Here you can learn about new features, bug fixes, breaking changes, and known issues for the latest UCP version. You can then use the upgrade instructions, to upgrade your installation to the latest release.

Version 3.0.0 (2018-04-17)

The UCP system requirements were updated with 3.0.0. Make sure to check the system requirements before upgrading.

Orchestration

• UCP now supports Kubernetes as an orchestrator, in addition to the existing Swarmkit and "classic" Swarm orchestrators. Kubernetes system components are automatically deployed on all manager and Linux worker nodes managed by UCP. Learn more about Kubernetes support.
• Worker nodes running Linux on amd64 architectures can be configured to run only Swarm workloads, only Kubernetes workloads, or mixed workloads. Manager nodes are by default Mixed in order to support Swarm and Kubernetes system components. However, it is not recommended to run Worker nodes as Mixed due to potential resource contention issues.
• Users can deploy Kubernetes workloads through the web UI, and the CLI using a UCP client bundle and kubectl. Learn more.
• Users can now use Compose to deploy Kubernetes workloads from the web UI. Lean more.

Networking

• UCP includes Calico as the default CNI plugin for networking of Kubernetes applications. Learn more. The following Calico features are supported:
  • L3 IP-IP Overlay Data Path.
  • BGP control plane.
  • Calico IPAM.
  • Management of Calico CNI plugin lifecycle.
  • Kubernetes Network Policy. This is experimental in 3.0.0.
• You can now use layer 7 routing in your Kubernetes workloads by using an NGINX-based ingress controller. Learn more.
• Layer 7 routing for Swarmkit applications has been upgraded to use Interlock backend. This adds increased performance, stability, and new features including SSL Termination, Contextual Path-based Routing, Websocket Support, and Canary Application Instance deployments. Existing Hostname Routing Mesh (HRM) labels (and newly added labels with the old format) will automatically migrate to the new format. It is strongly recommended to use the new format for new applications in order to take advantage of the new features. Learn more.

Storage

• Support for NFS-based Kubernetes persistent volumes. Additional volume plugins will be available in future releases.

Security

• Role-based access control now supports Kubernetes resources. Lean more.
  • In addition to users, teams, organizations, and grants you can now use Kubernetes Service Accounts as a subject type. Learn more.
  • You can now create custom roles with Kubernetes API permissions. Default roles include Kubernetes API permissions based on their access type. As an example, View-Only contains Swarm and Kubernetes read-only API permissions.
  • In addition to collections, grants can now use Kubernetes Namespaces as a resource set type.
  • Admins can now link a Kubernetes namespace to a collection of nodes in order to isolate users and workloads between different nodes.
• Administrators can now enforce only running trusted images for both swarm and Kubernetes applications. Learn more
• API support for registering multiple UCP clusters to a single DTR for the purposes of signed image enforcement. Learn more.
• The Restricted Control role includes the User Impersonation Kubernetes action, which can allow a user to escalate to admin privileges if the role is granted against All Kubernetes Namespaces. For this version, we recommend that administrators do not grant the Restricted Control role against Kubernetes namespaces, and use custom roles instead. This issue does not affect any other roles in the system, or any of the grants using Restricted Control against collections.
• For increased security UCP now requires clients to use TLS version 1.2.

Known issues

• Platform support
  • Kubernetes is not yet supported for Windows based workloads. Use Swarmkit for Windows based workloads instead.
  • EE 2.0 is not yet supported in IBM Z platforms.
• CLI
  • Both Docker and kubectl CLIs report that UCP is running Kubernetes 1.8.2, when in fact it is running 1.8.9.
• Networking
  • Swarm encrypted overlay networks might not work as expected because default Kubernetes firewall rules are interfering with them. Learn more.
  • Calico networking for Kubernetes is not supported for Microsoft Azure. UCP leverages Azure networking and IPAM for control-plane and connectivity. Learn how to deploy EE 2.0 on Azure.
  • Azure IPAM will fail if nodes in the cluster are connected to different subnets. As a workaround ensure network setup avoids multiple subnets. This will be rectified in an upcoming patch release (#12894).
  • UCP Calico control-plane supports full-mesh BGP peering only at release-time. Calico control-plane may cause high CPU on nodes in clusters above 100 nodes. A route reflector based partial-mesh BGP control-plane will reduce CPU consumption when scaling past 100 nodes. Route-reflector configurations will be included in a future release.
  • In some deployments the kube-dns component won't be able to resolve external domain names. Deploy a ConfigMap to work around this.
  • If you upgrade from UCP 2.x to UCP 3.x on Azure, Kubernetes networking doesn't work. The cluster upgrade completes, and Swarm workloads work, but Kubernetes networking will be down.
• Management
  • If upgrading UCP through the UI, UCP will not check to ensure the manager node has the minimum memory required of 4 GB. Upgrading through the CLI does check for this requirement.
  • Putting a node in drain mode currently removes only Swarm workloads, and not Kubernetes workloads. This will be fixed in a future release.
  • Kubernetes base image layer uses Ubuntu 16.04 which contains some known CVE vulnerabilities. These will be removed when the base image layer is updated.
  • Running docker system prune -a directly on individual worker nodes in the cluster will potentially delete UCP system images. This behavior will not occur if the prune command is run using a UCP client bundle.
  • Compose for Kubernetes only supports v3 or higher YAML files. Any older version YAML files will silently fail without errors.
  • Linking Kubernetes namespace to a collection of nodes in order to isolate Kubernetes workloads between different nodes is not working as expected. You can use this workaround.
  • Running kubectl get cs might show some internal UCP components as unhealthy when that's not the case.
• Storage
  • UCP does not yet support dynamic volume provisioning (NFS volumes do not support this). This will change in future releases when more volume types are available.

