Migration to new Job Queue in North Europe

In the following weeks, starting tomorrow 2.3.2022, we will be continuously migrating projects in our North Europe stack to the new version of the Job Queue.

At first glance, these are mostly cosmetic changes, but under the hood we have totally reworked how jobs are processed in order to make them more reliable, faster, and makes it easier for us to bring more features to you:

  • Dynamic backends
  • Parallel execution of configuration rows
  • Long running jobs
  • Versioning and trash for Orchestrator configurations
  • More concise API of the individual services

Please read more about new Job Queue and the migration here.

We will start the migration with our internal projects and in the following weeks we will migrate projects which don't have any incompatible components. (The list of incompatible components can also be found here). 
If you are using one of the components from the list in you project and want your project to be migrated to the new Job Queue, please contact our support.

The migration of all projects should be completed within a month or two.

Please contact us on support@keboola.com if you have any questions about the upcoming migration or the new Job Queue in general.

We will keep you posted about the progress of the migration.

Multi-factor authentication devices registered via Safari do not work

There is a problem with MFA registration in Safari for both, hardware keys like Yubikey and TouchID. The registration succeeds but it's not possible to verify the MFA upon login.

If you registered a hardware key in Safari, use other browser to log in (it will work). Then remove the registered device and re-register it using the other browser.

If you registered TouchID in Safari, please contact support to have your MFA disabled to allow you to login. After that please reregister your TouchID the using different browser.

Some orchestration phases doing no work

We see cases of orchestrations skipping their tasks in phases. The symptom is that orchestration finishes with success but in very short time with no tasks executed. We do not know yet what are the exact properties of an orchestration to trigger the issue.

We are rolling back todays changes in orchestration processing which should fix this issue. 

Update 16:15 UTC The issue is now fixed.

Microsoft Azure services planned maintenance

This applies only to Azure North Europe stack (https://connection.north-europe.azure.keboola.com).

Microsoft Azure will be performing maintenance on database services between 16:00 UTC on Feb 10 2022 and 08:00 UTC on 11 Feb 2022. This maintenance will last 60 to 120 seconds and may happen multiple times in this window. This may cause

  • brief platform unavailability, 
  • job retries, 
  • job errors and
  • very rarely also duplicate job execution

As we do not know when this will happen exactly we're unable to plan a maintenance window. If you encounter any issues due to this maintenance please contact our support.

U2F deprecation

If you have upgraded to Chrome 98 and you use U2F (e.g. Yubikey) as MFA, you will experience issues with login. U2F is being deprecated and Chrome 98 disables it by default. For time being you can enable it in Chrome settings (see chrome://flags/#u2f-security-key-api ) as a workaround. We are working on an upgrade and we will inform you.

2022-02-17 : Keboola platform supports now Webauthn API, which provides hardware security keys (FIDO devices, e.g. Yubikey) functionality. So there shouldn't be any issues with your login using this type of MFA.
