  • From 07 to 31 July 2021, the DNS provider is changed from Cloudflare to Akamai for all containers.appdomain.cloud, containers.mybluemix.net, and containers.cloud.ibm.com domains for all clusters in Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud. Review the following actions that you must make to your Ingress setup.

  • • If you currently allow inbound traffic to your classic cluster from the Cloudflare source IP addresses, you must also allow inbound traffic from the Akamai source IP addresses before 07 July. After the migration completes on 31 July, you can remove the Cloudflare IP address rules.
  • • The Akamai health check does not support verification of the body of the health check response. Update any custom health check rules that you configured for Cloudflare that use verification of the body of the health check responses.
  • • Cluster subdomains that were health checked in Cloudflare are now registered in the Akamai DNS as CNAME records. These CNAME records point to an Akamai Global Traffic Management domain that health checks the subdomains. When a client runs a DNS query for a health checked subdomain, a CNAME record is returned to the client, as opposed to Cloudflare, in which an A record was returned. If your client expects an A record for a subdomain that was health checked in Cloudflare, update your logic to accept a CNAME record.
  • • During the migration, an Akamai Global Traffic Management (GTM) health check was automatically created for any subdomains that had a Cloudflare health check. If you previously created a Cloudflare health check for a subdomain, and you create an Akamai health check for the subdomain after the migration, the two Akamai health checks might conflict. Note that Akamai GTM configurations don't support nested subdomains. In these cases, you can use the ibmcloud oc nlb-dns monitor disable command to disable the Akamai health check that the migration automatically configured for your subdomain.
