Is certified "Amazon Linux w/ OpenJDK 11" AMI still available?

Gatling Enterprise

We have a self-hosted version of Gatling frontline (entreprise). Still in version 1.13.1.

Our instance fails to deploy an AWS pool, based on the certified “Amazon Linux w/ OpenJDK 11” AMI.

We encounter this message:
There are no available AMI for OpenJDK 11 in this region.

Can you confirm us we should be able to use our current instance of Frontline with this certified AMI?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

You should really be updating to a later version to be getting support. This version is almost 5 years old. Is there a specific reason it has not been updated? Can we assist in upgrading perhaps?

All the best,
Pete

We also confirmed that we have not retired any of the older AMIs recently. Can you confirm the last time that you were using this successfully. Please feel free to reach out by email as well to pdutka@gatling.io.

All the best,
Pete

Not really… Maybe it’s a matter of task prioritization within the team…

→ We’re raising the Frontline server update task in our backlog :slight_smile: .

We also confirmed that we have not retired any of the older AMIs recently.

Thanks for the information.

Can you confirm the last time that you were using this successfully.

Our last test run from our “Gatling Frontline” instance was on November 6, 2023.

Best regards

Thanks you,

From our end we haven’t changed anything since then. It’s possible that the older images that were working were automatically removed by AWS for security reasons.

I would say the best option would be an update but definitely with everything backed up and a strong review of the changelog as there are likely many breaking changes between Gatling 1.13.1 and 1.19.1 (current). Would you be open to a quick call so we can go over options and see how we can support?

All the best,
Pete

Thanks Pete,

We’ve just applied the solution you suggested: updating version.
Our instance has now been upgraded to Gatling Frontline Entreprise 1.19.2 version with JDK 11.

The corresponding AMIs have been found (now OpenJDK 11, among suggested available 11, 17, 21 versions), and injections via the AWS pool are OK.

Next steps: upgrade our code from Gatling 3.5 to latest 3.10, and Cassandra to v4.
