# Known Issues — 2025.2

> 2025.2 is the current development release. This file should be updated as issues are discovered during testing and after release.

### No release-specific issues documented yet

2025.2 is in active development. The issues listed in [2025.1.md](2025.1.md) that are marked "Open" and affect "All kolla-ansible versions" also apply to 2025.2.

## Known Changes and Deprecations

### OVS agent deprecated in favor of OVN

**Impact:** Open vSwitch ML2 agent (`openvswitch`) is formally deprecated in 2025.2. It remains functional but will be removed in a future release. New deployments should use OVN.

**Action:** No immediate action required for existing OVS deployments. Plan migration to OVN for a future upgrade cycle. See `deploy/reference/decision-guides/networking.md` for migration guidance.

### Podman support promoted to supported (from experimental)

**Impact:** Podman is now a fully supported container runtime alongside Docker in 2025.2. Previous versions treated Podman support as experimental.

**Action:** If using Podman, no changes needed. If considering switching from Docker to Podman, this can be done during an upgrade to 2025.2.

In `globals.yml`:
```yaml
container_engine: "podman"  # default is "docker"
```
