Aviatrix CoPilot Image Release Notes

Aviatrix CoPilot is delivered via one image that should be maintained with the latest version for managing security and support for the product. You can launch the Aviatrix CoPilot image instance in the AWS Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, or Oracle Cloud marketplaces.

After a base image is launched from a marketplace, the CoPilot instance automatically updates to the latest software version upon startup.

Appliance Version 3.2.0 for CoPilot Software Version 4.12

This new image rebuilds the CoPilot v3 appliance for AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI with the latest security patches and system packages.

The Elasticsearch version is upgraded to start with 8.12.0, which is unaffected by the previous CVE-2023-31419 Elasticsearch 8.9.1 / 7.17.13 Security Update.

The OpenSSH version is upgraded to start with 8.9p1-3ubuntu0.10, which is unaffected by the previous CVE-2024-6387 "RegreSSHion" vulnerability.

Automatic software upgrades of existing CoPilot deployments include resolutions for CVE-2023-31419 and CVE-2024-6387.

Migrating to the Latest CoPilot Image

If you have an existing CoPilot and want to upgrade to the latest version of a CoPilot base image, you must first launch a new CoPilot based on the latest image, and then migrate data from the old CoPilot to the new CoPilot.

To determine which appliance version you are running, click the Aviatrix icon in the upper right of the CoPilot menu bar. You will see the software and appliance versions you are currently running.

(AWS Cloud) If your existing CoPilot is an Appliance Version 2 image and you want to upgrade to an Appliance Version 3 image, you can perform the image migration using a backup and restore method. This image migration method is supported for AWS cloud between two simple CoPilot deployments running Appliance Version 2 and 3 images. For further details, see Migrate CoPilot to Appliance V3 (AWS).

For information about migrating CoPilot data from an old image to a new image, see Migrating CoPilot Data.

The image introduces Disk (Volume) Support and Auto-Scaling Memory Support.

Disk (Volume) Support

With Appliance Version 2 and Version 3 CoPilot base images, you can allocate data disks (volumes) to your Aviatrix CoPilot deployment to be used for expandable storage. During instance creation in the marketplace, you can attach a data disk (data volume) to be used for CoPilot storage. When you deploy the instance, the initial setup process will automatically detect the disk/volume you attached during instance creation and format and attach your disks (a logical disk/volume is created from all physical disks). As your storage needs increase later (after deploying), you can also add more disks (volumes) as needed. See CoPilot Disk (Volume) Management for more information.

Auto-Scaling Memory Support

Appliance Version 2 and Version 3 CoPilot base images support automatic memory sizing for the ETL and datastore based on the physical memory of the instance at boot. New base images will default to these automatic settings, but existing deployments will keep their current configuration unless updated. Memory settings are located under CoPilot > Settings > Configuration > Options.
