Highlights for the week ending April 16, 2021

General

We made a mistake, and we’re here to apologize. In our user interfaces, we previously indicated that Kubernetes v1.18 would run out of support (reach end of life, EOL) by April 8. This was a mistake. The EOL date for v1.18 is April 14 (two days ago). Sorry for the confusion this may have caused!

Our KVM team is working hard to provide a release with Kubernetes v1.19 soon.

Managed apps

NGINX IC v1.16.0 fixes the validation of CPU requests and limits. It also updates the controller container image to v0.45.0, addressing OpenSSL CVEs.

User interfaces

kubectl gs template nodepool: We removed the --num-availability-zones flag which had no effect recently. We are working on bringing back the flag and its functionality in a future release.
