  • Added IPv6 Check When Validating Security Group Rules
  • Fix project’s cloud zone memory limit not working with vSphere flavors
  • Deploying 190 machines in single deployment or 100+70 machines deployed in 2 parallel deployment - IPAddressAllocationTaskService very slow, high memory consumption leading to provisioning-service pod restarts
  • Disable AzureComputeProvisionWithBootAndAdditionalDiskWithNoConstraintsIT
  • Disable AzureWordpressProvisionNetworkIT, same as the master
  • Load Balancer From Kubernetes On Azure Causes Data Collection Failures
  • Disable symphony usage in pre/postflights
  • IP addresses remain outside the IP range, after down-sizing the range
  • Network [Automation_overlay_tz] doesn’t have an available block of IP addresses that is big enough to allocate a /24 subnet
  • Bump Azure network rest API version to support security rule multiport
  • Request tracker for deployment shows a blank screen
  • Cherry-pick fix to vra-medley-rel branch
  • Successful deployment with network shows spinning (in progress) on the infrastructure -> requests page is post-deployment event fails
  • Fix for bug Incorrect AWS requester tag for the deployed instances
  • Allow IP range for security group firewall rules
  • Azure - Missing machine error for deployed machines
  • ComputeViewServiceTest.testSearchComputesByProjectName is unstable
  • Fix testValidateEndpoint_certificate failure
  • Exclude log4j-slf4j-impl from vrops dependencies
• vRealize Orchestrator (vRO)
  • VRO service fails to start because password of the root user within the container has expired.
  • Scheduling vro workflows is failing. Made the input form not refresh every time when schedule ngForm’s validity is changed.
  • vRO workflow run logs are not visible in web client
  • Update the merge plugins script in upgrade rpm job to handle snapshot plugin versions
  • Loading workflow slow for user given permission through Administration > Groups authenticated with PSC
  • Assign an imported workflow to the current user’s authorization context
  • Adding a tags variable to a configuration causes the web client to behave unexpectedly - Renamed the ’tags’ property of the catalog objects to ‘@tags’. This way configurations that have a variable with name ’tags’ won’t try to override the system tags.
  • “Resume workflow run” fails to resume in embedded 3 node vro cluster - Workflow was failing with a NPE when “Resume from failed” was enabled and one of the nodes was restarted.
