Field fixes
| Ticket No. | Description | Severity |
| 29465 | Changes were made in 2.8 to allow the Backup & Restore Hub service to be installed in a customer namespace. | Major |
| 33325 | Scale Operator Pod was entering crashloopback state due to internal schedule configuration. Fix made in Scale version contained in Fusion 2.8. | Major |
| 29450 | RedHat Security requirements impose disabling weak ciphers in the SSH server on the OCP 4 cluster. https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5138901. Fusion 2.8 support OCP 4.14 which contains the update. | Normal |
| 34846 | For PVC with Retain reclaim policy, a backup jobs leaves behind a volume not bound to any PVC. Code changes were made to patch persistent volume reclaim policy from ‘Retain’ to ‘Delete’ to ensure its deletion. | Major |
| 33078 | Actual issue was Scale operator pod being scheduled on node which was scheduling disabled. | Major |
| 33851 | During Hub and Spoke upgrade, Transaction Manager and Application Controller were not updated. As a result, the upgrade process did not upgrade all of the pods. | Normal |
| 33706 | In the case where some snapshots were successful and some were not, the successful snapshots were not rolled back properly. This led to orphaned snapshots for those cases. The fix removed the successful snapshots for this scenario. | Normal |
| 24033 | Event BMYNW0455 which states "user-config secret is missing or invalid" was getting generated even in the case of the green path when everything was good which was due to a bug in the code, This has been fixed in 2.8 and this issue will no longer be seen once the cluster is updated to Fusion 2.8. | Normal |
| 35421 | Backup & Restore uses the AWS API when creating a BackupStorageLocation for AWS and other S3 storage. When the connection to the S3 is tested, the signature version wasn't explicitly set, allowing the API to choose a default. The default may not work for some S3. The change now sets the signature version to AWS Signature Version 4 for all S3. | Normal |
