  Warning: rpcbind is disabled by default to mitigate security risks. Any application which requires it will no longer work. NFS v2 and v3 are such applications and are no longer supported. Please, check if any you have any application which depend on rpcbind before you upgrade.

  Known Issues

  • Java applications are unable to identify memory limits when using a JRE prior to v15 in a Control Groups v2 environment. Support was added in JRE v15 and later. More details are available in the upstream issue. We recommend using the latest LTS JRE available (currently v17) to ensure continued compatibility with future releases.

  Control Groups v1 To ensure a smooth transition, in case you need time to modify applications to make them compatible with Control Groups v2, we provide a mechanism that will allow using Control Groups v1 on specific node pools. More details are available in our documentation.

  kubernetes 1.22.6

  What’s New (Major Themes)

  Removal of several beta Kubernetes APIs

  A number of APIs are no longer serving specific Beta versions in favour of the GA version of those APIs. All existing objects can be interacted with via general availability APIs. This removal includes beta versions of ValidatingWebhookConfiguration, MutatingWebhookConfiguration, CustomResourceDefinition, APIService, TokenReview, SubjectAccessReview, CertificateSigningRequest, Lease, Ingress, and IngressClass APIs. For the full list check out Deprecated API Migration Guide and the blog post Kubernetes API and Feature Removals In 1.22: Here’s What You Need To Know.

  Kubernetes release cadence change

  We all have to adapt to change in our lives, and especially so in the past year. The Kubernetes release team was also affected from the COVID-19 pandemic and has listened to its user base regarding the number of releases in a calendar year. From April 23, 2021 it was made official that Kubernetes release cadence has reduced from 4 releases per year to 3 releases per year.

  You can read more in the official blog post Kubernetes Release Cadence Change: Here’s What You Need To Know.

  External credential providers

  Kubernetes client credential plugins have been in beta since 1.11, a few eons ago. With the release of Kubernetes 1.22, this feature set graduates to stable. The GA feature set includes improved support for plugins that provide interactive login flows. This release also contains a number of bug fixes to the feature set. Aspiring plugin authors can look at sample-exec-plugin as a way to get started.

  Related to this topic, the in-tree Azure and GCP authentication plugins have been deprecated in favor of out-of-tree implementations.

  Server-side Apply graduates to GA

  Server-side Apply is a new object merge algorithm, as well as tracking of field ownership, running on the Kubernetes API server. Server-side Apply helps users and controllers manage their resources via declarative configurations. It allows them to create and/or modify their objects declaratively, simply by sending their fully specified intent. After being in beta for a couple releases, Server-side Apply is now generally available.

  Cluster Storage Interface graduations

  CSI support for Windows nodes moves to GA in the 1.22 release. In Kubernetes v1.22, Windows privileged containers are only an alpha feature. To allow using CSI storage on Windows nodes, CSIProxy enables CSI node plugins to be deployed as unprivileged pods, using the proxy to perform privileged storage operations on the node.

  Another feature moving to GA in v1.22 is CSI Service Account Token support. This feature allows CSI drivers to use pods’ bound service account tokens instead of a more privileged identity. It also provides control over to re-publishing these volumes, so that short-lived tokens can be refreshed.

  SIG Windows development tools

  To grow the developer community, SIG Windows released multiple tools. The new tools support multiple CNI providers (Antrea, Calico), can run on multiple platforms (any vagrant compatible provider, such as Hyper-V, VirtualBox, or vSphere). There is also a new way to run bleeding edge Windows features from scratch by compiling the windows kubelet and kube-proxy, then using them along with daily builds of other Kubernetes components.

  Deploy a more secure control plane with kubeadm

  A new alpha feature allows running the kubeadm control plane components as non-root users. This is a long requested security measure in kubeadm. To try it you must enable the kubeadm-specific RootlessControlPlane feature gate. When you deploy a cluster using this alpha feature, your control plane runs with lower privileges.

  A new v1beta3 configuration API. It iterates over v1beta2 by adding some long requested features and deprecating some existing ones. The V1beta3 is now the preferred API version; the v1beta2 API also remains available and is not yet deprecated.

  etcd moves to version 3.5.0

  Kubernetes’ default backend storage, etcd, has a new release 3.5.0 and the community embraced it. The new release comes with improvements to the Security, performance, monitoring and developer experience. There are numerous bug fixes to lease objects causing memory leaks, and compact operation causing deadlocks and more. A couple of new features are also introduced like the migration to structured logging and build in log rotation. The release comes with a detailed future roadmap to implement a solution to traffic overload. A full and detailed list of changes can be read in the 3.5.0 release announcement.

  Kubernetes Node system swap support

  Every system administrator or Kubernetes user has been in the same boat regarding setting up and using Kubernetes: disable swap space. With the release of Kubernetes 1.22, alpha support is available to run nodes with swap memory. This change lets administrators opt in to configuring swap on Linux nodes, treating a portion of block storage as additional virtual memory.

  Cluster-wide seccomp defaults

  A new alpha feature gate SeccompDefault has been added to the kubelet, together with a corresponding command line flag --seccomp-default and kubelet configuration. If both are enabled, then the kubelet’s behavior changes for pods that don’t explicitly set a seccomp profile. With cluster-wide seccomp defaults, the kubelet uses the RuntimeDefault seccomp profile by default, rather than than Unconfined. This allows enhancing the default cluster wide workload security of the Kubernetes deployment. Security administrators will now sleep better knowing there is some security by default for the workloads.

  To learn more about the feature, please refer to the official seccomp tutorial.

  Quality of Service for memory resources

  Originally, Kubernetes used the v1 cgroups API. With that design, the QoS class for a pod only applied to CPU resources (such as cpu_shares). The Kubernetes cgroup manager uses memory.limit_in_bytes in v1 cgroups to limit the memory capacity for a container, and uses oom_scores to recommend an order for killing container processes if an out-of-memory event occurs. This implementation has shortcomings: for Guaranteed pods, memory can not be fully reserved, and the page cache is at risk of being recycled. For Burstable pods, overcommitting memory (setting request less than limit ) could increase the risk of a container being killed when the Linux kernel detects an out of memory condition.

  As an alpha feature, Kubernetes v1.22 can use the cgroups v2 API to control memory allocation and isolation. This feature is designed to improve workload and node availability when there is contention for memory resources.

  API changes and improvements for ephemeral containers

  The API used to create Ephemeral Containers changed in 1.22. The Ephemeral Containers feature is alpha and disabled by default, and the new API does not work with clients that attempt to use the old API.

  For stable features, the kubectl tool follows the Kubernetes version skew policy; however, kubectl v1.21 and older do not support the new API for ephemeral containers. Users who create ephemeral containers using kubectl debug should note that kubectl version 1.22 will attempt to fall back to the old API; older versions of kubectl will not work with cluster versions of 1.22 or later. Please update kubectl to 1.22 if you wish to use kubectl debug with a mix of cluster versions.

  Known Issues

  CPU and Memory manager are not working correctly for Guaranteed Pods with multiple containers

  A regression bug was found where guaranteed Pods with multiple containers do not work properly with set allocations for CPU, Memory, and Device manager. The fix will be availability in coming releases.

  CSIMigrationvSphere feature gate has not migrated to new CRD APIs

  If CSIMigrationvSphere feature gate is enabled, user should not upgrade to Kubernetes v1.22. vSphere CSI Driver does not support Kubernetes v1.22 yet because it uses v1beta1 CRD APIs. Support for v1.22 will be added at a later release. Check the following document for supported Kubernetes releases for a given vSphere CSI Driver version.

  Urgent Upgrade Notes

  (No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

  • Audit log files are now created with a mode of 0600. Existing file permissions will not be changed. If you need the audit file to be readable by a non-root user, you can pre-create the file with the desired permissions. (#95387, @JAORMX) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]
  • CSI migration of AWS EBS volumes requires AWS EBS CSI driver ver. 1.0 that supports allowAutoIOPSPerGBIncrease parameter in StorageClass. (#101082, @jsafrane)
  • Conformance image is now built with Distroless. Users running Conformance testing should rely on container entrypoint instead of manual invocation to /run_e2e.sh or /gorunner, as they are now deprecated and will be removed in 1.25 release. Invoking ginkgo and e2e.test are still supported through overriding entrypoint (docker) or defining container spec.command (kubernetes). (#99178, @wilsonehusin)
  • Default StreamingProxyRedirects to disabled. If there is a >= 2 version skew between master and nodes, and the old nodes were enabling --redirect-container-streaming, this will break them. In this case, the StreamingProxyRedirects can still be manually enabled. (#101647, @pacoxu)
  • Intree volume plugin scaleIO support has been completely removed from Kubernetes. (#101685, @Jiawei0227)
  • Kubeadm: remove the automatic detection and matching of cgroup drivers for Docker. For new clusters if you have not configured the cgroup driver explicitly you might get a failure in the kubelet on driver mismatch (kubeadm clusters should be using the systemd driver). Also remove the IsDockerSystemdCheck preflight check (warning) that checks if the Docker cgroup driver is set to systemd. Ideally such detection / coordination should be on the side of CRI implementers and the kubelet (tracked here). Please see the page on how to configure cgroup drivers with kubeadm manually (#99647, @neolit123)
  • Kubeadm: the flag --cri-socket is no longer allowed in a mixture with the flag --config. Please use the kubeadm configuration for setting the CRI socket for a node using {Init|Join}Configuration.nodeRegistration.criSocket. (#101600, @KofClubs)
  • Newly provisioned PVs by Azure disk will no longer have the beta FailureDomain label. Azure disk volume plugin will start to have GA topology label instead. (#101534, @kassarl)
  • Scheduler’s CycleState now embeds internal read/write locking inside its Read() and Write() functions. Meanwhile, Lock() and Unlock() function are removed. Scheduler plugin developers are now required to remove CycleState#Lock() and CycleState#Unlock(). Just simply use Read() and Write() as they’re natively thread-safe now. (#101542, @Huang-Wei)
  • The CSIMigrationVSphereComplete feature flag is removed. InTreePluginvSphereUnregister will be the way moving forward. (#101272, @Jiawei0227)
  • The flag --experimental-patches is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. You can migrate to using the new flag --patches. Add a new field {Init|Join}Configuration.patches.directory that can be used for the same purpose. For init and join it is now recommended that you migrate to configure patches via {Init|Join}Configuration.patches.directory. For the time being, these flags can be mixed with --config, but that might change in the future. On a command line, the last *patches flag takes precedence over previous flags and the value in config. kubeadm upgrade --patches will continue to be the only available option, since upgrade does not support a configuration file yet. (#103063, @neolit123)

  Important Security Information

  This release contains changes that address the following vulnerabilities:

  CVE-2021-25741: Symlink Exchange Can Allow Host Filesystem Access

  A security issue was discovered in Kubernetes where a user may be able to create a container with subpath volume mounts to access files & directories outside of the volume, including on the host filesystem.

