Orka 3.4.1 Release Notes

This hotfix addresses a critical issue that may cause ARM nodes to become non-operational under certain workloads. This problem is caused by a bug wherein:

  • Orka does not delete VMs in certain cases, leading to VMs running out of space
  • This leaves impacted VMs in a stopped state
  • VMs are then unreachable

This causes Orka to crash, which could lead to VMs not being cleaned up.

Who is affected:

All customers running workloads that rapidly deploy multiple VMs may be affected. This includes any environment with medium-high utilization of ARM-based nodes.

Impact:

When this issue occurs:

  • Nodes may run out of space
  • VMs may not be assigned a valid MAC address and will be inaccessible

Customer downtime:

This is a zero-downtime operation and has no effect on already running VMs.

Next steps:

We recommend that all customers using Orka 3.3.0 and above apply this hotfix immediately, especially those that are operating medium or large-load ARM-based infrastructure, or high-volume VM deployments.