Deprecation notice

The following functionality has been deprecated with UCP 3.0.0 and will be unavailable in the next UCP feature release.

• The web UI is going to stop supporting users to deploy stacks with basic containers. You should update your Compose files to version 3, and deploy your stack as a Swarm service or Kubernetes workload.
• The option to integrate with a remote Syslog system is going to be removed from the UCP web UI. You can configure Docker Engine for this.
• The option to configure a rescheduling policy for basic containers is deprecated. Deploy your applications as Swarm services or Kubernetes workloads.

Version 2.2.9 (2018-04-17)

Bug fixes

• Security

  • Fixed an issue that allows users to incorrectly interact with local volumes.
  • Fixed an issue where setting minimum TLS version that causes ucp-agent to keep restarting on worker nodes.

• Core

  • Fixed an issue that causes container fail to start with container ID not found during high concurrent API calls to create and start containers.

Version 2.2.7 (2018-03-26)

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where the minimum TLS version setting is not correctly handled, leading to non-default values causing ucp-controller and ucp-agent to keep restarting.

Version 2.2.6 (2018-03-19)

New features

• Security
  • Default TLS connections to TLS 1.2, and allow users to configure the minimum TLS version used by the UCP controller.
• Support and troubleshoot
  • The support dump now includes the output of dmesg.
  • Added more information to the telemetry data: kernel version, graph driver, and logging driver.
  • The dsinfo image used for support dumps is now smaller.

Bug fixes

• Core
  • The HRM service is no longer deployed with constraints that might prevent the service from ever getting scheduled.
  • Fixed a problem causing the HRM service to be restarted multiple times.
  • The ucp-agent service is now deployed without adding extra collection labels. This doesn't change the behavior of the service.
  • Fixed problem causing a healthy ucp-auth-store component to be reported as unhealthy.
  • Fixed a race condition causing the labels for the UCP controller container to be reset.
  • Fixed an issue causing the ucp-agent service to be deployed with the wrong architecture on Windows nodes.
• RBAC
  • Role-based access control can now be enforced for third-party volume plugins, fixing a known issue from UCP 2.2.5.
  • Admins can now clean up volumes and networks that had inconsistent collection labels across different nodes in the cluster. Previously, they would have had to go onto each node and clean up those resources directly.
  • When upgrading from UCP 2.1, inactive user accounts are no longer migrated to the new RBAC model.
  • Fixed an issue preventing users from seeing a collection when they have permissions to deploy services on a child collection.
  • Grants are now deleted when deleting an organization whose teams have grants.
• UI
  • Fixed a problem in the Settings page that would cause Docker to stop when you made changes to UCP settings and a new manager node is promoted to leader.
  • Fixed bug causing the Grants list page not to render after deleting an organization mentioned used on a grant.
  • Fixed a problem that would intermittently cause settings not to be persisted.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented users from being able to change LDAP settings.

Known issues

• RethinkDB can only run with up to 127 CPU cores.
• When integrating with LDAP and using multiple domain servers, if the default server configuration is not chosen, then the last server configuration is always used, regardless of which one is actually the best match.

Version 2.2.5 (16 January 2018)

Bug fixes

• Role-based access control is now enforced for volumes managed by third-party volume plugins. This is a critical security fix for customers that use third-party volume drivers and rely on Docker Universal Control Plane for tenant isolation of workloads and data. Caution is advised when applying this update because users or automated workflows may have come to rely on lack of access control enforcement when manipulating volumes created with 3rd party volume plugins.

Known issues

• UCP role-based access control is not compatible with all third-party volume plugins. If you’re using certain third-party volume plugins (such as Netapp) and are planning on upgrading UCP, you can skip 2.2.5 and wait for the upcoming 2.2.6 release, which will provide an alternative way to turn on RBAC enforcement for volumes.

