Hello, I have a virtual machine with Ubuntu 22.04 on an ESXI host.

I use Uyuni as a patch management server and on some virtual systems I have the problem that the venv-salt-minion shows me errors: $ sudo systemctl status venv-salt-minion.service

You should migrate to x509_v2. If not wrong x509 will be removed in version 3008 and x509_v2 will become default one. To switch/activate follow this documentation.

[hsh-it]

If x509 is removed with version 3008 and x509_v2 becomes standard, can I leave it as it is until then and the change will take effect without intervention or will there have to be manual intervention in any case?

[voyvodov]

I'll recommend you to manually switch as there are some breaking changes before upgrading salt to 3008. It will not be nice if all of your stuff stops working during the upgrade. However, until then, it's up to you if you want to use v1 or v2, but if you go with v2, be sure that you're running at least v3006.4 as there are major fixes in 3006.3/4 related to x509 modules.

features:
  x509_v2: true
