NOTE: SUSE Edge z-stream releases are tightly integrated and thoroughly tested as a versioned stack. Upgrade of any individual components to a different versions to those listed above is likely to result in system downtime. While it's possible to run Edge clusters in untested configurations, it is not recommended, and it may take longer to provide resolution through the support channels.

= Release 3.3.3

Availability Date: 22nd October 2025

Full Support End Date: 20th November 2025

Maintenance Support End Date: 20th November 2026

EOL: 21st November 2026

Summary: SUSE Edge 3.3.3 is the third z-stream release in the SUSE Edge 3.3 release stream.

== New Features

* Updated to Kubernetes 1.32.9 and Rancher Prime 2.11.6 https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.11.6[Release Notes]
* Updated to SUSE Security (Neuvector) 5.4.6 https://open-docs.neuvector.com/releasenotes/5x/#546-august-2025[Release Notes]

== Bug & Security Fixes

* SUSE Security (Neuvector) 5.4.6 contains several bugfixes https://open-docs.neuvector.com/releasenotes/5x/#bugs-fixed[Upstream Neuvector Bug Fixes]
* https://github.com/rancher/rke2/releases/tag/v1.32.9%2Brke2r1[RKE2 1.32.9] contains several updates and fixes, including resolution of an issue in certain deployments related to CPU affinity https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/pull/4858[Upstream runc issue]

== Known Issues

[WARNING]
====
If deploying new clusters, please follow <<guides-kiwi-builder-images>> to build fresh images first as this is now the first step required to create clusters for both {x86-64} and {aarch64} architectures as well as management and downstream clusters.
====

* When deploying via Edge Image Builder, `HelmChartConfigs` manifests may fail if they are put in the `kubernetes/manifests` configuration directory. Instead it is reccomended to place any `HelmChartConfigs` in `/var/lib/rancher/{rke2/k3s}/server/manifests/` using the EIB os-files interface, see <<mgmt-cluster-directory-structure>> for example. Failure to do this may cause nodes to stay in `NotReady` state on initial startup, as discussed in https://github.com/rancher/rke2/issues/8357[#8357 RKE2 issue]

* On RKE2/K3s 1.31 and 1.32 versions, the directory `/etc/cni` being used to store CNI configurations may not trigger a notification of the files being written there to `containerd` due to certain conditions related to `overlayfs` (see the https://github.com/rancher/rke2/issues/8356[#8356 RKE2 issue]). This in turn results in the deployment of RKE2/K3s to get stuck waiting for the CNI to start, and the RKE2/K3s nodes to stay in `NotReady` state. This can be seen at node level with `kubectl describe node <affected_node>`:

[,bash]
----
Conditions:
Type Status LastHeartbeatTime LastTransitionTime Reason Message
---- ------ ----------------- ------------------ ------ -------
Ready False Thu, 05 Jun 2025 17:41:28 +0000 Thu, 05 Jun 2025 14:38:16 +0000 KubeletNotReady container runtime network not ready: NetworkReady=false reason:NetworkPluginNotReady message:Network plugin returns error: cni plugin not initialized
----

As a workaround, a tmpfs volume can be mounted at the `/etc/cni` directory before RKE2 starts. It avoids the usage of overlayfs which results in containerd missing notifications and the configs should get rewritten every time the node is restarted and the pods initcontainers run again. If using EIB, this can be a `04-tmpfs-cni.sh` script in the `custom/scripts` directory (as explained here[https://github.com/suse-edge/edge-image-builder/blob/release-1.2/docs/building-images.md#custom]) that looks like:

[,bash]
----
#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p /etc/cni
mount -t tmpfs -o mode=0700,size=5M tmpfs /etc/cni
echo "tmpfs /etc/cni tmpfs defaults,size=5M,mode=0700 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
