Introduction to ovsdb-plugin-2.3.2.rpm Software

The ovsdb-plugin-2.3.2.rpm package provides critical database management extensions for Open vSwitch (OVS) 2.3.2 environments, specifically enhancing interaction with OVSDB (Open vSwitch Database). This plugin enables advanced configuration synchronization and transactional control for cloud infrastructure deployments using OVS as their software-defined networking (SDN) solution. Released in Q2 2025 as part of OVS maintenance updates, it addresses 6 known CSC defects documented in OVS Jira tickets OVN-4572 through OVN-4577.

Compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6+/9.2+ and CentOS Stream 9, this RPM package integrates with OVSDB-Server 2.3.2 to enable RBAC-controlled database operations. The plugin is mandatory for environments using Kubernetes CNI plugins that require atomic transaction support in OVN (Open Virtual Network) architectures.
