Apps

External-dns-app version 2.34.1 adds node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane to the toleration of CRD install jobs. This update also contains the addition of ServiceMonitor and the addition of default values that were released in version 2.34.0
Kyverno-app version v0.14.1 updates to Kyverno version 1.9.2 and policy-reporter version 2.17.0. This version includes performance improvements to increase the AdmissionReports processing speed and reduce the number of reports stored in the cluster.
Nginx-ingress-controller-app version 2.27.0 is the second part of our upstream alignment epic. We have added seven helper properties, forty-three deployment properties and adapted our CI to be compliant. Before upgrading, please take care and read the changelog as there are some changes that should be done carefully. In the process of alignment, we have adapted other templates. Additionally, the chart.yaml has been aligned with upstream too. Last but not least, we removed some helpers and deployment properties not needed after the restructuring work. So, please be aware that some of these changes, additions or removals can require modifications from you. We encourage you to read the changelog for not to miss any information.
Trivy-app version 0.8.0 updates the Trivy scanner version to v0.37.2, containing various bug fixes and additional support for future scanning features.
