Cotopaxi Release Notes

1.2.0 (Cotopaxi) is a major feature release. Manual upgrade steps will be required. See https://magma.github.io/magma/docs/orc8r/upgrade_1_2 and https://magma.github.io/magma/docs/lte/agw_120_upgrade for specific upgrade instructions.

Notable New Features

NMS Redesign

With this version, we're rolling out a comprehensive redesign of the NMS. See the User Guide for an in-depth overview of the new system.

Note that quite a lot of new NMS functionality requires Elasticsearch to be deployed with Orchestrator. If you've turned off Elasticsearch in your Orchestrator deployment, this upgrade might be a good time to change that setting in your Terraform root module.

AGW Bridged Mode

We've added a few new UE IP allocation strategies under "Bridged Mode" for the AGW. These include:

• IP pool allocation
• DHCP allocation
• Static IP assignments

We are also rolling out multi APN-SGi support in this release as an experimental feature.

See the feature guide for bridged mode to use these new features.

QoS Enforcement

Magma now supports configurable Quality of Service (QoS) profiles for traffic policies. You can now configure QoS parameters for each APN that a subscriber is allowed to connect with. Specific traffic policies with QoS parameters can also be assigned to subscribers on a per-APN basis to enforce finer-grained QoS restrictions.

In-depth feature documentation for QoS is still in the works, but you can refer to the original feature proposal for more details in the meantime.