  Affected Versions:

  • kubelet v1.22.0 - v1.22.1
  • kubelet v1.21.0 - v1.21.4
  • kubelet v1.20.0 - v1.20.10
  • kubelet <= v1.19.14

  Fixed Versions:

  • kubelet v1.22.2
  • kubelet v1.21.5
  • kubelet v1.20.11
  • kubelet v1.19.15

  This vulnerability was reported by Fabricio Voznika and Mark Wolters of Google.

  CVSS Rating: High (8.8) CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

  Deprecation

  • Controller-manager: the following flags have no effect and would be removed in v1.24:

    • --port
    • --address The insecure port flags --port may only be set to 0 now.

    In addtion, please be careful that:

    • controller-manager MUST start with --authorization-kubeconfig and --authentication-kubeconfig correctly set to get authentication/authorization working.
    • liveness/readiness probes to controller-manager MUST use HTTPS now, and the default port has been changed to 10257.
    • Applications that fetch metrics from controller-manager should use a dedicated service account which is allowed to access nonResourceURLs /metrics. (#96216, @knight42) [SIG API Machinery, Cloud Provider, Instrumentation and Testing]

  • Deprecate --record flag in kubectl. The --record flag is being replaced with the mechanism which annotates HTTP requests with kubectl command details. (#102873, @soltysh)

  • E2e.test: removed the --viper-config flag. If you were previously using this to pass flags to e2e.test via a file, you will need to pass them directly on the command line, e.g. e2e.test --e2e-output-dir. (#102598, @dims)

  • For kubeadm: remove the ClusterStatus API from v1beta3 and its management in the kube-system/kubeadm-config ConfigMap. This method of keeping track of what API endpoints exists in the cluster was replaced (in a prior release) by a method to annotate the etcd Pods that kubeadm creates in “stacked etcd” clusters. The following CLI sub-phases are deprecated and are now a NO-OP: for kubeadm join: “control-plane-join/update-status”, for kubeadm reset: “update-cluster-status”. Unless you are using these phases explicitly, you should not be affected. (#101915, @neolit123)

  • Kubeadm: remove the deprecated --csr-only and --csr-dir flags from kubeadm init phase certs. Deprecate the same flags under kubeadm certs renew. In both the cases the command kubeadm certs generate-csr should be used instead. (#102108, @neolit123)

  • Kubeadm: Remove the deprecated command kubeadm alpha kubeconfig. Please use kubeadm kubeconfig instead. (#101938, @knight42)

  • Kubeadm: Remove the deprecated hyperkube image support in v1beta3. This implies removal of ClusterConfiguration.UseHyperKubeImage. (#101537, @neolit123)

  • Kubeadm: Remove the field ClusterConfiguration.DNS.Type in v1beta3 since CoreDNS is the only supported DNS type. (#101547, @neolit123)

  • Kubeadm: remove the deprecated command kubeadm config view. A replacement for this command is kubectl get cm -n kube-system kubeadm-config -o=jsonpath="{.data.ClusterConfiguration}" (#102071, @neolit123)

  • Kubeadm: remove the deprecated flag ‘–image-pull-timeout’ for ‘kubeadm upgrade apply’ command (#102093, @SataQiu) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

  • Kubeadm: remove the deprecated flag --insecure-port from the kube-apiserver manifest that kubeadm manages. The flag had no effect since 1.20, since the insecure serving of the component was disabled in the same version. (#102121, @pacoxu)

  • Kubeadm: remove the deprecated kubeadm API v1beta1. Introduce a new kubeadm API v1beta3. See kubeadm/v1beta3 for a list of changes since v1beta2. Note that v1beta2 is not yet deprecated, but will be in a future release. (#101129, @neolit123)

  • Newly provisioned PVs by vSphere in-tree plugin will no longer have the beta FailureDomain label. vSphere volume plugin will start to have GA topology label (#102414, @divyenpatel)

  • Removal of the CSI NodePublish path by the kubelet is deprecated. This must be done by the CSI plugin according to the CSI spec. (#101441, @dobsonj)

  • Remove support for the Service topologyKeys field (alpha) and the kube-proxy implementation of it. This field was deprecated several cycles ago. This functionality is replaced by the combination of automatic topology hints per-endpoint (alpha) and the Service internalTrafficPolicy field (alpha). (#102412, @andrewsykim)

  • The PodUnknown phase is now deprecated. (#95286, @SergeyKanzhelev)

  • The storageos, quobyte and flocker storage volume plugins are deprecated and will be removed in a later release. (#101773, @Jiawei0227)

  • The deprecated flag --hard-pod-affinity-symmetric-weight and --scheduler-name have been removed from kube-scheduler. Use ComponentConfig instead to configure those parameters. (#102805, @ahg-g)

  • The feature Dynamic Kubelet Configuration is deprecated and kubelet will report warning when the flag --dynamic-config-dir is used. Feature gate DynamicKubeletConfig is disabled out of the box and needs to be explicitly enabled. (#102966, @SergeyKanzhelev) [SIG Cloud Provider, Instrumentation and Node]

  • The in-tree azure and gcp auth plugins have been deprecated. The https://github.com/Azure/kubelogin and gcloud commands serve as out-of-tree replacements via the kubectl/client-go credential plugin mechanism. (#102181, @enj) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]

  • The ingress v1beta1 has been deprecated. (#102030, @aojea)

  API Change

  • A new score extension for NodeResourcesFit plugin that merges the functionality of NodeResourcesLeastAllocated, NodeResourcesMostAllocated, RequestedToCapacityRatio plugins, which are marked as deprecated as of v1beta2. In v1beta1, the three plugins can still be used in v1beta1 but not at the same time with the score extension of NodeResourcesFit. (#101822, @yuzhiquan)

  • A value of Auto is now a valid for the service.kubernetes.io/topology-aware-hints annotation. (#100728, @robscott)

  • Add DataSourceRef alpha field to PVC spec, which allows contents other than PVCs and VolumeSnapshots to be data sources. (#103276, @bswartz)

  • Add PersistentVolumeClaimDeletePoilcy to StatefulSet API. (#99378, @mattcary)

  • Add a new Priority and Fairness rule that exempts all probes (/readyz, /healthz, /livez) to prevent restarting of healthy kube-apiserver instance by kubelet. (#100678, @tkashem)

  • Add alpha support for HostProcess containers on Windows (#99576, @marosset) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Node, Testing and Windows]

  • Add distributed tracing to the kube-apiserver. It is can be enabled with the feature gate APIServerTracing (#94942, @dashpole)

  • Add three metrics to the job controller to monitor if a job works in healthy condition. IndexedJob has been promoted to Beta. (#101292, @AliceZhang2016)

  • Added field .status.uncountedTerminatedPods to the Job resource. This field is used by the job controller to keep track of finished pods before adding them to the Job status counters. Pods created by the job controller get the finalizer batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking Jobs that are tracked using this mechanism get the annotation batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking. This is a temporary measure. Two releases after this feature graduates to beta, the annotation won’t be added to Jobs anymore. (#98817, @alculquicondor)

  • Added new kubelet alpha feature SeccompDefault. This feature enables falling back to the RuntimeDefault (former runtime/default) seccomp profile if nothing else is specified in the pod/container SecurityContext or the pod annotation level. To use the feature, enable the feature gate as well as set the kubelet configuration option SeccompDefault (--seccomp-default) to true. (#101943, @saschagrunert) [SIG Node]

  • Adds the ReadWriteOncePod access mode for PersistentVolumes and PersistentVolumeClaims. Restricts volume access to a single pod on a single node. (#102028, @chrishenzie)

  • Alpha swap support can now be enabled on Kubernetes nodes with the NodeSwapEnabled feature flag. See KEP-2400 for details. (#102823, @ehashman)

  • Because of the implementation logic of time.Format in golang, the displayed time zone is not consistent. (#102366, @cndoit18)

  • Corrected the documentation for escaping dollar signs in a container’s env, command and args property. (#101916, @MartinKanters) [SIG Apps]

  • Enable MaxSurge for DaemonSet by default. (#101742, @ravisantoshgudimetla)

  • Enforce the ReadWriteOncePod PVC access mode during scheduling (#103082, @chrishenzie)

  • Ephemeral containers are now allowed to configure a securityContext that differs from that of the Pod. Cluster administrators should ensure that security policy controllers support EphemeralContainers before enabling this feature in clusters. (#99023, @verb)

  • Exec plugin authors can override default handling of standard input via new interactiveMode kubeconfig field. (#99310, @ankeesler)

  • If someone had the ProbeTerminationGracePeriod alpha feature enabled in 1.21, they should update/delete any workloads/pods with probe terminationGracePeriods < 1 before upgrading (#103245, @wzshiming)