Version 2.2.4 (2 November 2017)

News

• Docker Universal Control Plane now supports running managers on IBM Z on RHEL, SLES and Ubuntu. Previously, only workers were supported on IBM Z.

Bug fixes

• Core

  • ucp-etcd system images are now hidden. Previously, these system images were erroneously displayed in the images list.
  • disable_usageinfo will now disable usage metrics. A regression caused this setting to not be respected.
  • UCP now outputs "Initializing..." log messages during setup so that administrators can establish that setup or install has begun.
  • Windows worker promotion is now blocked. Previously, Windows workers could be promoted using the CLI, which would fail.
  • Loading gzipped images with the Docker CLI is now supported. This would previously cause a panic.
  • Permissions are now checked when filtering nodes by container. Previously, permissions were not considered.
  • An LDAP sync is now triggered as soon as an LDAP user is lazy-provisioned. Previously, lazy-provisioned users would not immediately be added to teams and orgs.

• UI/UX

  • License page now shows all capabilities. Previously it was not clear if a license supported Docker image scanning or not.
  • Additional translations added for internationalization.
  • UI for adding users to teams simplified.
  • The grant list can now sorted and pagination in the grants view has been improved. The grants view previously had glitches on systems with many grants.
  • Fixed problem where UI would hang when pulling images.
  • "Max failure ratio" and "Failure action" re-introduced in service definitions. These settings were not available in UCP 2.2, but were available in previous UCP versions.
  • Collection labels are no longer applied to UCP system services. UCP previously auto-applied labels, which was confusing.

Known issues

• Docker currently has limitations related to overlay networking and services using VIP-based endpoints. These limitations apply to use of the HTTP Routing Mesh (HRM). HRM users should familiarize themselves with these limitations. In particular, HRM may encounter virtual IP exhaustion (as evidenced by failed to allocate network IP for task Docker log messages). If this happens, and if the HRM service is restarted or rescheduled for any reason, HRM may fail to resume operation automatically. See the Docker EE 17.06-ee5 release notes for details.
• The Swarm admin UI for UCP versions 2.2.0 and later contain a bug. If used with Docker Engine version 17.06.2-ee5 or earlier, attempting to update "Task History Limit", "Heartbeat Period" and "Node Certificate Expiry" settings using the UI will cause the cluster to crash on next restart. Using UCP 2.2.X and Docker Engine 17.06-ee6 and later, updating these settings will fail (but not cause the cluster to crash). Users are encouraged to update to Docker Engine version 17.06.2-ee6 and later, and to use the Docker CLI (instead of the UCP UI) to update these settings. Rotating join tokens works with any combination of Docker Engine and UCP versions. Docker Engine versions 17.03 and earlier (which use UCP version 2.1 and earlier) are not affected by this problem.

Version 2.2.3 (13 September 2017)

Bug fixes

• Core
  • Node list will no longer show duplicated worker node entries.
  • Volume mount options are no longer dropped when creating volumes.
  • docker stack deploy with secrets specified in docker-compose file now works.
• UI/UX
  • Upgrade button is now greyed out and deacticated after initiating upgrade.
  • If an error is encountered while creating a service, the UI no longer freezes.
  • Upgrade notification fixed to have working link.
  • "Default Role For All Private Collections" can now be updated. Updating this role in the UI previously had no effect.
  • Added notification to UI to show that an upgrade is in progress.
  • Client bundle can now be downloaded with Safari browser.
  • Windows nodes are no longer displayed in the DTR install UI.
  • DTR settings state in UCP is now preserved when switching tabs. Previously, un-saved state was lost when switching tabs.
  • Fixed problem where first manager node may have IP address 0.0.0.0, causing dashboard to not update.
  • UI for adding Windows nodes improved to include full join instructions.
  • Node Task UI fixed. Displaying tasks for a node previously did not work.
  • LDAP settings UI improved. Sync interval setting is now validated, a never-ending update spinner been fixed and it's UI action sequencing bugs have been fixed so that it's now possible to disable LDAP.
  • Uploading Docker images in the UI now has better error messages and improved validation.
  • Containers removed in UI are now force-removed. Previously removing containers would fail.
  • DTR install instructions --ucp-url parameter fixed to have valid value.
  • Deleting multiple users in succession fixed. Previously, an error would result when deleting more than one user at a time.
  • Added validation when adding DTR URL in UCP admin settings.
  • Left-nav now shows resource counts, addressing an UI regression from UCP 2.1.

