This release of the Windows Machine Config Operator (WMCO) provides bug fixes for running Windows compute nodes in an OKD cluster.
Issued: 3 March 2026
The components of the Red Hat Windows Machine Config Operator (WMCO) 10.21.1 were released in RHBA-2026:3684.
Before this update, the hybridOverlay service was not using the trusted CA bundle when connecting to Kubernetes, because the --k8s-cacert option was missing from the service command. Because of this, users could encounter trust issues or failures when the hybridOverlay service attempted to communicate securely with Kubernetes clusters using custom or internal CAs. With this release, the hybridOverlay service command now includes the --k8s-cacert flag pointing to the trusted CA bundle. As a result, the hybridOverlay service uses the trusted CA bundle for secure communication, preventing trust issues and ensuring compatibility with the cluster. (OCPBUGS-64719)
