An update that has six fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This update for cloud-regionsrv-client contains the following fixes:

  • Update to version 9.1.2: (bsc#1174791, bsc#1174937)
  • Implement changes to configure the client to use https only for outbound traffic
  • plugin-ec2 to version 1.0.1 (bsc#1174743, bsc#1174837)

  • Prefer IMDSv2 and switch all IMDS access requests to support v2 token based access method.

  • Update to version 9.1.1: (bsc#1174731, bsc#1174732)

  • Do not immediately failover to a sibling system. Upon contact failure to the target system give the server/route time to recover. We have seen network instability trigger a pre-mature failover during initial registration causing problems later during updates.
  • When we do failover make sure the access credentials are known to the new target