Known issues

• Upgrading heterogeneous swarms from CLI may fail because x86 images are used instead of the correct image for the worker architecture.
• Agent container log is empty even though it's running correctly.
• Rapid UI settings updates may cause unintended settings changes for logging settings and other admin settings.
• Attempting to load an (unsupported) tar.gz image results in a poor error message.
• Searching for images in the UCP images UI doesn't work.
• Removing a stack may leave orphaned volumes.
• Storage metrics are not available for Windows.
• You can't create a bridge network from the web UI. As a workaround use <node-name>/<network-name>.

version 2.2.2 (30 August 2017)

Bug fixes

• Core
  • Fixed an issue that caused timeouts during install, preventing UCP 2.2.1 from being released.
  • Fixed a number of issues in which access control labels and roles could not be upgraded to their new format, when upgrading UCP. Learn more.
  • Fixed an issue that caused an upgrade with multiple manager nodes to fail with RethinkDB startup errors.
  • Fixed an issue that caused upgrades to fail due to UCP being unable to remove and replace older UCP containers.
  • Fixed an issue in which upgrade timed out due to lack of available disk space.
  • Fixed an issue in which rescheduling of containers not belonging in services could fail due to a request for a duplicate IP address.
  • DTR containers are no longer omitted from docker ps commands.
• UI/UX
  • Fixed known issue from 2.2.0 where config changes (including LDAP/AD) take an extended period to update after making changes in the UI settings.
  • Fixed an issue where the /apidocs url redirected to the login page.
  • Fixed an issue in which the UI does not redirect to a bad URL immediately after an upgrade.
  • Config and API docs now show the correct LDAP sync cron schedule format.
• docker/ucp image
  • Support dump now contains information about access control migrations.
  • The ucp-auth-store and ucp-auth-api containers now report health checks.

Known issues

• When deploying compose files that use secrets, the secret definition must include external: true, otherwise the deployment fails with the error unable to inspect secret.

Version 2.2.0 (16 August 2017)

New features

• The role-based access control system has been overhauled for additional granularity and customization. Admins now define access control through Grants, a 1:1:1 mapping of a Subject, a Role, and a Collection:
  • Subject: A user, team, or organization.
  • Role: A set of permissions. In addition to the existing predefined roles, admins can now create custom roles with their choice of permissions taken from the full Docker API.
  • Collection: A group of containers or container-based resources (e.g. volumes, networks, secrets, etc.). Collections have a hierarchical directory-like structure and replace the old access control labels from the previous system (though they still use labels in the CLI).
  • Read the documentation for more information and examples of the new system and how your old access control settings are migrated during an upgrade.
• UCP now provides access control for nodes, where an admin can enforce physical isolation between users on different nodes in the cluster. This means two different teams can only view and deploy on the nodes to which they have access. This is only available with an EE Advanced license.
• Enhancements to the user management system:
  • UCP now supports the user concept of organizations, which are groups of teams.
  • Users can now specify a default collection which automatically applies access control labels to all CLI deploy commands when no label is specified by the user.
• Support for UCP workers running Windows Server 2016, and the ability to deploy Windows-based containerized applications on the cluster.
  • Read the documentation for instructions on how to join Windows nodes, and current limitations when deploying Windows applications.
• Support for UCP workers running on IBM Z systems with RHEL 7.3, Ubuntu 16.04, and SLES 12.
• UCP now provides a public, stable API for cluster configuration and access control, and the API is fully interactive within the UCP UI.
• Support for using services with macvlan networks and configuring network scope in UI.
• The UCP UI has been redesigned for ease-of-use and data management:
  • Redesigned dashboard with time-series historical graphs for usage metrics.
  • Compact layout to more easily view resource information at a glance.
  • Detail panels for resources no longer slide out and cover the main panel.
  • Filtering mechanism to display related items (e.g. resources in a collection or stack).

Known issues

• UI issues:
  • Cannot currently remove nodes using UCP UI. Workaround is to remove from CLI instead.
  • Search does not function correctly for images.
  • Cannot view label constraints from a collection's details pages. Workaround is to view by editing the collection.
  • Certain config changes to UCP make take several minutes to update after making changes in the UI. In particular this affects LDAP/AD configuration changes.
  • Turning LDAP Enabled from "Yes" to "No" disables the save button. Workaround is to do a page refresh which completes the configuration change.
  • Removing stacks from the UI may cause certain resources to not be deleted, including networks or volumes. Workaround is to delete the resources directly.
  • When you create a network and check 'Enable hostname based routing', the web UI doesn't apply the HRM labels to the network. As a workaround, create the network using the CLI.
  • The web UI does not currently persist changes to session timeout settings. As a workaround you can update the settings from the CLI, by adapting these instructions for the session timeout.
• docker/ucp
  • The support command does not currently produce a valid support dump. As a workaround you can download a support dumps from the web UI.
• Windows issues
  • Disk related metrics do not display for Windows worker nodes.
  • If upgrading from an existing deployment, ensure that HRM is using a non-encrypted network prior to attaching Windows services.
