New containers and changes to system requirements
In the 2021.6.0 release:
A new container, blackduck-webui, will be added for improved Black Duck performance, better caching, and future scalability.
The Rapid Scanning feature will be available to all Black Duck customers. This feature requires a new container, currently called blackduck-kb, which will manage connections to the Black Duck KnowledgeBase and cache KnowledgeBase results for short intervals.
The following will be the minimum hardware that will be needed to run a single instance of all containers. Note that memory requirements depend on the number of concurrent Rapid Scans you want to support.
7 CPUs
28.5 GB RAM for the minimum Redis configuration; 31.5 GB RAM for an optimal configuration providing higher availability for Redis-driven caching. This will support up to 100 concurrent Rapid Scans.
30 GB RAM for the minimum Redis configuration; 33 GB RAM for an optimal configuration providing higher availability for Redis-driven caching. This will support more than 150 Rapid Scans, however, the maximum number of supported Rapid Scans is still being determined.
250 GB of free disk space for the database and other Black Duck containers
Commensurate space for database backups
The following is the minimum hardware that is needed to run Black Duck with Black Duck Binary Analysis.
8 CPUs
32.5 GB RAM for the minimum Redis configuration; 35.5 GB RAM for an optimal configuration providing higher availability for Redis-driven caching. This will support up to 100 concurrent Rapid Scans.
34 GB RAM for the minimum Redis configuration; 37 GB RAM for an optimal configuration providing higher availability for Redis-driven caching. This will support more than 150 Rapid Scans, however, the maximum number of supported Rapid Scans is still being determined.
350 GB of free disk space for the database and other Black Duck containers
Commensurate space for database backups
Retention period for unmapped code locations
(HUB-28195, 28355)In the Black Duck 2021.6.0 release, the default retention period for unmapped code locations will be changing from 365 days to 30 days.
Deprecated APIs
(HUB-28404)The following endpoint has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release:
GET /api/scan/{scanId}/bom-entries
The following endpoint will be deprecated as of April 30, 2021:
GET /api/components/{componentId}/versions/{componentVersionId}/origins/{originId}/direct-dependencies
New job implementation in 2021.6.0 release
HUB-28554In the Black Duck version 2021.6.0, the jobs subsystem is being replaced with a new implementation, which will cause the following job Rest API calls not to function.
GET /jobs/{jobID}This call gets the job details for a specific job by ID. As of the Black Duck 2021.6.0 release, this call will return a 404 Not Found status code.
The following calls are out-of-service since Black Duck version 2020.2.0, returning a 404 Not Found status code, and will remain non-functional in Black Duck version 2021.6.0.
PUT /jobs/{jobID}This call reschedules a job.
DELETE /jobs/{jobID}This call terminates a job.
The functionality will be replaced with a new Job Rest API implementation which will be available in a future release.
