Highlights for the week ending June 18, 2021

General

As we aim to align our terminology with the Kubernetes project where possible, we started replacing the term master node with control plane node in our communication and user interfaces.

Managed apps

Loki v0.2.0 comes with upstream version 2.2.1. You can now use an existing secret (such as sealed secrets) for configuration, making the app more flexible. Please note that there is a manual intervention required when upgrading to this version. Check the release info for details.

Kong v2.1.0 is upgraded to upstream chart v2.1.0. We anticipate some Kong issues customers have been facing to be fixed by upgrading.

NGINX IC v1.17.0 updates the controller container image to v0.47.0.

External DNS v2.4.0 is upgraded to v0.8.0.

User interfaces

kubectl gs as of v1.28.0 offers two new commands: get appcatalogs and get apps.
