Hi Stefan,

I'm not seeing the 2020.2 distributions listed for the full kits on the WRC site. Do you know when they will be available?

Hi @Jeffrey Drumm ,

thanks for the catch, the wording was not clear and I have corrected the statement. 2020.2 is a CD release, which only contains container images, not full kits.

Thanks,

Stefan

@Jeffrey Drumm - please see the article on how InterSystems IRIS will be released:

This may help to clear up some confusion.

Thank you for the clarification. I'm in the middle of a Cache/Ensemble on SUSE -> IRIS for Health on RHEL migration and would prefer to be at the latest available release prior to go-live. But I guess I am, per the release schedule.

Great news about ARM support.

As tagged image can be provided with several architectures (example with 4) is there a reason why we separate the tags into community and community-arm?

Steven LeBlanc · Jul 2, 2020

As I understand, this functionality (as well as the ability to use default image tags such as 'openjdk' vs '/store/intersystems/...') is only available for Official Images (https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/official_images/) that are published by Docker. We are a verified publisher, and our images are Docker certified, but they are not published and maintained by Docker.

Here's a Docker Hub image (not official, not certified) with multiple architectures.

Here's info on publishing multi-arch images. Some more info.

manifest command was successfully merged into docker codebase so it seems possible now.

Are there any plans to bring the FHIR capabilities to the EM channel - 2020.1.x? While I appreciate the difference between CD/EM models, these FHIR updates could be critical for those of us that have to stick to the EM model (particularly the FHIR R4 and FHIR Server changes) without needing to wait until a 2021.x release.

Craig Lee · Jul 17, 2020

There are no plans to integrate latest FHIR features into EM (Extended Maintenance) releases at this time, but we will be sure to let everyone know should our release plans change in the future.

Thanks,
Craig