  • Improved parsing of label selectors (#102188, @alculquicondor) [SIG API Machinery]

  • Introduce minReadySeconds api to the StatefulSets. (#100842, @ravisantoshgudimetla)

  • Introducing Memory quality of service support with cgroups v2 (Alpha). The MemoryQoS feature is now in Alpha. This allows kubelet running with cgroups v2 to set memory QoS at container, pod and QoS level to protect and guarantee better memory quality. This feature can be enabled through feature gate Memory QoS. (#102970, @borgerli)

  • Kube API server accepts Impersonate-Uid header to impersonate a user with a specific UID, in the same way that you can currently use Impersonate-User, Impersonate-Group and Impersonate-Extra. (#99961, @margocrawf)

  • Kube-apiserver: --service-account-issuer can be specified multiple times now, to enable non-disruptive change of issuer. (#101155, @zshihang) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Node and Testing]

  • Kube-controller-manager: the --horizontal-pod-autoscaler-use-rest-clients flag and Heapster support in the horizontal pod autoscaler, deprecated since 1.12, is removed. (#90368, @serathius)

  • Kube-scheduler: a plugin enabled in a v1beta2 configuration file takes precedence over the default configuration for that plugin. This simplifies enabling default plugins with custom configuration without needing to explicitly disable those default plugins. (#99582, @chendave)

  • New node-high priority-level has been added to Suggested API Priority and Fairness configuration.(#101151, @mborsz)

  • NodeSwapEnabled feature flag was renamed to NodeSwap

    The flag was only available in the 1.22.0-beta.1 release, and the new flag should be used going forward. (#103553, @ehashman) [SIG Node]

  • Omit comparison with boolean constant (#101523, @chuntaochen) [SIG CLI and Cloud Provider]

  • Removed the feature flag for probe-level termination grace period from Kubelet. If a user wants to disable this feature on already created pods, they will have to delete and recreate the pods. (#103168, @raisaat) [SIG Apps and Node]

  • Revert addition of Add PersistentVolumeClaimDeletePoilcy to StatefulSetAPI. (#103747, @mattcary)

  • Scheduler could be configured to consider new resources beside CPU and memory, GPU for example, for the score plugin of NodeResourcesBalancedAllocation. (#101946, @chendave) [SIG Scheduling]

  • Server Side Apply now treats all Selector fields as atomic (meaning the entire selector is managed by a single writer and updated together), since they contain interrelated and inseparable fields that do not merge in intuitive ways. (#97989, @Danil-Grigorev) [SIG API Machinery]

  • Suspend Job feature graduated to beta. Added the action label to Job controller sync metrics job_sync_total and job_sync_duration_seconds. (#102022, @adtac)

  • The API documentation for the DaemonSet’s spec.updateStrategy.rollingUpdate.maxUnavailable field was corrected to state that the value is rounded up. (#101296, @Miciah)

  • The CSIServiceAccountToken graduates to Ga and is unconditionally enabled. (#103001, @zshihang)

  • The CertificateSigningRequest.certificates.k8s.io API supports an optional expirationSeconds field to allow the client to request a particular duration for the issued certificate. The default signer implementations provided by the Kubernetes controller manager will honor this field as long as it does not exceed the –cluster-signing-duration flag. (#99494, @enj)

  • The EndpointSlicen Mirroring controller no longer mirrors the last-applied-configuration annotation created by kubectl to update EndpointSlices. (#102731, @sharmarajdaksh)

  • The NetworkPolicyEndPort is graduated to beta and is enabled by default. (#102834, @rikatz)

  • The PodDeletionCost feature has been promoted to beta, and enabled by default. (#101080, @ahg-g)

  • The Server Side Apply treats certain structs as atomic. Meaning the entire selector field is managed by a single writer and updated together. (#100684, @Jefftree)

  • The ServiceAppProtocol feature gate has been removed. It reached GA in Kubernetes (#103190, @robscott)

  • The TerminationGracePeriodSeconds on pod specs and container probes should not be negative. Negative values of TerminationGracePeriodSeconds will be treated as the value 1s on the delete path. Immutable field validation will be relaxed in order to update negative values. In a future release, negative values will not be permitted. (#98866, @wzshiming)

  • The kube-scheduler component config v1beta2 API available Three scheduler plugins deprecated (NodeLabel, ServiceAffinity, NodePreferAvoidPods). (#99597, @adtac)

  • The pod/eviction subresource now accepts policy/v1 eviction requests in addition to policy/v1beta1 eviction requests (#100724, @liggitt)

  • The podAffinity, NamespaceSelector and the associated CrossNamespaceAffinity quota scope features graduate to Beta and they are now enabled by default. (#101496, @ahg-g)

  • The pods/ephemeralcontainers API now returns and expects a Pod object instead of EphemeralContainers. This is incompatible with the previous alpha-level API. (#101034, @verb) [SIG Apps, Auth, CLI and Testing]

  • The v1.Node and .status.images[].names are now optional. (#102159, @roycaihw)

  • The deprecated flag --algorithm-provider has been removed from kube-scheduler. Use instead ComponentConfig to configure the set of enabled plugins. (#102239, @Haleygo)

  • The options --ssh-user and --ssh-key are removed. They only functioned on GCE, and only in-tree. Use the apiserver network proxy instead. (#102297, @deads2k)

  • Track Job completion through status and Pod finalizers, removing dependency on Pod tombstones. (#98238, @alculquicondor) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth and Testing]

  • Track ownership of scale subresource for all scalable resources i.e. Deployment, ReplicaSet, StatefulSet, ReplicationController, and Custom Resources. (#98377, @nodo) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

  Feature

  • Kube-apiserver: when merging lists, Server Side Apply now prefers the order of the submitted request instead of the existing persisted object (#107568, @jiahuif) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Storage and Testing]

  • Kubernetes is now built with Golang 1.16.12 (#106982, @cpanato) [SIG Cloud Provider, Instrumentation, Release and Testing]

  • Update golang.org/x/net to v0.0.0-20211209124913-491a49abca63 (#106960, @cpanato) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Node and Storage]

  • Kubernetes is now built with Golang 1.16.10 (#106223, @cpanato) [SIG Cloud Provider, Instrumentation, Release and Testing]

  • Update debian-base, debian-iptables, setcap images to pick up CVE fixes

    • Debian-base to v1.9.0
    • Debian-iptables to v1.6.7
    • setcap to v2.0.4 (#106143, @cpanato) [SIG Release and Testing]

  • A system-cluster-critical pod should not get a low OOM Score.

    As of now both system-node-critical and system-cluster-critical pods have -997 OOM score, making them one of the last processes to be OOMKilled. By definition system-cluster-critical pods can be scheduled elsewhere if there is a resource crunch on the node where as system-node-critical pods cannot be rescheduled. This was the reason for system-node-critical to have higher priority value than system-cluster-critical. This change allows only system-node-critical priority class to have low OOMScore.

    action required If the user wants to have the pod to be OOMKilled last and the pod has system-cluster-critical priority class, it has to be changed to system-node-critical priority class to preserve the existing behavior (#99729, @ravisantoshgudimetla)

  • Add unified map on CRI to support cgroup v2. Refer to https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec/blob/master/config-linux.md#unified. (#102578, @payall4u)

  • Added BinaryData description to kubectl describe command. (#100568, @lauchokyip)

  • Added a new metric apiserver_flowcontrol_request_concurrency_in_use that shows the number of seats (concurrency) occupied by the currently executing requests in the API Priority and Fairness system. (#102795, @tkashem)

  • Added field-selector option for kubectl top pod (#102155, @lauchokyip) [SIG CLI]

  • Added new metrics about API Priority and Fairness. Each one has a label priority_level. The last two also have a label bound taking values min and `max.

    • apiserver_flowcontrol_current_r: R(the time of the last change in state of the queues)
    • apiserver_flowcontrol_dispatch_r: R(the time of the latest request dispatch)

  • Adding --restart-kubelet flag on E2E Node test suite (#97028, @knabben) [SIG Node and Testing]

  • Adds feature gate KubeletInUserNamespace which enables support for running kubelet in a user namespace.

    The user namespace has to be created before running kubelet. All the node components such as CRI need to be running in the same user namespace.

    When the feature gate is enabled, kubelet ignores errors that happens during setting the following sysctl values: vm.overcommit_memory, vm.panic_on_oom, kernel.panic, kernel.panic_on_oops, kernel.keys.root_maxkeys, kernel.keys.root_maxbytes. (These sysctl values for the host, not for the containers)

    kubelet also ignores an error during opening /dev/kmsg. This feature gate also allows kube-proxy to ignore an error during setting RLIMIT_NOFILE.

