New
v4.9.0
Summary
This release focuses on reinforcing the underlying foundations of the project while enhancing both performance and security that improve alignment with AWS support while ensuring our software has the safety and reliability our users expect.
This release includes updates to several resources that underpin LocalStack for AWS services, including DynamoDB Local, Hadoop, Apache Spark, Glue, k3d, Postgres, Apache ActiveMQ, Python, and Debian Trixie. We’ve also added support for new versions of OpenSearch, new merge strategies for Cloud Pods, CRUD support for EKS access entries, and multi-protocol support for CloudWatch’s additional protocols.
AWS Features
- LocalStack for AWS 4.9 adds support for new versions of OpenSearch and updates the default version to align with AWS support. The new supported versions for OpenSearch are 2.15, 2.17, 2.19 and 3.1. The new default version for OpenSearch domains (if no version is set) is now 3.1.
- LocalStack for AWS 4.9 adds CRUD support of EKS access entries and access policies. The new supported APIs include:
AssociateAccessPolicyCreateAccessEntryDeleteAccessEntryDescribeAccessEntryDisassociateAccessPolicyListAccessEntriesListAccessPoliciesListAssociatedAccessPoliciesUpdateAccessEntry
- The emulator is ready with multi-protocol support for the CloudWatch service in order to align with these upcoming changes to the CloudWatch service.
Enhancements
- Implement
ListTags,TagResourceandUntagResourceAPI support for Backup Vaults and Backup Plans, which are the only resources we support that would support tagging. - Remove unused Terraform package installer at
localstack-core/localstack/packages/terraform.py. If you were using this package installer, please instead refer to ourterraform-initextension.
Deprecations
- PostgreSQL 11 Support Removed: LocalStack for AWS 4.9 drops support for installing PostgreSQL 11. All services that previously used PostgreSQL 11 — including RDS, Redshift, and Timestream — now default to PostgreSQL 12. If you rely on PostgreSQL 11 in previous versions, ensure compatibility before upgrading.
- Debian Trixie / Python 3.13 Upgrade: Starting with LocalStack for AWS 4.9, the base image has been upgraded from Debian Bookworm / Python 3.11 to Debian Trixie / Python 3.13. This may impact custom extensions, init scripts, or packages that rely on specific OS packages or Python 3.11.
- Reinitialization Required for Existing Extensions: Due to the base image and Python upgrade, older volumes with installed extensions (using
localstack extension init) may not be detected. Users will need to reinitialize and reinstall these extensions after upgrading.
