How to identify the Java version used in Aria Automation or Aria Automation Orchestrator

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

It may be required to identify the Java version used by Aria Automation or Aria Automation Orchestrator for example to determine if the deployed Application is impacted by a vulnerability with Java. 

Environment

• Aria Automation 8.x
• Aria Automation Orchestrator 8.x

Resolution

Since Aria Automation and Aria Automation Orchestrator is deployed as a containerized Application it may be required to review different services.

1. To review the appliance please connect to one of the nodes via SSH session.
2. Please run this command to get a full list of deployed services: 

   kubectl -n prelude get deploy

3. To review the java version use the service name to update the below command, e.g.
   For provisioning service:

   kubectl -n prelude exec deploy/provisioning-service-app -- java --version

   Since the Orchestrator deployment uses multiple container you also need to define the container vco-server-app: 

   kubectl -n prelude exec deploy/vco-app -c vco-server-app -- java --version
