Even though nights are getting longer, our experts ain’t getting any sleepier — let us introduce you to the newest release of lighty.io — 17!

PANTHEON.tech has been one of the largest contributors to the OpenDaylight code for several years — hence we were eager to implement the latest changes from the Chlorine SR2 release.

Come have a look at what we have achieved and how we have been doing since the launch of the previous version.

have been officially certified as Certified CNFs, issued by the Cloud-Native Computing Foundation.

New Features

Every major release deserves some new features to go along with it. lighty.io 17 is not far behind and introduces a couple of them:

  • Keeping up with OpenDaylight Chlorine SR2 release
  • Open-source the lighty-guice-app example → Our team has open-sourced a previously unavailable example, which allows lighty.io to work with the Google Guice framework, based on Java
  • New lighty.io RNC app cluster GitHub workflow test → read more about clustering in the lighty.io RNC app here
  • Add configuration for basic authorization to AAA → Our Authentication, Authorization & Accounting module has a new configuration for basic authorization
  • Reusable workflow for lighty.io App test jobs
  • Replace reload4j with log4j2

Improvements & Security Fixes

Among the new features are improvements and security fixes, which our team was working on to make the lighty.io experience better, faster and safer for everyone to use:

  • Replaced javax with jakarta
  • Changed ODL compatibility release in documentation
  • Fix reported CVE-2020–36518 & CVE-2022–2048 issues
