In our upcoming release 30.05.24, we'll address this issue by implementing a fix that will ensure all newly provisioned VMs use UTC for their patching windows. In addition, any changes made to patching windows will automatically apply the correct UTC timezone.

  • Impact:
    • if customer uses Swisscom Portal: no "Uplink Topology" parameter input is displayed anymore when a Catalog Item is selected.
    • if customer uses Rest call APIs: the "Uplink Topology" input parameter, if specified, will be simply ignored by the target. So, no urgent API Calls adjustment is needed.
  • The process is currently ongoing. When all tenants will be modified, a new communication will be given. Do not hesitate to contact Swisscom, to know if a specific tenant has been already migrated or not. The official documentation will be updated once all tenants will be migrated.

• IPAM Migration for File Services and Kubernetes

  In release v121, we announced that Managed Oracle Database Services (MODS High End, MODS regular) were being integrated into the IP address management (IPAM) solution of the Enterprise Service Cloud.

  In this release (v124), the blueprints of the following services are also being covered with the IPAM integration including integration/migration of all existing instances to allow smooth transition:

  • Enterprise Kubernetes
  • File Service Premium

  For existing service instances, we are going to migrate the currently used IP ranges into the IPAM management. This migration will be done by Swisscom. In case of any issues (e.g. overlapping IP ranges) the Swisscom support team will contact you to resolve the appearing conflict.

• IPAM - New Blueprint:

  Under Catalog you will find the new blueprint in the Network Services category.

  • Show Service Network Usage: It is now possible to display which IP addresses are currently unassigned and can be used for new deployments. This functionality is mainly relevant for customers working with static IP address assignments. Please note: Affiliation of IP addresses to IP aggregates need to be considered.

• For IPAM and Kubernetes:

  • New Dynamic Mask Handling based on selected aggregate: When selecting an aggregate, the options for network size (in the dropdown mask) will be calculated automatically and shown using a new mechanism called dynamic mask handling.

• For the MODS Regular Service:

  • New Security Shape configuration option for PDBs via Create/Edit PDB: Security shapes revoke a set of package permissions (e.g. UTL_SMTP, UTL_TCP, etc.) from PUBLIC schema in Oracle that can be an issue from a security point of view.
