March 2024

In accordance with the previous announcement regarding Container registry migration to Amazon ECR, we expect to complete the migration by the end of March 2024. Kindly ensure connectivity to ECR by allowing the URL, "*dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com" in your application firewalls and proxies.

December 2023

Container registry migration from Docker Hub to Amazon ECR

HDS container registry that hosts images will be changed from Docker Hub to Amazon ECR. This migration is scheduled to take place in February 2024. We kindly request customers to ensure connectivity to ECR by allowing the URL, "*.amazonaws.com" in their application firewalls and proxies. This step is necessary to prevent any potential issues during upgrades.

October 2023

We've updated the minimum required Postgres database version to PostgreSQL version 14, 15, or 16. HDS will no longer support PostgreSQL versions 10 and 11, see Database server requirements in the Hybrid Data Security deployment guide.

December 2022

We've started hosting the HDS Setup Tool images in a different dockerhub repository. We previously used ciscosparkhds and we are now using ciscocitg.

If you are creating or updating a configuration ISO for your HDS nodes, you should get the images from the ciscocitg dockerhub repo.

See Create a configuration ISO for the HDS hosts and Change the node configuration in the Hybrid Data Security deployment guide.

November 2022

We've enabled HDS nodes to use Windows authentication when connecting to your Microsoft SQL Server database. This improves the security and resiliency of your HDS implementation.

The Hybrid Data Security deployment guide describes how to implement this in your environment.

June 2022

You can now define a DB Cleanup Job Exclusion Window in the Advanced settings. The default Exclusion Window is from 1:00–4:59 AM (localtime) on Sunday.
