Workload cluster release azure-25.0.0 for Azure

We are happy to announce the first release for Azure 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. 25.0.0.
• 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 capz --organization my-org --name cluster_name --region westeurope --azure-subscription-id AZURE_ID --release 25.0.0
