Ceph-CSI v3.16.3 Release

Important

Updated Ceph Base Image with AES256 Key Support

The v3.16.3 ceph-csi image includes an updated Ceph base image (v20.2.4) that provides AES256 key format support. This resolves authentication issues when connecting to Ceph clusters using the newer AES256k key format (#6493).

Kernel Requirements: AES256 key support requires Linux kernel 7.0 or later (backported to CentOS Stream 9 and 10). For more details, see the Ceph v20.2.4 release announcement.

Warning

• Migration: Ceph-CSI v3.16+ officially recommends using Ceph-CSI-Operator as the supported deployment mechanism. Refer to Migration.md for more details.
