  • Highlights

    Highlights for the week ending January 12, 2023

    Apps

    Released flux-app version v0.20.2 that contains Flux upgraded to v.37.0 (was v0.36.0) as part of v0.20.0. The major highlights of Flux v0.37.0 are:

    • The interpretation of the gitImplementation field of GitRepository by source-controller and image-automation-controller has been deprecated, and will effectively always use go-git (+ see next item on how to disable forcing this behavior).
    • ImageUpdateAutomation objects with a .spec.PushBranch specified will have the push branch refreshed automatically via force push.
      • In flux-app version v0.20.2 we added a new Helm value: imageAutomationController.featureGatesToDisable - with restricted values of GitForcePushBranch and ForceGoGitImplementation - that can be used to disable this force push behavior by adding GitForcePushBranch to the list. By default no feature gates are disabled
    • ImagePolicy CRD dropped version v1alpha1
    • ImageRepository CRD dropped version v1alpha1
    • ImageUpdateAutomation CRD dropped version v1alpha1

    Additionally flux-app contains the following updates as well:

    • Added capability to attach custom annotations and labels to kustomize-contoller pod via setting the kustomizeController.podTemplate.annotations and kustomizeController.podTemplate.labels fields
    • Added capability to attach custom annotations to the kustomize-controller service account via kustomizeServiceAccount.annotations field
    • Increased memory limits for CRD install job as it was observed to frequently get OOM killed

    User interfaces

    In kubectl-gs v2.29.3 we fixed logging in to clusters running on custom domains.
