The following major enhancements have been introduced in Red Hat Update Infrastructure 4.9.

Auto update packages on CDS: With this update when a CDS is reinstalled, by default, a dnf update will be executed on the CDS host, resulting in RHEL RPMs being updated on the CDS server.
Nginx Update: With this update the version of nginx has been updated on the RHUA and CDS hosts.
The number of versions preserved can now be customized: Previously all repository versions were retained as newer versions were added taking up disk space and, in the worst case, the inability to delete a repository. Starting in RHUI version 4.7 only the latest five versions were preserved. With this update the new sub-command rhui-manager repo set_retain_versions has been added. This will allow users the ability to limit the number of versions on the repos that were originally created with no limit.
Pulp Database migration to PostgreSQL v.15: With this version the user has the ability to optionally migrate the database used by Pulp to PostgreSQL v.15. This can be done with the new rhui-installer flag --postgresql-version. For example: rhui-installer --rerun --postgresql-version 15
No longer used, orphan data, can now be cleaned up: Previously RPM packages, repodata files, and other related files were kept on the disk even if they were no longer part of a repository. With this update the new sub-command rhui-manager repo orphan_cleanup has been added that can be used to clean up some of this no longer used orphaned data.

The following bugs have been fixed in Red Hat Update Infrastructure 4.9 that have a significant impact on users.

Avoid synchyronizations hanging if a network outage happens: In the past if a network outage happened during a pulp synchronization of a repository the synchronization could hang indefinitely. With this update a network timeout will be leveraged in the underlying code to prevent this condition.
