+v18.2.4 container images, now based on CentOS 9, may be incompatible on older kernels (e.g., Ubuntu 18.04) due

   mappings with the CLI command. Please note that the fix is minimal and does not address corner cases such as
   adding a mapping in the middle of an upgrade or in a partially upgraded cluster (related trackers linked