    This feature gate is especially useful for running Kubernetes inside Rootless Docker/Podman with kind or minikube. (#92863, @AkihiroSuda) [SIG Network, Node and Testing]

  • Deprecated warning message for igonre-errors flag. (#102677, @yuzhiquan)

  • Endpoints that have more than 1000 endpoints will be truncated and the endpoints.kubernetes.io/over-capacity annotation on the Endpoints resource will be set to truncated. (#103520, @swetharepakula) [SIG Apps and Network]

  • Expose /debug/flags/v to allow dynamically setting log level for kube-proxy. (#98306, @borgerli) [SIG Network]

  • Expose container start time as container_start_time_seconds in the kubelet /metrics/resource endpoint. (#102444, @sanwishe)

  • For kubeadm: add --validity-period flag for kubeadm kubeconfig user command. (#100907, @SataQiu)

  • Implement minReadySeconds for the StatefulSets. (#101316, @ravisantoshgudimetla)

  • Improve logging of APIService availability changes in kube-apiserver. (#101420, @sttts)

  • Introduce a feature gate DisableCloudProviders allowing to disable cloud-provider initialization in KAPI, KCM and kubelet. DisableCloudProviders FeatureGate is currently in Alpha, which means is currently disabled by default. Once the FeatureGate moves to beta, in-tree cloud providers would be disabled by default, and a user won’t be able to specify --cloud-provider=<aws|openstack|azure|gcp|vsphere> anymore to any of KCM, KAPI or kubelet. Only a ‘–cloud-provider=external’ would be allowed. CCM would have to run out-of-tree with CSI. (#100136, @Danil-Grigorev)

  • JSON logging format is no longer available by default in non-core Kubernetes Components and require owners to opt in. (#102869, @mengjiao-liu) [SIG API Machinery, Cluster Lifecycle and Instrumentation]

  • Kube-apiserver: the alpha PodSecurity feature can be enabled by passing --feature-gates=PodSecurity=true, and enables controlling allowed pods using namespace labels. See https://git.k8s.io/enhancements/keps/sig-auth/2579-psp-replacement for more details. (#103099, @liggitt) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Instrumentation, Release, Security and Testing]

  • Kube-proxy uses V1 EndpointSlices. (#103306, @swetharepakula)

  • Kubeadm: Add the RootlessControlPlane kubeadm specific feature gate (Alpha in 1.22, disabled by default). It can be used to enable an experimental feature that makes the control plane component static Pod containers for kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager, kube-scheduler and etcd to run as a non-root users. (#102158, @vinayakankugoyal)

  • Kubeadm: Set the seccompProfile to runtime/default in the PodSecurityContext of the control-plane components that run as static Pods. (#100234, @vinayakankugoyal)

  • Kubeadm: add a new field skipPhases to v1beta3 InitConfiguration and JoinConfiguration that can contain a list of phases to skip during “kubeadm init” and “kubeadm join”. The flag “–skip-phases” takes precedence over this field. (#101923, @neolit123)

  • Kubeadm: add the --dry-run flag to the control-plane phase of “kubeadm init”. (#102722, @vinayakankugoyal)

  • Kubeadm: add the imagePullPolicy field in the nodeRegistration section of InitConfiguration and JoinConfiguration in v1beta3. This allows the user to specify the image pull policy during “kubeadm init” and “kubeadm join”. The value of this field must be one of Always, IfNotPresent or Never. The default behavior continues to be IfNotPresent. (#102901, @wangyysde)

  • Kubeadm: during “kubeadm init/join/upgrade”, always default the cgroupDriver value in the KubeletConfiguration to systemd, unless the user was explicit about the value. See configure-cgroup-driver for more details. (#102133, @pacoxu)

  • Kubeadm: update CoreDNS to 1.8.4. Grant CoreDNS permissions to “list” and “watch” EndpointSlice objects to accommodate dual-stack support. (#102466, @pacoxu)

  • Kubectl: add LAST RESTART column to kubectl get pods output. (#100142, @Ethyling)

  • NetworkPolicy validation framework support for windows. (#98077, @jayunit100)

  • New feature gate ExpandedDNSConfig is now available. This feature allows Kubernetes to have expanded DNS configuration. (#100651, @gjkim42)

  • New metrics: apiserver_kube_aggregator_x509_missing_san_total and apiserver_webhooks_x509_missing_san_total. This metric measures a number of connections to webhooks/aggregated API servers that use certificates without Subject Alternative Names. It being non-zero is a warning sign that these connections will stop functioning in the future since Golang is going to deprecate x509 certificate subject Common Names for server hostname verification. (#95396, @stlaz) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Instrumentation]

  • Node Problem Detector is now available for GCE Windows nodes. (#101539, @jeremyje) [SIG Cloud Provider, Node and Windows]

  • Promote Cronjobs storage version to batch/v1. (#102363, @mengjiao-liu)

  • Promote CronJobControllerV2 flag to GA, with removal in 1.23. (#102529, @soltysh)

  • Promote EndpointSliceTerminatingCondition to Beta. This enables the terminating and serving conditions for EndpointSlice by default. (#103596, @andrewsykim)

  • Run etcd as non-root on GCE provider (#100635, @cindy52)

  • Scheduler nows provides an option for plugin developers to move Pods to activeQ. (#103383, @Huang-Wei)

  • Secret values are now masked by default in kubectl diff output. (#96084, @loozhengyuan)

  • Services with externalTrafficPolicy: Local now support graceful termination when using the iptables or ipvs mode of kube-proxy with EndpointSlices enabled. Specifically, if a connection for such a service arrives on a node when there are no “Ready” endpoints for the service, but there is at least one Terminating pod for that service on the node, then kube-proxy will send the traffic to the Terminating pod rather than dropping it. This patches up a race condition between when a pod is killed and when the external load balancer notices that it has been killed. (#97238, @andrewsykim)

  • Shell completion has been migrated to Cobra’s go solution. kubectl is now smarter about disabling file completion when it does not apply. Furthermore, completion for the cp command does not show all files unless the user has started typing something. (#96087, @marckhouzam) [SIG CLI]

  • Some of the in-tree storage drivers indicate support for the MetricsProvider interface, but fail to configure this for BlockMode volumes. With a recent change, Kubelet will call GetMetrics() for BlockMode volumes, and the in-tree drivers that miss the support cause a Go panic. Now the in-tree storage drivers that support BlockMode volumes, will return the Capacity of the volume in the GetMetrics() call. (#101587, @nixpanic)

  • Support FakeClientset match subresource. (#100939, @wzshiming)

  • The “Leader Migration” now support a wildcard component name and the default value. (#102711, @jiahuif)

  • The CSI driver supports the NodeServiceCapability VOLUME_MOUNT_GROUP and the DelegateFSGroupToCSIDriver feature gate is enabled, kubelet will delegate applying FSGroup to the driver by passing it to NodeStageVolume and NodePublishVolume, regardless of what other FSGroup policies are set, this is an alpha feature. (#103244, @verult)

  • The Memory Manager feature graduates to Beta and it is enabled by default. (#101947, @cynepco3hahue)

  • The EmptyDir memory backed volumes are sized as the the minimum of pod allocatable memory on a host and an optional explicit user provided value. (#101048, @dims)

  • The HugePageStorageMediumSize feature graduates to GA and unconditionally enabled. Allowing unconditional usage of multiple sizes huge page resources on a container level. (#99144, @bart0sh)

  • The IngressClassNamespacedParams feature gate has graduated to beta and is enabled by default. This means IngressClass resource will now have two new fields - spec.paramters.namespace and spec.parameters.scope. (#101711, @hbagdi)

  • The LogarithmicScaleDown feature graduates to Beta and enabled by default. (#101767, @damemi)

  • The NamespaceDefaultLabelName is promoted to GA in this release. All Namespace API objects have a kubernetes.io/metadata.name label matching their metadata.name field to allow selecting any namespace by its name using a label selector. (#101342, @rosenhouse)

  • The ServiceInternalTrafficPolicy feature graduates to Beta and enable by default, which enables the internalTrafficPolicy field of Service by default. (#103462, @andrewsykim)

  • The ServiceLBNodePortControl graduates to Beta and is enabled by default. (#100412, @hanlins)

  • The SetHostnameAsFQDN graduates to GA and thus will be unconditionally disabled. (#101294, @javidiaz)

  • The WarningHeader feature is now GA and is unconditionally enabled. The apiserver_requested_deprecated_apis metric has graduated to stable status. The WarningHeader feature-gate is no longer operative and will be removed in v1.24. (#100754, @liggitt) [SIG API Machinery, Instrumentation and Testing]

  • The kubectl debug is able to create ephemeral containers in pre-1.22 clusters with the EphemeralContainers feature enabled. Note that versions of kubectl prior to 1.22 are unable to create ephemeral containers in clusters version 1.22 and greater due to an API change. (#103292, @verb)

  • The client-go credential plugins are now GA and are enabled by default. (#102890, @ankeesler)

  • The feature gate SSA graduated to GA in v1.22 and therefore is unconditionally enabled. (#100139, @Jefftree)

  • The job controller removes running pods when the number of completions is achieved. (#99963, @alculquicondor)

  • The kubeconfig is now exposed in the kube-scheduler framework handle. Out-of-tree plugins can leverage that to build CRD informers easily. (#100644, @Huang-Wei)

  • The new flag --chunk-size=SIZE for kubectl drain has been promoted to beta, and enabled by default. This flag may be used to alter the number of items or disable this feature when 0 is passed. (#100148, @KnVerey)

  • The new flag --chunk-size=SIZE has been added to kubectl describe. This flag may be used to alter the number of items or disable this feature when 0 is passed. (#101171, @KnVerey)

  • The pod resource API will provide memory manager metrics in the case when the memory manager feature gate is enabled, and the memory manager policy is static. (#101030, @cynepco3hahue)

  • The prefer nominated node graduates to Beta and enabld by default. (#102201, @chendave)

  • Update etcd version to 3.5.0-beta.3. (#102062, @serathius)

  • Kubeadm: allow the “certs check-expiration” command to not require the existence of the cluster CA key (ca.key file) when checking the expiration of managed certificates in kubeconfig files. (#106930, @neolit123) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

  • Kubeadm: during execution of the “check expiration” command, treat the etcd CA as external if there is a missing etcd CA key file (etcd/ca.key) and perform the proper validation on certificates signed by the etcd CA. Additionally, make sure that the CA for all entries in the output table is included - for both certificates on disk and in kubeconfig files. (#106925, @neolit123) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

  • Respect grace period when updating static pods. (#106394, @gjkim42) [SIG Node and Testing]

  • Reverts graceful node shutdown to match 1.21 behavior of setting pods that have not yet successfully completed to “Failed” phase if the GracefulNodeShutdown feature is enabled in kubelet. The GracefulNodeShutdown feature is beta and must be explicitly configured via kubelet config to be enabled in 1.21+. This changes 1.22 and 1.23 behavior on node shutdown to match 1.21. If you do not want pods to be marked terminated on node shutdown in 1.22 and 1.23, disable the GracefulNodeShutdown feature. (#106899, @bobbypage) [SIG Node]

  • The kube-proxy sync_proxy_rules_iptables_total metric now gives the correct number of rules, rather than being off by one.

