This topic describes the service notices of Realtime Compute for Apache Flink in 2022 and earlier, including platform upgrades and API version updates.
September 19, 2022: The API version is updated
The API version of Realtime Compute for Apache Flink is updated from V1 to V2 on September 19, 2022. By default, the new API version V2 is used. Compared with V1, V2 provides more comprehensive service capabilities, a more standardized architecture, and standard Alibaba Cloud APIs. In V2, the product model is updated based on V1. The names and usage of APIs differ from those in V1.
After the update is complete, you can call the APIs of V2 to manage the deployments that are created in V1 but you cannot call the APIs of V1 to manage the deployments that are created in V2. This limit applies regardless of whether you perform operations by only calling APIs or perform operations both by calling APIs and in the console of fully managed Flink that uses the Ververica Platform (VVP).
This new version is updated and released from September 19, 2022 to October 27, 2022. We recommend that you update the API version at the earliest opportunity.
If you use the APIs of V1, you can still manage the deployments that are created by calling the APIs of V1 in the console of fully managed Flink that uses VVP after the update. However, you cannot call the APIs of V1 to manage the deployments that are created in the console of fully managed Flink that uses the VVP because the deployments are created by calling the APIs of V2 by default.
If you do not perform operations in the console of fully managed Flink, you can continue using the APIs of V1 after the update, and then update your API version based on your business requirements.
