Written by Ververica | 21 June 2024

The Ververica Platform 2.13.1 release is here! We're excited to share the latest changes with you.

Full details can be found in the 2.13.1 release notes.

Ververica Platform 2.13.1 supports Apache Flink® 1.19, Apache Flink 1.18, and Apache Flink 1.17 under SLA.

New Feature

JSON Schema for YAML Configuration Validation

We’re excited to introduce JSON Schema for pre-validating YAML files in CR Deployments and Kubernetes Operator configurations. This enhancement ensures YAML configurations are reliable and correct by enforcing proper structure, required fields, data types, and value constraints.

Benefit from:

  • Proper structure, required fields, data types, and value constraints.
  • Updated documentation for easy CI/CD pipeline integration.

Improvements

Error Logging for Custom Resource Deployments

We’ve addressed our generic error messaging to provide detailed information for the user. Get detailed descriptions of incorrect parameters and highlight specific discrepancies between the provided and expected values. This allows for comprehensive tracking and easier troubleshooting.

Audit Logs - Getting Down to Details

Audit logs are now even more descriptive! Get insights into detailed information on activity changes, notably when states change.

Bug Fixes

Fixing bugs is an integral part of our release cycle! The following bugs have been exterminated:

  • Azure Blob Storage EndpointSuffix: Resolved issue with respecting specified values.
  • Connector Messaging: Improved clarity when fetching connectors from JAR/URL.
  • Flink Job Restoration: Early failure for non-existent snapshot restores.
  • Deployment State Transitions: Fixed issue with deployments stuck in TRANSITIONING state.

Vulnerability Fixes (outside of Apache Flink)

And as always, we are stamping out vulnerabilities to ensure your deployments remain secure. To get a full list of the resolved vulnerabilities, check out the 2.13.1 release notes.