    Fixed multiple iptables proxy regressions introduced in 1.22:

    • When using Services with SessionAffinity, client affinity for an endpoint now gets broken when that endpoint becomes non-ready (rather than continuing until the endpoint is fully deleted).

    • Traffic to a service IP now starts getting rejected (as opposed to merely dropped) as soon as there are no longer any usable endpoints, rather than waiting until all of the terminating endpoints have terminated even when those terminating endpoints were not being used.

    • Chains for endpoints that won’t be used are no longer output to iptables, saving a bit of memory/time/cpu. (#106373, @aojea) [SIG Network]

  • Kubeadm: remove the “ephemeral_storage” request from the etcd static pod that kubeadm deploys on stacked etcd control plane nodes. This request has caused sporadic failures on some setups due to a problem in the kubelet with cadvisor and the LocalStorageCapacityIsolation feature gate. See this issue for more details: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/99305 (#102673, @jackfrancis) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

  • Kubeadm: when using a custom image repository for CoreDNS kubeadm now will append the coredns image name instead of coredns/coredns, thus restoring the behaviour existing before the v1.21 release. Users who rely on nested folder for the coredns image should set the clusterConfiguration.dns.imageRepository value including the nested path name (e.g using registry.company.xyz/coredns will force kubeadm to use registry.company.xyz/coredns/coredns image). No action is needed if using the default registry (k8s.gcr.io). (#102502, @ykakarap)

  • Kubelet: improve the performance when waiting for a synchronization of the node list with the kube-apiserver. (#99336, @neolit123)

  • Prevent Kubelet stuck in DiskPressure when imagefs.minReclaim is set (#99095, @maxlaverse)

  • Reduces delay initializing on non-AWS platforms docker runtime. (#93260, @nckturner) [SIG Cloud Provider]

  • Register/Deregister Targets in chunks for AWS TargetGroup (#101592, @M00nF1sh) [SIG Cloud Provider]

  • Removed /sbin/apparmor_parser requirement for the AppArmor host validation. This allows using AppArmor on distributions which ship the binary in a different path. (#97968, @saschagrunert) [SIG Node and Testing]

  • Renames the timeout field for the DelegatingAuthenticationOptions to TokenRequestTimeout and set the timeout only for the token review client. Previously the timeout was also applied to watches making them reconnecting every 10 seconds. (#100959, @p0lyn0mial)

  • Reorganized iptables rules to reduce rules in KUBE-SERVICES and KUBE-NODEPORTS. (#96959, @tssurya)

  • The kube-controller-manager' sets the upper-bound timeout limit for outgoing requests to 70s. Previously (#99358, @p0lyn0mial)

  • The kube-proxy log now shows the “Skipping topology aware endpoint filtering since no hints were provided for zone” warning under the right conditions. (#101857, @dervoeti)

  • The kubectl create service now respects the namespace flag. (#101005, @zxh326)

  • The kubectl get now truncates multi-line strings to avoid breaking printing (#103514, @soltysh)

  • The kubectl wait --for=delete command now ignores the not found error correctly. (#96702, @lingsamuel)

  • The kubelet now reports distinguishes log messages about certificate rotation for its client cert and server cert separately to make debugging problems with one or the other easier. (#101252, @smarterclayton)

  • The serviceOwnsFrontendIP shouldn’t report error when the public IP doesn’t match. (#102516, @nilo19)

  • The system:aggregate-to-edit role no longer includes write access to the Endpoints API. For new Kubernetes 1.22 clusters, the edit and admin roles will no longer include that access in newly created Kubernetes 1.22 clusters. This will have no affect on existing clusters upgrading to Kubernetes 1.22. To retain write access to Endpoints in the aggregated edit and admin roles for newly created 1.22 clusters, refer to https://github.com/kubernetes/website/pull/29025. (#103704, @robscott) [SIG Auth and Network]

  • The conformance tests:

    • Services should serve multiport endpoints from pods
    • Services should serve a basic endpoint from pods were only validating the API objects, not performing any validation on the actual Services implementation. Those tests now validate that the Services under test are able to forward traffic to the endpoints. (#101709, @aojea) [SIG Network and Testing]

  • The current behavior for Services that IPFamilyPolicy set as PreferDualstack. The current behavior when the cluster is upgraded to dual-stack is:

    • Services that have been set to IPFamilyPolicy = PreferDualstack will be upgraded when the service object is updated. e.g., when a user change a label.

    This behavior will change to:

    • Services that have been set IPFamilyPolicy = PreferDualstack will not be upgraded when the service object is updated. User can still change policy, type etc and existing behaviors remain the same. (#102898, @khenidak) [SIG Network and Testing]

  • The reason and message fields for pod status are no longer reset unless the phase also changes. (#103785, @smarterclayton) [SIG Node]

  Bug fixes

  • SDK: Fixed build error popping up in the new SDK Container because policycoreutils used the wrong ROOT to update the SELinux store (flatcar-linux/coreos-overlay#1502)
  • Fixed leak of SELinux policy store to the root filesystem top directory due to wrong store path in policycoreutils instead of /var/lib/selinux (flatcar-linux/Flatcar#596)
  • Ensured that the /run/xtables.lock coordination file exists for modifications of the xtables backend from containers (must be bind-mounted) or the iptables-legacy binaries on the host (flatcar-linux/init#57)
  • dev container: Fix github URL for coreos-overlay and portage-stable to use repos from flatcar-linux org directly instead of relying on redirects from the kinvolk org. This fixes checkouts with emerge-gitclone inside dev-container. (flatcar-linux/scripts#194)
  • SDK: Fixed build error popping up in the new SDK Container because policycoreutils used the wrong ROOT to update the SELinux store (flatcar-linux/coreos-overlay#1502)
  • arm64: the Polkit service does not crash anymore. (flatcar-linux/Flatcar#156)
  • toolbox: fixed support for multi-layered docker images (toolbox#5)
  • Run emergency.target on ignition/torcx service unit failure in dracut (bootengine#28)
  • Fix vim warnings on missing file, when built with USE=”minimal” (portage-stable#260)
  • The Torcx profile docker-1.12-no got fixed to reference the current Docker version instead of 19.03 which wasn’t found on the image, causing Torcx to fail to provide Docker (PR#1456)
  • Use https protocol instead of git for Github URLs (flatcar-linux/coreos-overlay#1394)

  Changes

  • Backported elf support for iproute2 (flatcar-linux/coreos-overlay#1256)
  • Added GPIO support (coreos-overlay#1236)
  • Enabled SELinux in permissive mode on ARM64 (coreos-overlay#1245)
  • The iptables command uses the nftables kernel backend instead of the iptables backend, you can also migrate to using the nft tool instead of iptables. Containers with iptables binaries that use the iptables backend will result in mixing both kernel backends which is supported but you have to look up the rules separately (on the host you can use the iptables-legacy and friends).
  • Added missing SELinux rule as initial step to resolve Torcx unpacking issue (coreos-overlay#1426)

  calico 3.21.3

  BGP Improvements

  For users of BGP you can now view the status of your BGP routers, including session status, RIB / FIB contents, and agent health via the new CalicoNodeStatus API. See the API documentation for more details.

  In addition, you can control BGP advertisement of certain prefixes using the new disableBGPExport option on each IP pool, allowing greater control of your route sharing scheme.

  Pull requests:

  • Added Calico node status resource (CalicoNodeStatus) which represents a collection of status information for a node that Calico reports back to the user for use during troubleshooting. libcalico-go #1502 (@song-jiang)
  • Report node BGP status from calico/node. node #1234 (@song-jiang)
  • Add new syncer for BGP status API. typha #662 (@song-jiang)
  • Don’t export BGP routes for IP pools that have disableBGPExport==true confd #647 (@coutinhop)

  Service-based network policy improvements

  In v3.20, we introduced egress policy rules that can match on Kubernetes services. In v3.21, we improved upon that in two ways. First, you can now use service matches in Calico NetworkPolicy and GlobalNetworkPolicy ingress rules. Second, you can now use service-based network policy rules on Windows nodes.

  Pull requests:

  • Policy ingress rules now support service selectors. felix #3024 (@mgleung)
  • Windows data plane support for Service-based network policy rules felix #2917 (@caseydavenport)
  • Allow services to be specified in the Source field of Ingress rules libcalico-go #1517 (@mgleung)

  Option to run Calico as non-privileged and non-root

  Calico can now optionally run in non-privileged and non-root mode, with some limitations. See the documentation for more information.

  Pull requests:

  • Change node and supporting binary permissions so that they can be run as a non-root user node #1224 (@mgleung)
  • CNI plugin now sets route_localnet=1 for container interfaces cni-plugin #1168 (@mgleung)
  • CNI plugins now have SUID bit set in order to run as non-root cni-plugin #1168 (@mgleung)

  IPReservations API

  You can use the new IPReservations API to reserve certain IP addresses so that they will not be used by Calico IPAM. This allows for fine-grained control of the IP space in your cluster.

