Corrected Issues in Aviatrix Release 8.1.50
| Issue | Description |
|---|---|
| AVX-78859 | Fixed an issue where IP rules for a Site-to-Cloud mapped connection could be erased when the gateway started up. |
| AVX-79855 | Fixed an issue where disabling Distributed Cloud Firewall (DCF) on a transit gateway with Site-to-Cloud (S2C) or other external connections could leave existing DCF filtering rules in effect on the interface when no policy change was queued at the time, allowing traffic to continue to be filtered by DCF after DCF was disabled. |
| AVX-79860 | Fixed an issue where new gateway deployment or software/image upgrade for an existing gateway could fail if a container responsible for gateway-to-Controller secure communication did not start within the default 15-minute initialization window. |
| AVX-79866 | Fixed an issue where NAT rules could fail to install on gateways with legacy tunnel peerings that predated recent tunnel-peering enhancements. |
| AVX-79905 | Fixed an issue where Automatic Controller Access Security Group Management enforcement could unintentionally disable Security Group Management when a transient error occurred during an enforcement check. When Security Group Management became disabled, all gateways experienced keep-alive failures and new gateways could not come up. |
| AVX-80983 | Fixed an issue where Azure Security Group Management could unexpectedly delete and recreate a security group rule during gateway launch when an Azure API throttling response on a rule-existence check was misinterpreted as the rule not existing. |
Known Issues in Aviatrix Release 8.1.50
| Issue | Description |
|---|---|
| AVX-72940 | Creating a new gateway with the same name as an existing gateway may cause local files of the existing gateway to be deleted when the creation fails. The existing gateway name disappears from the Controller CLI once this occurs. This can break SSH access to the existing gateway. Impact:
Gateway creation using a name that already exists. Workaround: Do not reuse gateway names. Contact Aviatrix Support if recovery is required. |
| AVX-73436 | When using the update_spoke_vpc_route_table API to onboard an Azure route table, the default route (0.0.0.0/0) is not programmed in the spoke VNET route table if the Spoke Gateway has learned the default route from any of the following sources: an attached Egress Transit Gateway (Transit with egress functionality enabled), a Transit Gateway that learned the default route via an external Site-to-Cloud (S2C) connection (for example, from an on-premises network or third-party appliance advertising 0.0.0.0/0 over IPSec/BGP), or another Spoke Gateway that is propagating the default route within the Aviatrix network. In all of the above cases, although the Spoke Gateway has successfully learned and installed the default route in its own routing table, the route is not re-programmed into the associated Azure VNET route table during the onboarding operation. Impact: Default route (0.0.0.0/0) is not installed in the onboarded Azure spoke VNET route table. Traffic that depends on the default route, including traffic destined for the internet through an egress transit, for on-premises networks through an S2C-connected transit, or for another spoke, may not be routed correctly from the Azure VNET. Workaround: Manually add the default route to the Azure route table. Contact Aviatrix Support for assistance. |
| AVX-75452 | In Azure environments, when Distributed Cloud Firewall (DCF) Security Group Orchestration attaches a Network Security Group (NSG) to a subnet, the subnet name is changed to all lowercase. Although Azure resource names are generally case-insensitive, this modification causes issues with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform, which treat resource names as case-sensitive. Terraform may flag affected subnets for replacement, potentially disrupting existing deployments. Impact: Subnet names in Azure are modified to lowercase when Security Group Orchestration attaches NSGs Terraform plans may show unexpected resource replacements for affected subnets Customer naming conventions in the cloud may be altered without consent Workaround: In Terraform, add a lifecycle block with ignore_changes for subnet_id (as well as id in the azurerm_subnet resource) to prevent forced resource replacement. Note that this workaround does not restore the original subnet name casing. |
| AVX-75607 | Gateway launch may fail with a tls: bad certificate error when pulling container images. The Controller’s registry TTL eviction (garbage collection) may fire while images are being downloaded to the gateway, corrupting in-flight blob transfers. The gateway’s container initialization cannot complete, and an internal identity-helper service on the gateway exits with code 125.Impact:
Restart the Controller’s core application service to reset the registry state, then retry gateway creation. Contact Aviatrix Support for assistance. |
| AVX-79057 | Auto-restart of a failed Aviatrix gateway deployed in GCP (GCE) may not succeed, leaving the gateway in a down state until manual intervention. Impact: A failed Aviatrix gateway deployed in GCP (GCE) will not be automatically recovered. Traffic through the affected gateway remains disrupted until an operator manually restarts the gateway. Workaround: Manually restart the failed GCE gateway from the Controller, or contact Aviatrix Support for assistance. |
| AVX-79521 | On Controller versions prior to 10.1.0, it is possible to onboard multiple Aviatrix access accounts that map to the same underlying cloud service provider (CSP) account. Because several Controller features assume a one-to-one relationship between an Aviatrix access account and a CSP account, duplicate access accounts can lead to unpredictable configuration and operational behavior. Duplicate is defined per CSP as follows:
Impact:
Onboard only one Aviatrix access account per underlying CSP account. If duplicate access accounts have already been onboarded and are causing issues, contact Aviatrix Support for assistance with identifying and removing the duplicates. |
| AVX-80977 | A VPN user’s profile assignment could appear as N/A immediately after the user was attached to a profile through the API, until the user’s next reconnection. Impact: The user’s profile displays as N/A until the user’s next reconnection, even though the profile attachment succeeded. This can cause confusion when auditing or verifying profile-based access policies shortly after attachment. Workaround: Have the affected user reconnect to update the displayed profile assignment. Contact Aviatrix Support for assistance. |
| AVX-81230 | Enabling both Policy-Based Routing (PBR) and NAT logging under User VPN settings can cause high CPU utilization on the User VPN gateway during data-plane traffic. The high CPU usage occurs because NAT log entries generated by PBR are written to the gateway’s serial console. Impact: User VPN gateways with both PBR and NAT logging enabled may experience elevated CPU utilization while passing data-plane traffic, which can degrade VPN gateway performance. Workaround: Disable NAT logging on the affected User VPN gateway. If NAT logging must remain enabled, contact Aviatrix Support to apply a backend workaround. |
| AVX-81576 | During a Gateway resize operation (for example, changing the Gateway’s underlying instance or VM size), the Gateway can experience a temporary period of traffic loss during the resize. This has been observed during testing on GCP, AWS, and Azure Gateways, where a resize between certain instance sizes produced approximately 2 minutes of packet loss. Impact: A Gateway resize can result in a brief traffic interruption, observed at approximately 2 minutes in testing. This has been confirmed to occur on GCP, AWS, and Azure Gateways. Workaround: No workaround is currently available. A fix is planned for a future 10.1.x maintenance release. |
| AVX-83174 | When a Controller running 8.0.x upgrades directly to 8.1.50, only spoke gateways connected to a transit gateway with Connected Transit enabled and configured with custom advertised VPC/VNet CIDRs are affected. On an affected spoke, routes to its own CIDRs can be sent back to it through that transit, and because these self-referencing routes can take priority over the spoke’s local routes, traffic to the affected CIDRs loops between the spoke and the transit. Impact:
If 8.1.60 or later is available, upgrade directly to it instead of 8.1.50, since it includes the fix for this issue. If you must upgrade to 8.1.50 before 8.1.60 is available, and any spoke gateway uses custom advertised VPC/VNet CIDRs with Connected Transit enabled, contact Aviatrix Support before upgrading to review your upgrade plan. If you have already upgraded and suspect you are affected, contact Aviatrix Support for assistance with the recovery procedure. |
