This release will only be available through manual upgrades. Clusters set to automatic upgrades will not receive this release. For how to configure upgrades, please see or documentation. The following packages and versions are part of this release: | Service | Platform | Version | ||-|| |Service Fabric Runtime| Ubuntu 18 <br> Ubuntu 20 <br> Windows | 9.0.1148.1 <br> 9.0.1148.1 <br> 9.0.1155.9590 | |Service Fabric for Windows Server|Service Fabric Standalone Installer Package | 9.0.1155.9590 | |.NET SDK |Windows .NET SDK <br> Microsoft.ServiceFabric <br> Reliable Services and Reliable Actors <br> ASP.NET Core Service Fabric integration| 6.0.1155 <br> 9.0.1155 <br> 6.0.1155 <br> 6.0.1155 | |Java SDK |Java for Linux SDK | 1.0.6 | |Service Fabric PowerShell and CLI | AzureRM PowerShell Module <br> SFCTL | 0.3.15 <br> 11.0.1 | Starting this release (Service Fabric 9.0 Cumulative Update 5.0), the Service Fabric runtime will include a configuration setting that prevents access from Docker containers(deployed as Service Fabric applications) to WireServer endpoint. The setting, "Setup/BlockAccessToWireServer", is supported for Service Fabric clusters deployed on Azure VMs, Windows, and Linux, and defaults to 'false' (access is permitted). Please note that enabling this setting might break containerized services that rely on access to WireServer - which is uncommon. | Versions | IssueType | Description | Resolution | |-|-|-|-| | Windows - 9.0.1155.9590<br>Ubuntu 18 - 9.0.1148.1<br>Ubuntu 20 - 9.0.1148.1 | Bug | Backup Restore Service (BRS) | Brief Description: OnDatalossAsync fails for NetCore applications due to System.MissingMethodException: Method is not found: 'Void System.Fabric.Common.Tracing.FabricEvents.BRSInfoPartitionEvent. This results in the Service partition getting stuck in reconfiguring in the case of data loss or QuorumLoss.<br>Fix: Rebuild SF application using SF SDK version 6.0.1107.9590 and upgrade/redeploy applications or Rollback cluster to 9.0.1028.9590 till we have a CU with fix for this regression | Windows - 9.0.1155.9590<br>Ubuntu 18 - 9.0.1148.1<br>Ubuntu 20 - 9.0.1148.1 | Bug | Backup Restore Service (BRS) | Brief Description: If the Service Fabric cluster has existing backup policies and is upgraded to 8.2.1686.9590 / 9.0.1107.9590 / 9.1.1387.9590, BRS will fail to deserialize old metadata and will stop taking backup and restore on the partition/service/app in question, even though cluster and BRS remain healthy.<br>Fix: The breaking change introduced in 8.2.1686.9590 / 9.0.1107.9590 / 9.1.1387.9590 is fixed in this release | Windows - 9.0.1155.9590<br>Ubuntu 18 - 9.0.1148.1<br>Ubuntu 20 -

| Bug | Cluster Resource Manager (CRM) | Brief Description: When the Node properties were removed or updated, the changes are not sent correctly to Failover Manager Master (FMM) resulting in the bad placement of services in the cluster. <br> Fix: Support for dynamic Node capacities and Node properties was removed to resolve the issue. | Windows - 9.0.1155.9590<br>Ubuntu 18 - 9.0.1148.1<br>Ubuntu 20 - 9.0.1148.1 | Bug | Key Value Store (KVS) | Brief Description: When the KVS version store reaches its maximum allotted memory due to long-running or especially large uncommitted transactions it would throw a StoreTransactionTooLarge error, which didn't provide accurate information. A new error of "VersionStoreOutOfMemory" was added to provide appropriate information "Version store has exceeded its available memory. This is likely caused by a long-running transaction preventing cleanup, or by a large read/write data load. Version Store Size can be configured with LocalEseStoreSettings.MaxVerPages" to provide accurate information. Service Fabric ASP.NET Core packages built against ASP.NET Core 1.0 binaries are out of support. Starting Service Fabric 8.2, we will be building Service Fabric ASP.NET Core packages for .NET Core 3.1, .NET Core 5.0, .NET Core 6.0, .NET Framework 4.6.1. As a result, they can be used only to build services targeting .NET Core 3.1, .NET Core 5.0, .NET Core 6.0, >=.NET Framework 4.6.1 respectively. For .NET Core 3.1, .NET Core 5.0, .NET Core 6.0, Service Fabric ASP.NET Core will be taking dependency on Microsoft.AspNetCore.App shared framework; whereas, for NetFx target frameworks >=.NET Framework 4.6.1, Service Fabric ASP.NET Core will be taking dependency on ASP.NET Core 2.1 packages. The package Microsoft.ServiceFabric.AspNetCore.WebListener will no longer be shipped, Microsoft.ServiceFabric.AspNetCore.HttpSys package should be used instead. .NET 5.0 runtime has reached end-of-life on May 8, 2022. Service Fabric releases after this date will drop support for Service Fabric applications running with .NET 5.0 runtime. Current applications running on .NET 5.0 runtime will continue to work, but requests for investigations or requests for changes will no longer be entertained. Please migrate to using .NET 6.0 version instead. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS reached its 5-year end-of-life window on April 30, 2021. Service Fabric runtime has dropped support for 16.04 LTS, and we recommend moving your clusters and applications to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or 20.04 LTS. Current applications running on it will continue to work, but requests to investigate issues w.r.t this OS or requests for change will no longer be entertained. Service Fabric runtime has also dropped producing builds for U16.04 so customers will no longer be able to get SF related

Service Fabric runtime will soon stop supporting BinaryFormatter based remoting exception serialization by default and move to using Data Contract Serialization (DCS) based remoting exception serialization by default. Current applications using it will continue to work as-is, but Service Fabric strongly recommends moving to using Data Contract Serialization (DCS) based remoting exception instead. Service Fabric runtime will soon be archiving and removing Service Fabric runtime version 6.4 packages and older, as well as SDK version 3.3 packages and older from the package Download Center. Archiving/Removing will affect application scaling and re-imaging of virtual machines in a Service Fabric Cluster running on unsupported versions. After older versions are removed/archived, this may cause failure while rolling back when the current in-progress upgrade has errors. Service Fabric clusters using plain text credentials in the backup policy will have a persistent health warning on Backup Restore Service (BRS) to notify users to make use of the token-based backup storage type. Azure Storage Connection String for the backup storage type is in process of deprecation. From SF 10.0 release (Apr 2023), only token-based backup storage types will be supported The table below is an overview of the direct links to the packages associated with this release.
