2.3 What’s New or Changed in CIS (OES 24.2)

2.3.1 Google Cloud Storage Support

Google Cloud Storage (GCS) offers world-wide storage and retrieval of any amount of data. GCS combines the performance and scalability of Google's cloud with advanced security and sharing capabilities.

CIS now supports GCS as a new account type in addition to Azure, AWS S3, and S3 compatible object store. For more information, see Accounts.

2.3.2 CIS Container Orchestration with K3s

You can now configure infrastructure services using K3s cluster.

  • Fresh Installation – Only K3s is supported. For more information, see Configuring Infrastructure Services on OES 24.2.

  • Existing Docker Swarm Configuration – Docker Swarm will continue to work if it is already configured and running after applying the OES 24.2 patch.

NOTE:As the support to Docker Swarm will discontinue in OES 24.4, OpenText recommends moving to K3s. For more information, see Section 5.2.7, Updating to K3s Cluster.
