Changes:
- Web page to Node mapping (contentGathering package) - enabled a mapping file to identify specific endpoints without credentials; seeded with a few storage targets and a couple hardware management cards.
- Enabled protocol connections to named endpoints on job level; previously this was enabled through OS Parameter settings. This allows shell protocols to use names/DNS instead of IPs for the connection attempt. Needed for PowerShell since named lookups is used by the default security model.
- Strip version details from scripts. This is being tracked on the source versioning side now, so no need to keep reasons for changes that date back to the start of 2017.
Release validated on the following versioned platform dependencies, at time of release:
- Postgres 14.1
- Python 3.9.9 (note we used the 3.9 version released Nov 15 2021 since the kafka-confluent client wasn’t yet ported for Python 3.10.1, to use the Dec 5 2021 release. pymi [for WMI discovery] has a library build issue on 3.9.9 so the WMI jobs were excluded from the test cycle; pymi line was commented out of the conf/requirements.txt file for build)
- Kafka 2.12-2.3.0 (note the latest Kafka 2.13 [2.13-3.0.0] has an issue creating logs on Windows, Jira ticket KAFKA-13391, so the test cycle used 2.12)
- Java tested with Kafka: both Oracle Java 1.8.0_151 and the latest OpenJDK at time of testing (17.0.1.12-hotspot)
