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

• Sep 24, 2024 CAPA releases releases aws-29.2.0

  Changes compared to v29.1.0

  Components

  • cluster-aws from v2.0.0 to v2.2.0
  • Flatcar from v3975.2.0 to v3975.2.1
  • Kubernetes from v1.29.8 to v1.29.9

  cluster-aws v2.0.0…v2.2.0

  ⚠️ Breaking change

  • Do not allow additional properties in the following fields in order to avoid unnoticed typos:

    • global.connectivity.network
    • global.connectivity.network.pods
    • global.connectivity.network.services
    • global.connectivity.subnets[]
    • global.connectivity.topology
    • global.controlPlane
    • global.controlPlane.additionalSecurityGroups[]
    • global.controlPlane.machineHealthCheck
    • global.controlPlane.oidc
    • global.providerSpecific
    • global.providerSpecific.instanceMetadataOptions

  If you were using values like global.controlPlane.containerdVolumeSizeGB and global.controlPlane.kubeletVolumeSizeGB, please move to the new .global.controlPlane.libVolumeSizeGB which defines the size of disk volume used for /var/lib mount point.

  Added

  • Allow to enable auditd through global.components.auditd.enabled helm value.
  • Chart: Support multiple service account issuers.
    This is used for example in the migration from Vintage AWS clusters to CAPA. Multiple issuers were previously supported only through internal chart values (this change removes internal.migration.irsaAdditionalDomain). The internal annotation aws.giantswarm.io/irsa-additional-domain on AWSMachineTemplate objects is changed to plural aws.giantswarm.io/irsa-trust-domains on the AWSCluster object.

  • Set provider specific configuration for cilium CNI ENI values.