  Pull requests:

  • Add support for IPReservations libcalico-go #1509 (@fasaxc)

  Bug fixes

  • Fix a serious regression introduced in v3.21.0 where the datastore watcher could get stuck and report stale information in clusters with >500 policies/pods/etc. The bug was triggered by needing to do a resync (for example after an etcd compaction) when there were enough resources to trigger the list pager. calico #5332 (@robbrockbank)
  • Pass ExceptUpgradeService param to stop-calico.ps1 as well node #1372 (@lmm)
  • Restrict Typha server to FIPS compliant cipher suites. typha #696 (@caseydavenport)
  • Fix log spam from Calico upgrade service for Windows node #1343 (@song-jiang)
  • Increase timeout for setting NetworkUnavailable on shutdown node #1341 (@caseydavenport)
  • Fix potential panic and memory leak in kube-controllers caused by adding and subsequently deleting IPAM blocks kube-controllers #912 (@caseydavenport)
  • IPAM GC correctly handles multiple IP addresses allocated with the same handle ID. kube-controllers #903 (@caseydavenport)
  • Fix bug where invalid port structures were being sent to Felix, preventing pods with hostPorts specified from working. libcalico-go #1545 (@caseydavenport)
  • Downgrade repetitive info level logging in calico/node autodetection code node #1237 (@caseydavenport)
  • Updated ubi base images and CentOS repos to stop CVE false positives from being reported. node #1136 (@coutinhop)
  • Fixed typo in umount command pod2daemon #64 (@ScheererJ)
  • Fixes this bug which caused WireGuard stats to be collected even when WireGuard was disabled. Additionally, the version of the wgctrl dependency has been updated as the previous version caused thread leaks. felix #3057 (@mikestephen)
  • Fix blackhole route table interface matches to handle empty interface regexes. felix #3007 (@robbrockbank)
  • Fix slow performance when updating a Kubernetes namespace when there are many Pods (and in turn, slow startup performance when there are many namespaces). felix #2964 (@fasaxc)
  • Close race condition that could result in an extra IPAM block being allocated to a node. libcalico-go #1488 (@caseydavenport)
  • Fix that podIP annotation could be incorrectly clobbered for stateful set pods: https://github.com/projectcalico/calico/issues/4710 libcalico-go #1472 (@fasaxc)
  • Fix removal of old CNI configuration on name-change cni-plugin #1153 (@caseydavenport)
  • Readiness depends on all syncers typha #613 (@robbrockbank)
  • Exclude RR nodes from BGP full mesh confd #619 (@coutinhop)
  • Fixed a bug in ExternalTrafficPolicy=Local that lead to connection stalling. felix #3015 (@tomastigera)
  • Fixed broken connections when client used the same port to connect to the same backed via a nodeport on different nodes. felix #2983 (@tomastigera)
  • The eBPF mode implementation of DoNotTrack policy was incorrectly allowing an inbound connection through a HostEndpoint, when the HostEndpoint had DoNotTrack policy for the ingress direction but not for egress. For precise compatibility with Calico’s established DoNotTrack semantics, that connection should be disallowed, and now is. (Because of the lack of connection tracking, successful use of DoNotTrack policy to allow flows requires configuring the DoNotTrack policy symmetrically in both directions.) felix #2982 (@neiljerram)

  Warning: This is an alpha preview release intended only for testing Kubernetes v1.22 changes and Control Groups v2 compatibility. Upgrading to or from this version is not supported.

  Warning: Kubernetes v1.22 removed certain APIs and features. More details are available in the upstream blog post.

  Warning: rpcbind is disabled by default to mitigate security risks. Any application which requires it will no longer work. NFS v2 and v3 are such applications and are no longer supported. Please, check if any you have any application which depend on rpcbind before you upgrade.

  Known Issues

  • Java applications are unable to identify memory limits when using a JRE prior to v15 in a Control Groups v2 environment. Support was added in JRE v15 and later. More details are available in the upstream issue. We recommend using the latest LTS JRE available (currently v17) to ensure continued compatibility with future releases.

  Control Groups v1 To ensure a smooth transition, in case you need time to modify applications to make them compatible with Control Groups v2, we provide a mechanism that will allow using Control Groups v1 on specific node pools. More details are available in our documentation.

  kubernetes 1.22.6

  What’s New (Major Themes)

  Removal of several beta Kubernetes APIs

  A number of APIs are no longer serving specific Beta versions in favour of the GA version of those APIs. All existing objects can be interacted with via general availability APIs. This removal includes beta versions of ValidatingWebhookConfiguration, MutatingWebhookConfiguration, CustomResourceDefinition, APIService, TokenReview, SubjectAccessReview, CertificateSigningRequest, Lease, Ingress, and IngressClass APIs. For the full list check out Deprecated API Migration Guide and the blog post Kubernetes API and Feature Removals In 1.22: Here’s What You Need To Know.

  Kubernetes release cadence change

  We all have to adapt to change in our lives, and especially so in the past year. The Kubernetes release team was also affected from the COVID-19 pandemic and has listened to its user base regarding the number of releases in a calendar year. From April 23, 2021 it was made official that Kubernetes release cadence has reduced from 4 releases per year to 3 releases per year.

  You can read more in the official blog post Kubernetes Release Cadence Change: Here’s What You Need To Know.

  External credential providers

  Kubernetes client credential plugins have been in beta since 1.11, a few eons ago. With the release of Kubernetes 1.22, this feature set graduates to stable. The GA feature set includes improved support for plugins that provide interactive login flows. This release also contains a number of bug fixes to the feature set. Aspiring plugin authors can look at sample-exec-plugin as a way to get started.

  Related to this topic, the in-tree Azure and GCP authentication plugins have been deprecated in favor of out-of-tree implementations.

  Server-side Apply graduates to GA

  Server-side Apply is a new object merge algorithm, as well as tracking of field ownership, running on the Kubernetes API server. Server-side Apply helps users and controllers manage their resources via declarative configurations. It allows them to create and/or modify their objects declaratively, simply by sending their fully specified intent. After being in beta for a couple releases, Server-side Apply is now generally available.

  Cluster Storage Interface graduations

  CSI support for Windows nodes moves to GA in the 1.22 release. In Kubernetes v1.22, Windows privileged containers are only an alpha feature. To allow using CSI storage on Windows nodes, CSIProxy enables CSI node plugins to be deployed as unprivileged pods, using the proxy to perform privileged storage operations on the node.

  Another feature moving to GA in v1.22 is CSI Service Account Token support. This feature allows CSI drivers to use pods’ bound service account tokens instead of a more privileged identity. It also provides control over to re-publishing these volumes, so that short-lived tokens can be refreshed.

  SIG Windows development tools

  To grow the developer community, SIG Windows released multiple tools. The new tools support multiple CNI providers (Antrea, Calico), can run on multiple platforms (any vagrant compatible provider, such as Hyper-V, VirtualBox, or vSphere). There is also a new way to run bleeding edge Windows features from scratch by compiling the windows kubelet and kube-proxy, then using them along with daily builds of other Kubernetes components.

  Deploy a more secure control plane with kubeadm

  A new alpha feature allows running the kubeadm control plane components as non-root users. This is a long requested security measure in kubeadm. To try it you must enable the kubeadm-specific RootlessControlPlane feature gate. When you deploy a cluster using this alpha feature, your control plane runs with lower privileges.

  A new v1beta3 configuration API. It iterates over v1beta2 by adding some long requested features and deprecating some existing ones. The V1beta3 is now the preferred API version; the v1beta2 API also remains available and is not yet deprecated.

  etcd moves to version 3.5.0

  Kubernetes’ default backend storage, etcd, has a new release 3.5.0 and the community embraced it. The new release comes with improvements to the Security, performance, monitoring and developer experience. There are numerous bug fixes to lease objects causing memory leaks, and compact operation causing deadlocks and more. A couple of new features are also introduced like the migration to structured logging and build in log rotation. The release comes with a detailed future roadmap to implement a solution to traffic overload. A full and detailed list of changes can be read in the 3.5.0 release announcement.

  Kubernetes Node system swap support

  Every system administrator or Kubernetes user has been in the same boat regarding setting up and using Kubernetes: disable swap space. With the release of Kubernetes 1.22, alpha support is available to run nodes with swap memory. This change lets administrators opt in to configuring swap on Linux nodes, treating a portion of block storage as additional virtual memory.

  Cluster-wide seccomp defaults

  A new alpha feature gate SeccompDefault has been added to the kubelet, together with a corresponding command line flag --seccomp-default and kubelet configuration. If both are enabled, then the kubelet’s behavior changes for pods that don’t explicitly set a seccomp profile. With cluster-wide seccomp defaults, the kubelet uses the RuntimeDefault seccomp profile by default, rather than than Unconfined. This allows enhancing the default cluster wide workload security of the Kubernetes deployment. Security administrators will now sleep better knowing there is some security by default for the workloads.

  To learn more about the feature, please refer to the official seccomp tutorial.

  Quality of Service for memory resources

  Originally, Kubernetes used the v1 cgroups API. With that design, the QoS class for a pod only applied to CPU resources (such as cpu_shares). The Kubernetes cgroup manager uses memory.limit_in_bytes in v1 cgroups to limit the memory capacity for a container, and uses oom_scores to recommend an order for killing container processes if an out-of-memory event occurs. This implementation has shortcomings: for Guaranteed pods, memory can not be fully reserved, and the page cache is at risk of being recycled. For Burstable pods, overcommitting memory (setting request less than limit ) could increase the risk of a container being killed when the Linux kernel detects an out of memory condition.

  As an alpha feature, Kubernetes v1.22 can use the cgroups v2 API to control memory allocation and isolation. This feature is designed to improve workload and node availability when there is contention for memory resources.

  API changes and improvements for ephemeral containers

  The API used to create Ephemeral Containers changed in 1.22. The Ephemeral Containers feature is alpha and disabled by default, and the new API does not work with clients that attempt to use the old API.

  For stable features, the kubectl tool follows the Kubernetes version skew policy; however, kubectl v1.21 and older do not support the new API for ephemeral containers. Users who create ephemeral containers using kubectl debug should note that kubectl version 1.22 will attempt to fall back to the old API; older versions of kubectl will not work with cluster versions of 1.22 or later. Please update kubectl to 1.22 if you wish to use kubectl debug with a mix of cluster versions.

