Key Announcements



  • This release introduces a fix to an issue identified in 7.2CU4 and 7.2CU5 in which deleted services were recreated and appear in an error state. With this fix the replica deleted state will now be correctly persisted on the node in all scenarios preventing services from entering an error state upon node restart. If you were impacted by this issue, you can reduce the value of the cluster configuration FailoverManager::DroppedReplicaKeepDuration to mitigate the issue, and update to CU6 to resolve the issue.

  • Key Vault references for Service Fabric applications are now GA on Windows and Linux.

  • .NET 5 apps for Windows on Service Fabric are now supported as a preview. Look out for the GA announcement of .NET 5 apps for Windows on Service Fabric.

  • .NET 5 apps for Linux on Service Fabric will be added in the Service Fabric 8.0 release.
