Upgrade Notes:

• Upgrading the Amazon Aurora Postgres Engine version and/or the switch to Aurora Serverless v2 via Amazon Cloudformation is not supported.

• This is an overall rewrite/remake of a lot of things, please do a new deployment rather than than an inplace upgrade. If you desperately want to update inplace: Do proper backups first!

5.0.0

[5.0.0] - 2023-06-15

Upgrade Notes:

• Upgrading the Amazon Aurora Postgres Engine version and/or the switch to Aurora Serverless v2 via Amazon Cloudformation is not supported. Please refer to the official upgrade documentation and migrate to Aurora Serverless v2 if you have a already running environment using an older engine version and/or Aurora Serverless v1 to proceed with the upgrade before using the Cloudformation deployment.
• Greenlight Updated to version 3 which will come with some major changes to the startup scripts. 5.0.0 of the deployment will not be compatible to Greenligth version 2 based deployments anymore. If you need to stay with Greenlight version 2 please use version 4.5.0 of the deployment codebase.
• Due the change in how we utilize the most recent AMI for Ubuntu, double check your parameter file (bbb-on-aws-param.json) if you customized it to reflect the switch to the new parameters BBBApplicationInstanceAMIParameter and containing the path to the fitting AMI SSM Parameter Store object.
• seperate turn servers has been removed from the deployment. this also means big blue button versions prior 2.6 cannot be used with version 5.0.0 anymore as the prior versions do not support the included turn server install. If you want to stick on BigBlueButton 2.5 use the 4.X version of this deployment code.

Changed

• Aurora Engine Version now on 14.3
• ExecutionCommand Enabled for the ECS cluster, tasks are extended to be able to use aws ecs cli commands to log into the tasks for debug purposes

• Update Greenlight to version 3
• Update Scalelite to version 1.4
• Bootstrap Scripts moved to seperate bash script files for easier access for customization and lean cfn template.

• Removed the Custom AMI finder and relate to AWS Parameter Store default offering via resolve Function
• restructured the ECR local workflow.
• Added ScanOnPush to the ECR registry for security scaning
• Removed the need for server-handler task to add and remove BBB Application server instances. commands are executed now directly at the scalelite-api task via the application server instance. This will speed up adding/removing of meeting servers.
• Removal of the seperate turn server. the turn server is now integrated into each BBB Application Server Instance seperately
• updated cli53 version to 0.8.22
• updated aws-cli v1 to v2
