Information about compatiblity between Jammy stemcell and CrowdStrike Falcon for VMWare Tanzu 1.1.0

Products

• Operations Manager

Issue/Introduction

When installing CrowdStrike Falcon for VMWare Tanzu 1.1.0, this product can be deployed on the Stemcell Xenial only in ops manager UI. 

Cause

After reviewing the files inside crowdstrike-falcon-cf-1.1.0.pivotal, we can see it is compatible with Xenial only. However, Xenial reaches end of support in April 2024, which brings severe challenges related to compatibility and deployment on expired product.

os: ubuntu-xenial requires_cpi: false version: '621'

 

Resolution

There is no "Resource Config" tab under this tile. In other words, CrowdStrike Falcon for VMWare Tanzu 1.1.0 is not required to be deployed in Xenial stemcell.

Since this tile is only an add-on at the moment, all the Ubuntu versions supported are listed in the add-on's inclusion rules which will deploy the add-on to all the deployments that meet the inclusion rule criteria. So it is safe to pick up the Xenial stemcell in ops manager web UI and then deploy this add-on in Jammy stemcell.
