Dear Customer,
we will be updating the a9s platform.
Notable changes:
Upcoming
a9s Redis Deprecation Notice
The a9s Redis Data Service is now deprecated. This follows the announcement in anynines deployment v67. Were we informed via release notes and asked to migrate you existing Service Instances to the supported a9s KeyValue Data Service.
The deprecation phase is planned to last until anynines deployment v73.0.0 (expected end of May), after which the unsupported phase of the deprecated Data Service will start.
We advise you to organize the migration of existing Redis Data Service.
End of Support for a9s PostgreSQL 13
For the upcoming anynines deployment release v73.0.0 (expected end of May 2026), It is planned to end support for the following deprecated a9s Data Service version:
a9s PostgreSQL 13: PostgreSQL 13 (end-of-life by their vendor since November 2020)
We are not going to provide regular support for these versions anymore after v73.0.0 (expected end of May 2026). This does not mean that we will reject support requests or break running Service Instances after the update of anynines-deployment, but we won't be able to provide any new features, bug fixes, or security updates for these versions.
We advise you to organize the migration of existing Service Instances to more up-to-date versions of the same a9s Data Services.
The update procedure is structured into 3 stages:
Stage 1: Update of the Runtime
Stage 2: Update of the a9s Data Service Framework
Stage 3: Update of all existing a9s Data Service instances
The stages have the following impact:
Stage 1:
- Restart of all applications. For slow starting applications with a single instance configuration this might introduce a downtime of up to 5 minutes in addition to application startup time.
- Restart of the API. Single requests to the API might fail but subsequent requests shall pass.
Stage 2:
- Creation, update and deletion of new or existing a9s Data Services instances will be unavailable for up to 5 minutes.
- The availability of existing a9s Data Service instances will not be affected by this.
Stage 3:
- All a9s Data Service instances will be restarted which causes single instances to be not available for up to 5 minutes.
- You may see your app reconnecting to the master node while the service instance gets updated.
We'll provide an update as soon as we finish the respective stage.
Best regards,
The anynines Team
