Changes and Releases

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

  In this release:

  • Cluster details page was added.
  • K8s resources management was refactored in GS plugins.
  • Auto generation of TS types and constant values for K8s resources was added in GS plugins. See ./docs/releases/v0.41.0-changelog.md for more information.
• Oct 30, 2024 Managed Apps aws-node-termination-handler-app v1.20.0

  Changed

  • Use vendir to pull from upstream repository https://github.com/giantswarm/aws-node-termination-handler-upstream
  • Upgrade image to 1.22.1
• Oct 30, 2024 Dashboards dashboards v3.26.0

  • Resync alloy, loki and mimir mixins from upstream.
• Oct 28, 2024 kubectl gs kubectl-gs v4.3.0

  • Basic usage tracking data is now collected for every command execution. This should help us maintain and develop the tool. Set the KUBECTL_GS_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT environment variable to an arbitrary value to disable this. Data is submitted to TelemetryDeck in the EU. More details are available in our docs.
• Oct 23, 2024 Managed Apps falco-app v0.9.1

  Changed

  • Add feature gates for enabling/disabling individual Falco components.
• Oct 23, 2024 Managed Apps trivy-app v0.13.0

  Changed

  • Update Trivy to upstream version v0.56.1.
  • Disable PSPs.
• Oct 23, 2024 Workload cluster releases for VSPHERE releases vsphere-27.0.1

  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. 27.0.1.
  • 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 27.0.1
