Upcoming changes to support for Mirantis Runtime Engine

News


Abstract

Starting on 30 April 2023, MIRANTIS© will assume support for "Mirantis Runtime Engine" (formerly Docker Engine) from Microsoft. MIRANTIS© will then directly provide all support, defect fixes, and security patches.

This change impacts the ability of IBM Planning Analytics on-premises customers to download "Mirantis Runtime Engine" (or "Mirantis Container Runtime", or MCR). "Mirantis Runtime Engine" is required to deploy Planning Analytics Workspace on Windows Server 2016 and 2019.

More details are provided by Mirantis here: 
https://www.mirantis.com/docker-engine-enterprise-support/. 
This change impacts IBM Planning Analytics on-premises customers only, where Planning Analytics Workspace is deployed on Windows Server 2016 or Windows Server 2019. 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 deployments do not require Mirantis Runtime Engine as Podman is used as the container runtime. 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 continues to support the version of Docker Engine that it packages with the RHEL7 extras package (see: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux_atomic_host/7/html-single/getting_started_with_containers/index#getting_docker_in_rhel_7).
This change does not impact Planning Analytics on Cloud customers, or Red Hat OpenShift based deployments of Planning Analytics Workspace on-premises.
Contact Mirantis if you require support for Mirantis Runtime Engine to run Planning Analytics Workspace.
