- If you encounter issues pulling images from your airgap environment, you can now generate a new catalog image and push it to your registry. For more information, see create a new catalog image.
- Support to install additional packages in Liberty
- A new flag
--LIBERTY_ADDONS
is added to install additional packages for WebSphere Application Server Liberty. Use this flag to install add-ons when you run thegenerateImages.sh
script. For more information, rungenerateImages.sh --help
or see Advanced image build options.
- New configuration to define Horizontal Pod Autoscalers (HPAs)
- Use this feature to define a list of Horizontal Pod Autoscalers (HPAs) to automatically manage the number of pods in the deployment. It is available for OMServer, Order Hub, Order Service, and Call Center in both integrated and independent modes. For more information, see Configuring horizontalPodAutoscalers parameter.
- Ability to toggle between automatic and manual management of specifications through annotation
- Use the newly introduced annotation named
apps.oms.ibm.com/auto-managed
to automatically scale the deployments with the custom resources. For more information, see Annotations used in IBM Sterling Order Management System Software Operator.
- Support to enable Kafka based logging
- A new annotation
apps.oms.ibm.com/enable-kafka-logging
