Changes and Releases

Updates on Giant Swarm workload cluster releases, apps, UI improvements and documentation changes.

  • CAPV releases releases vsphere-27.0.0

    We are happy to announce the first release for vSphere that uses the new release framework.

    Migration to new releases flow

    In order to consume the new flow, the following two fields need to be manually adapted:

    • In ConfigMap <cluster name>-userconfig set .Values.global.release.version to the release version, e.g. 27.0.0.
    • In App <cluster name> remove the spec.version field. In case of GitOps, Flux might complain that the app manifest is invalid as the spec.version field is mandatory. In that case, edit the live App CR and set spec.version to an empty string. That will unblock Flux and allow it reconcile successfully.

    And if you want to use kubectl-gs to create a cluster, you’d need to now specify the release version, e.g.:

    kubectl-gs template cluster --provider vsphere --organization my_org --name cluster_name -vsphere-network-name network_name --release 27.0.0
