1.3. Developer Preview features
1.3.1. CoreDNS integration for on-prem DNS
Connectivity Link provides integration with CoreDNS for on-prem DNS as a Developer Preview feature. For more details, see the Kuadrant documentation on using CoreDNS.
Developer Preview features are not supported by Red Hat in any way and are not functionally complete or production-ready. Do not use Developer Preview features for production or business-critical workloads. Developer Preview features provide early access to functionality in advance of possible inclusion in a Red Hat product offering. Customers can use these features to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.
Developer Preview features might not have any documentation, are subject to change or removal at any time, and have received limited testing. Red Hat might provide ways to submit feedback on Developer Preview features without an associated SLA. For more information, see Red Hat Developer Preview - Scope of Support.
Red Hat customers can provide feedback on Developer Preview features through your account teams. You can also ask questions and provide feedback directly by using the Connectivity Link contact form or by emailing rhcl-contactus@redhat.com.
1.4. Removed features
The following features have been removed from Connectivity Link 1.1:
1.4.1. API controller 1.0 Developer Preview
API controller 1.0 Developer Preview was based on the Apicurio community project and included the following components:
- API designer based on Apicurio Studio
- API catalog based on Apicurio Registry
For more information, see Getting Started with API controller 1.0 Developer Preview.
1.5. Upgrading from Connectivity Link 1.0 to 1.1
You can upgrade from Connectivity Link 1.0.x to Connectivity Link 1.1.x by using the OperatorHub in the OpenShift web console.
On OpenShift 4.19 or later, if you are updating your cluster from a previous OpenShift version that contains Gateway API CRDs, you must ensure that these resources exactly match the Gateway API version supported by OpenShift 4.19. For more details, see the OpenShift documentation on managing Gateway API resources.
1.5.1. Upgrading to Connectivity Link 1.1 in the web console
Prerequisites
- You already have Connectivity Link 1.0.x installed on OpenShift 4.17 or later.
Procedure
- Click Operators > Installed Operators > Red Hat Connectivity Link.
-
Ensure that the Update channel is set to
stable. -
If Update approval is set to Automatic, the upgrade will be approved and installed immediately when the Update channel is set to
stable. - If Update approval is set to Manual, click Install.
- Wait until the Connectivity Link Operator is deployed.
- Verify that Connectivity Link 1.1 is installed and that your deployment is up and running.
After upgrade
For RateLimitPolicy or AuthPolicy only, if you patched your subscription as a workaround for CONNLINK-299, enter the following command to ensure that your environment is set correctly:
oc patch subscription rhcl-operator -n openshift-operators --type=merge --patch '{"spec": {"config": {"env": null}}}'oc patch subscription rhcl-operator -n openshift-operators --type=merge --patch '{"spec": {"config": {"env": null}}}'Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow

- For more information on Operators, see Updating installed Operators.
1.6. Fixed issues
| Issue | Description |
|---|---|
| OpenShift Service Mesh pull secret configuration is cumbersome.
Previously, for RateLimitPolicy or AuthPolicy only, you were required to authenticate to | |
| OpenShift 4.19 Gateway API compatibility. Previously, on OpenShift 4.19, Connectivity Link used an incorrect Gateway API controller name. The Gateway API controller name is required in order to enable the Gateway API CRDs, which are now provided in OpenShift 4.19. Now, Connectivity Link uses the correct Gateway API controller name for OpenShift 4.19. |
| Issue | Description |
|---|---|
| Namespace selector on Policies view switches user from sub-navigation item. Previously, in the Policies view, in a specific policy list such as DNS policies, when you switched namespace, you returned to the All Policies view. Now, when you switch namespace, you stay in the original specific policy list. |
1.7. Known issues
The following known issues apply in Connectivity Link 1.1:
CONNLINK-287 - Connectivity Link allows configuration for non-standard response codes
Connectivity Link should not allow configuration that specifies non-standard custom HTTP response codes such as HTTP 333.