  Known Issues

  CPU and Memory manager are not working correctly for Guaranteed Pods with multiple containers

  A regression bug was found where guaranteed Pods with multiple containers do not work properly with set allocations for CPU, Memory, and Device manager. The fix will be availability in coming releases.

  CSIMigrationvSphere feature gate has not migrated to new CRD APIs

  If CSIMigrationvSphere feature gate is enabled, user should not upgrade to Kubernetes v1.22. vSphere CSI Driver does not support Kubernetes v1.22 yet because it uses v1beta1 CRD APIs. Support for v1.22 will be added at a later release. Check the following document for supported Kubernetes releases for a given vSphere CSI Driver version.

  Urgent Upgrade Notes

  (No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

  • Audit log files are now created with a mode of 0600. Existing file permissions will not be changed. If you need the audit file to be readable by a non-root user, you can pre-create the file with the desired permissions. (#95387, @JAORMX) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]
  • CSI migration of AWS EBS volumes requires AWS EBS CSI driver ver. 1.0 that supports allowAutoIOPSPerGBIncrease parameter in StorageClass. (#101082, @jsafrane)
  • Conformance image is now built with Distroless. Users running Conformance testing should rely on container entrypoint instead of manual invocation to /run_e2e.sh or /gorunner, as they are now deprecated and will be removed in 1.25 release. Invoking ginkgo and e2e.test are still supported through overriding entrypoint (docker) or defining container spec.command (kubernetes). (#99178, @wilsonehusin)
  • Default StreamingProxyRedirects to disabled. If there is a >= 2 version skew between master and nodes, and the old nodes were enabling --redirect-container-streaming, this will break them. In this case, the StreamingProxyRedirects can still be manually enabled. (#101647, @pacoxu)
  • Intree volume plugin scaleIO support has been completely removed from Kubernetes. (#101685, @Jiawei0227)
  • Kubeadm: remove the automatic detection and matching of cgroup drivers for Docker. For new clusters if you have not configured the cgroup driver explicitly you might get a failure in the kubelet on driver mismatch (kubeadm clusters should be using the systemd driver). Also remove the IsDockerSystemdCheck preflight check (warning) that checks if the Docker cgroup driver is set to systemd. Ideally such detection / coordination should be on the side of CRI implementers and the kubelet (tracked here). Please see the page on how to configure cgroup drivers with kubeadm manually (#99647, @neolit123)
  • Kubeadm: the flag --cri-socket is no longer allowed in a mixture with the flag --config. Please use the kubeadm configuration for setting the CRI socket for a node using {Init|Join}Configuration.nodeRegistration.criSocket. (#101600, @KofClubs)
  • Newly provisioned PVs by Azure disk will no longer have the beta FailureDomain label. Azure disk volume plugin will start to have GA topology label instead. (#101534, @kassarl)
  • Scheduler’s CycleState now embeds internal read/write locking inside its Read() and Write() functions. Meanwhile, Lock() and Unlock() function are removed. Scheduler plugin developers are now required to remove CycleState#Lock() and CycleState#Unlock(). Just simply use Read() and Write() as they’re natively thread-safe now. (#101542, @Huang-Wei)
  • The CSIMigrationVSphereComplete feature flag is removed. InTreePluginvSphereUnregister will be the way moving forward. (#101272, @Jiawei0227)
  • The flag --experimental-patches is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. You can migrate to using the new flag --patches. Add a new field {Init|Join}Configuration.patches.directory that can be used for the same purpose. For init and join it is now recommended that you migrate to configure patches via {Init|Join}Configuration.patches.directory. For the time being, these flags can be mixed with --config, but that might change in the future. On a command line, the last *patches flag takes precedence over previous flags and the value in config. kubeadm upgrade --patches will continue to be the only available option, since upgrade does not support a configuration file yet. (#103063, @neolit123)

  Important Security Information

  This release contains changes that address the following vulnerabilities:

  CVE-2021-25741: Symlink Exchange Can Allow Host Filesystem Access

  • kubelet v1.22.0 - v1.22.1
  • kubelet v1.21.0 - v1.21.4
  • kubelet v1.20.0 - v1.20.10
  • kubelet <= v1.19.14

  Fixed Versions:

  • kubelet v1.22.2
  • kubelet v1.21.5
  • kubelet v1.20.11
  • kubelet v1.19.15

  This vulnerability was reported by Fabricio Voznika and Mark Wolters of Google.

  CVSS Rating: High (8.8) CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

  Deprecation

  • Controller-manager: the following flags have no effect and would be removed in v1.24:

    • --port
    • --address The insecure port flags --port may only be set to 0 now.

    In addtion, please be careful that:

    • controller-manager MUST start with --authorization-kubeconfig and --authentication-kubeconfig correctly set to get authentication/authorization working.
    • liveness/readiness probes to controller-manager MUST use HTTPS now, and the default port has been changed to 10257.
    • Applications that fetch metrics from controller-manager should use a dedicated service account which is allowed to access nonResourceURLs /metrics. (#96216, @knight42) [SIG API Machinery, Cloud Provider, Instrumentation and Testing]

  • Deprecate --record flag in kubectl. The --record flag is being replaced with the mechanism which annotates HTTP requests with kubectl command details. (#102873, @soltysh)

  • E2e.test: removed the --viper-config flag. If you were previously using this to pass flags to e2e.test via a file, you will need to pass them directly on the command line, e.g. e2e.test --e2e-output-dir. (#102598, @dims)

  • For kubeadm: remove the ClusterStatus API from v1beta3 and its management in the kube-system/kubeadm-config ConfigMap. This method of keeping track of what API endpoints exists in the cluster was replaced (in a prior release) by a method to annotate the etcd Pods that kubeadm creates in “stacked etcd” clusters. The following CLI sub-phases are deprecated and are now a NO-OP: for kubeadm join: “control-plane-join/update-status”, for kubeadm reset: “update-cluster-status”. Unless you are using these phases explicitly, you should not be affected. (#101915, @neolit123)

  • Kubeadm: remove the deprecated --csr-only and --csr-dir flags from kubeadm init phase certs. Deprecate the same flags under kubeadm certs renew. In both the cases the command kubeadm certs generate-csr should be used instead. (#102108, @neolit123)

  • Kubeadm: Remove the deprecated command kubeadm alpha kubeconfig. Please use kubeadm kubeconfig instead. (#101938, @knight42)

  • Kubeadm: Remove the deprecated hyperkube image support in v1beta3. This implies removal of ClusterConfiguration.UseHyperKubeImage. (#101537, @neolit123)

  • Kubeadm: Remove the field ClusterConfiguration.DNS.Type in v1beta3 since CoreDNS is the only supported DNS type. (#101547, @neolit123)

  • Kubeadm: remove the deprecated command kubeadm config view. A replacement for this command is kubectl get cm -n kube-system kubeadm-config -o=jsonpath="{.data.ClusterConfiguration}" (#102071, @neolit123)

  • Kubeadm: remove the deprecated flag ‘–image-pull-timeout’ for ‘kubeadm upgrade apply’ command (#102093, @SataQiu) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

  • Kubeadm: remove the deprecated flag --insecure-port from the kube-apiserver manifest that kubeadm manages. The flag had no effect since 1.20, since the insecure serving of the component was disabled in the same version. (#102121, @pacoxu)

  • Kubeadm: remove the deprecated kubeadm API v1beta1. Introduce a new kubeadm API v1beta3. See kubeadm/v1beta3 for a list of changes since v1beta2. Note that v1beta2 is not yet deprecated, but will be in a future release. (#101129, @neolit123)

  • Newly provisioned PVs by vSphere in-tree plugin will no longer have the beta FailureDomain label. vSphere volume plugin will start to have GA topology label (#102414, @divyenpatel)

  • Removal of the CSI NodePublish path by the kubelet is deprecated. This must be done by the CSI plugin according to the CSI spec. (#101441, @dobsonj)

  • Remove support for the Service topologyKeys field (alpha) and the kube-proxy implementation of it. This field was deprecated several cycles ago. This functionality is replaced by the combination of automatic topology hints per-endpoint (alpha) and the Service internalTrafficPolicy field (alpha). (#102412, @andrewsykim)

  • The PodUnknown phase is now deprecated. (#95286, @SergeyKanzhelev)

  • The storageos, quobyte and flocker storage volume plugins are deprecated and will be removed in a later release. (#101773, @Jiawei0227)

  • The deprecated flag --hard-pod-affinity-symmetric-weight and --scheduler-name have been removed from kube-scheduler. Use ComponentConfig instead to configure those parameters. (#102805, @ahg-g)

  • The feature Dynamic Kubelet Configuration is deprecated and kubelet will report warning when the flag --dynamic-config-dir is used. Feature gate DynamicKubeletConfig is disabled out of the box and needs to be explicitly enabled. (#102966, @SergeyKanzhelev) [SIG Cloud Provider, Instrumentation and Node]

  • The in-tree azure and gcp auth plugins have been deprecated. The https://github.com/Azure/kubelogin and gcloud commands serve as out-of-tree replacements via the kubectl/client-go credential plugin mechanism. (#102181, @enj) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]

  • The ingress v1beta1 has been deprecated. (#102030, @aojea)

  API Change

  • A new score extension for NodeResourcesFit plugin that merges the functionality of NodeResourcesLeastAllocated, NodeResourcesMostAllocated, RequestedToCapacityRatio plugins, which are marked as deprecated as of v1beta2. In v1beta1, the three plugins can still be used in v1beta1 but not at the same time with the score extension of NodeResourcesFit. (#101822, @yuzhiquan)

  • A value of Auto is now a valid for the service.kubernetes.io/topology-aware-hints annotation. (#100728, @robscott)

