Abstract

This document provides information about the latest features and known issues in Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite - software supply chain 1.8.

Preface

The release notes for Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite - software supply chain summarize new features and enhancements, notable technical changes, features in Technology Preview, bug fixes, known issues, and other related advisories or information.

Chapter 1. About this release

Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite - software supply chain 1.8 is now generally available. RHADS - SSC was previously known as Red Hat Trusted Application Pipeline. Starting with version 1.6, it became part of a new Red Hat offering Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite.

To learn more about support for all versions, refer to the RHADS - SSC life cycle policy.

To upgrade RHADS - SSC, you must upgrade each product in its stack separately. The Trusted Software Supply Chain (TSSC) installation program is not a manager: it generates your first deployment of RHADS - SSC but it does not support upgrades.

Note

The products that the TSSC installation program deploys are sized for a proof of concept or a very small team. For larger teams, manual reconfiguration of the products is most likely necessary and should be done by following procedures documented for each individual product.

Chapter 2. New features and enhancements

Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite - software supply chain 1.8 adds the following new features and improvements of some existing features.

2.1. Installation program improvements

This release improves the installation program functionality in several ways:

Dependency order
The installation program includes improved functionality for installing dependencies in the proper order.
Helm chart installation order
The installation program includes improved functionality for installing charts in the right order based on metadata describing dependencies instead of hard-coding.
Installation program version
This release introduces the tssc --version command. You can use this command to track the exact version (build) of the installation program.
Red Hat Developer Hub (RHDH) authentication
In this release, the installation program integrates RHDH to use Open Identity Connect (OIDC) instead of GitHub.

2.2. TSSC MCP server

This enhancement introduces a new agentic interface that transforms the trusted software supply chain (tssc) CLI into a first-class model context protocol (MCP) server. This enhancement enables large language model (LLM)-driven workflows for platform engineering, allowing AI agents to orchestrate automated, self-service installations, configurations, and diagnostics on OpenShift clusters. By leveraging MCP, the server provides structured tools and guidance to LLMs, promoting efficient, stateful interactions while integrating with Kubernetes-native mechanisms for scalability and maintainability.

This architecture draws on Mixture of Experts (MoE) principles in LLMs, where specialized "experts" handle distinct tasks via a router guided by system prompts, enabling efficient scaling without proportional computational resource utilization. This means the MCP server acts as a workflow orchestrator, managing installation states and tool calls to ensure idempotent, low-frequency operations, which is ideal for initial Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite setups.

2.3. Template improvements

In this release, for customized pipelines in GitLab the following changes apply:

Path changes
The template path changed from /work/rhtap to /work/tssc.
Image location changes
The image location changed from registry.access.redhat.com/rhtap-task-runner/rhtap-task-runner-rhel9:1.8 to quay.io/redhat-tssc/task-runner:1.8.

Chapter 3. Compatibility and support matrix

RHADS - SSC installs on OpenShift Container Platform. During installation, the TSSC installer automatically deploys several products, which are available through the OCP subscriptions. RHADS - SSC relies on these products, and they integrate seamlessly with RHADS - SSC and its software templates. However, note that these products are not included with RHADS - SSC.

3.2. Red Hat Developer Hub plugins

RHADS - SSC enables a selection of RHDH dynamic plugins to support creation and monitoring of trusted software supply chain applications. Some of the plugins enabled by RHADS - SSC are fully supported, however some are Technology Preview plugins that might not be functionally complete.

Regardless of the plugins' level of support, the RHADS - SSC software templates use the features of Red Hat Trusted Artifact Signer, Red Hat Trusted Profile Analyzer, and Conforma to produce secure pipelines.

Chapter 4. Fixed issues

Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite - software supply chain 1.8 provides the following bug fixes and resolved issues:

Support authentication to multiple services
In Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite - software supply chain 1.7, the installation program set the authProvider with the information for a single service, which prevented authentication to a Git service when using OIDC. In this release, the installation program now correctly configures the Developer Hub authProvider value to all required services.
GitHub details were missing for Jenkins pipeline runs
Previously, after a Jenkins pipeline run for a component was complete, the Projects/Run view in the CI tab might display empty fields for Message, Author, and GitHub, even though the GitHub Commit ID was correctly displayed. With this release, the issue is fixed.
RHDH did not display the Image Registry tab if RHADS - SSC could not detect your registry type
Previously, the Red Hat Developer Hub UI did not display the Image Registry tab on the component’s page if RHADS - SSC was unable to detect which container image registry you were using. With this release, the issue is fixed.
RHDH did not display the Image Check tab if you used GitLab CI
If you used GitLab CI as a CI provider, the CI page in the RHDH UI might not have displayed the Image Check tab and the component’s container image URL. With this release, the issue is fixed.

Chapter 5. Known issues

Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite - software supply chain 1.8 is affected by the following newly identified and previously known issues. If you encounter an issue that is not listed in this section, report it.

Bitbucket AppPasswords
In this version, Bitbucket Cloud has transitioned to API tokens, and has deprecated AppPasswords. We expect to support it again in the 1.9 release.
The Multi Source Security Viewer (MSSV) plugin does not work with RBAC enabled
There is no permission in the role-based access control (RBAC) configuration for the MSSV plugin. As a result, the MSSV plugin will not work when you enable RBAC.
Broken links in MSSV
The links for Artifactory, Nexus, and SBOMs are incorrect in the MSSV user interface.
Argo CD doesn’t display the commit name
In Red Hat Developer Hub, when you select a project from the catalog and view the CD tab, the commit name does not display in the Deployment Lifecycle cards.
RHDH cannot push content to the GitOps repository on GitHub
When you create an application, RHADS - SSC automatically creates a GitOps repository on GitHub. However, in some cases, RHDH fails to push content into this repository. As a result, a pipeline for this application fails with an error. To work around, restart the application creation process.
The CI tab displays GitLab CI information for Tekton and Jenkins
When you host source code for your component in GitLab and choose Tekton or Jenkins as a CI provider, the CI tab in the RHDH UI might incorrectly display information about GitLab pipelines together with the Tekton or Jenkins pipelines. Note that if you choose Tekton or Jenkins, RHADS - SSC only runs Tekton or Jenkins pipelines, and the CI tab section about GitLab pipelines should be ignored.
RHADS - SSC doesn’t support some environments
RHADS - SSC 1.8 does not support the following environments: any air-gapped environment, IBM Power Platform, IBM Z Platform, ARM64, and Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) mode for OpenShift Container Platform.
Uninstallation of RHADS - SSC is not supported
Uninstallation of RHADS - SSC is not currently supported, but it can be done by removing all tssc namespaces from the cluster.
