soft-deleted AI model services reappeared in the HM console. |
HM console
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Enhancement | Extended HM chatbot agent support to all external inference providers, including Gemini 2.x models. |
| Enhancement | You can now filter clusters by cluster or group ID in the HM console. |
| Enhancement | Added a searchable model-service picker in the HM console. |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue whereby marketplace package synchronization failed on installations using an in-cluster registry. Packages now sync correctly when using an in-cluster registry. |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue whereby cluster creation with an unsupported or empty storage class would hang indefinitely. The operation now fails immediately with an informative error. |
Observability and monitoring
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Change | Updated the default alert evaluation interval to 2 minutes. |
| Bug fix | Fixed an incorrect calculation of the top database size metric in the observability dashboard. |
Migrations
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Enhancement | Hardened the Migration Portal API with a deny-by-default security model. Unregistered endpoints now return HTTP 403, and the API now performs tenant-ownership checks to prevent unauthorized cross-tenant access. |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue whereby schemas with special characters or mixed-case names failed to migrate correctly through the Migration Portal. |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue whereby Oracle-to-EDB Postgres Advanced Server (EPAS) schema migrations failed to complete correctly. |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue whereby phantom or duplicate schemas appeared in Migration Portal projects. |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue whereby Migration Portal projects whose first schema was empty failed to complete. |