  • Add DataSourceRef alpha field to PVC spec, which allows contents other than PVCs and VolumeSnapshots to be data sources. (#103276, @bswartz)

  • Add PersistentVolumeClaimDeletePoilcy to StatefulSet API. (#99378, @mattcary)

  • Add a new Priority and Fairness rule that exempts all probes (/readyz, /healthz, /livez) to prevent restarting of healthy kube-apiserver instance by kubelet. (#100678, @tkashem)

  • Add alpha support for HostProcess containers on Windows (#99576, @marosset) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Node, Testing and Windows]

  • Add distributed tracing to the kube-apiserver. It is can be enabled with the feature gate APIServerTracing (#94942, @dashpole)

  • Add three metrics to the job controller to monitor if a job works in healthy condition. IndexedJob has been promoted to Beta. (#101292, @AliceZhang2016)

  • Added field .status.uncountedTerminatedPods to the Job resource. This field is used by the job controller to keep track of finished pods before adding them to the Job status counters. Pods created by the job controller get the finalizer batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking Jobs that are tracked using this mechanism get the annotation batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking. This is a temporary measure. Two releases after this feature graduates to beta, the annotation won’t be added to Jobs anymore. (#98817, @alculquicondor)

  • Added new kubelet alpha feature SeccompDefault. This feature enables falling back to the RuntimeDefault (former runtime/default) seccomp profile if nothing else is specified in the pod/container SecurityContext or the pod annotation level. To use the feature, enable the feature gate as well as set the kubelet configuration option SeccompDefault (--seccomp-default) to true. (#101943, @saschagrunert) [SIG Node]

  • Adds the ReadWriteOncePod access mode for PersistentVolumes and PersistentVolumeClaims. Restricts volume access to a single pod on a single node. (#102028, @chrishenzie)

  • Alpha swap support can now be enabled on Kubernetes nodes with the NodeSwapEnabled feature flag. See KEP-2400 for details. (#102823, @ehashman)

  • Because of the implementation logic of time.Format in golang, the displayed time zone is not consistent. (#102366, @cndoit18)

  • Corrected the documentation for escaping dollar signs in a container’s env, command and args property. (#101916, @MartinKanters) [SIG Apps]

  • Enable MaxSurge for DaemonSet by default. (#101742, @ravisantoshgudimetla)

  • Enforce the ReadWriteOncePod PVC access mode during scheduling (#103082, @chrishenzie)

  • Ephemeral containers are now allowed to configure a securityContext that differs from that of the Pod. Cluster administrators should ensure that security policy controllers support EphemeralContainers before enabling this feature in clusters. (#99023, @verb)

  • Exec plugin authors can override default handling of standard input via new interactiveMode kubeconfig field. (#99310, @ankeesler)

  • If someone had the ProbeTerminationGracePeriod alpha feature enabled in 1.21, they should update/delete any workloads/pods with probe terminationGracePeriods < 1 before upgrading (#103245, @wzshiming)

  • Improved parsing of label selectors (#102188, @alculquicondor) [SIG API Machinery]

  • Introduce minReadySeconds api to the StatefulSets. (#100842, @ravisantoshgudimetla)

  • Introducing Memory quality of service support with cgroups v2 (Alpha). The MemoryQoS feature is now in Alpha. This allows kubelet running with cgroups v2 to set memory QoS at container, pod and QoS level to protect and guarantee better memory quality. This feature can be enabled through feature gate Memory QoS. (#102970, @borgerli)

  • Kube API server accepts Impersonate-Uid header to impersonate a user with a specific UID, in the same way that you can currently use Impersonate-User, Impersonate-Group and Impersonate-Extra. (#99961, @margocrawf)

  • Kube-apiserver: --service-account-issuer can be specified multiple times now, to enable non-disruptive change of issuer. (#101155, @zshihang) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Node and Testing]

  • Kube-controller-manager: the --horizontal-pod-autoscaler-use-rest-clients flag and Heapster support in the horizontal pod autoscaler, deprecated since 1.12, is removed. (#90368, @serathius)

  • Kube-scheduler: a plugin enabled in a v1beta2 configuration file takes precedence over the default configuration for that plugin. This simplifies enabling default plugins with custom configuration without needing to explicitly disable those default plugins. (#99582, @chendave)

  • New node-high priority-level has been added to Suggested API Priority and Fairness configuration.(#101151, @mborsz)

  • NodeSwapEnabled feature flag was renamed to NodeSwap

    The flag was only available in the 1.22.0-beta.1 release, and the new flag should be used going forward. (#103553, @ehashman) [SIG Node]

  • Omit comparison with boolean constant (#101523, @chuntaochen) [SIG CLI and Cloud Provider]

  • Removed the feature flag for probe-level termination grace period from Kubelet. If a user wants to disable this feature on already created pods, they will have to delete and recreate the pods. (#103168, @raisaat) [SIG Apps and Node]

  • Revert addition of Add PersistentVolumeClaimDeletePoilcy to StatefulSetAPI. (#103747, @mattcary)

  • Scheduler could be configured to consider new resources beside CPU and memory, GPU for example, for the score plugin of NodeResourcesBalancedAllocation. (#101946, @chendave) [SIG Scheduling]

  • Server Side Apply now treats all Selector fields as atomic (meaning the entire selector is managed by a single writer and updated together), since they contain interrelated and inseparable fields that do not merge in intuitive ways. (#97989, @Danil-Grigorev) [SIG API Machinery]

  • Suspend Job feature graduated to beta. Added the action label to Job controller sync metrics job_sync_total and job_sync_duration_seconds. (#102022, @adtac)

  • The API documentation for the DaemonSet’s spec.updateStrategy.rollingUpdate.maxUnavailable field was corrected to state that the value is rounded up. (#101296, @Miciah)

  • The CSIServiceAccountToken graduates to Ga and is unconditionally enabled. (#103001, @zshihang)

  • The CertificateSigningRequest.certificates.k8s.io API supports an optional expirationSeconds field to allow the client to request a particular duration for the issued certificate. The default signer implementations provided by the Kubernetes controller manager will honor this field as long as it does not exceed the –cluster-signing-duration flag. (#99494, @enj)

  • The EndpointSlicen Mirroring controller no longer mirrors the last-applied-configuration annotation created by kubectl to update EndpointSlices. (#102731, @sharmarajdaksh)

  • The NetworkPolicyEndPort is graduated to beta and is enabled by default. (#102834, @rikatz)

  • The PodDeletionCost feature has been promoted to beta, and enabled by default. (#101080, @ahg-g)

  • The Server Side Apply treats certain structs as atomic. Meaning the entire selector field is managed by a single writer and updated together. (#100684, @Jefftree)

  • The ServiceAppProtocol feature gate has been removed. It reached GA in Kubernetes (#103190, @robscott)

  • The TerminationGracePeriodSeconds on pod specs and container probes should not be negative. Negative values of TerminationGracePeriodSeconds will be treated as the value 1s on the delete path. Immutable field validation will be relaxed in order to update negative values. In a future release, negative values will not be permitted. (#98866, @wzshiming)

  • The kube-scheduler component config v1beta2 API available Three scheduler plugins deprecated (NodeLabel, ServiceAffinity, NodePreferAvoidPods). (#99597, @adtac)

  • A system-cluster-critical pod should not get a low OOM Score.

    As of now both system-node-critical and system-cluster-critical pods have -997 OOM score, making them one of the last processes to be OOMKilled. By definition system-cluster-critical pods can be scheduled elsewhere if there is a resource crunch on the node where as system-node-critical pods cannot be rescheduled. This was the reason for system-node-critical to have higher priority value than system-cluster-critical. This change allows only system-node-critical priority class to have low OOMScore.

    action required If the user wants to have the pod to be OOMKilled last and the pod has system-cluster-critical priority class, it has to be changed to system-node-critical priority class to preserve the existing behavior (#99729, @ravisantoshgudimetla)

  • API Server tracing can now trace re-entrant api requests. (#103218, @dashpole) [SIG API Machinery, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle and Instrumentation]

  • Add unified map on CRI to support cgroup v2. Refer to https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec/blob/master/config-linux.md#unified. (#102578, @payall4u)

  • Added BinaryData description to kubectl describe command. (#100568, @lauchokyip)

  • Added a new metric apiserver_flowcontrol_request_concurrency_in_use that shows the number of seats (concurrency) occupied by the currently executing requests in the API Priority and Fairness system. (#102795, @tkashem)

  • Added field-selector option for kubectl top pod (#102155, @lauchokyip) [SIG CLI]

  • Added new metrics about API Priority and Fairness. Each one has a label priority_level. The last two also have a label bound taking values min and `max.

  • Adding --restart-kubelet flag on E2E Node test suite (#97028, @knabben) [SIG Node and Testing]

  • Adds feature gate KubeletInUserNamespace which enables support for running kubelet in a user namespace.

    The user namespace has to be created before running kubelet. All the node components such as CRI need to be running in the same user namespace.

    When the feature gate is enabled, kubelet ignores errors that happens during setting the following sysctl values: vm.overcommit_memory, vm.panic_on_oom, kernel.panic, kernel.panic_on_oops, kernel.keys.root_maxkeys, kernel.keys.root_maxbytes. (These sysctl values for the host, not for the containers)

    kubelet also ignores an error during opening /dev/kmsg. This feature gate also allows kube-proxy to ignore an error during setting RLIMIT_NOFILE.

    This feature gate is especially useful for running Kubernetes inside Rootless Docker/Podman with kind or minikube. (#92863, @AkihiroSuda) [SIG Network, Node and Testing]

  • For kubeadm: add --validity-period flag for kubeadm kubeconfig user command. (#100907, @SataQiu)

  • Implement minReadySeconds for the StatefulSets. (#101316, @ravisantoshgudimetla)

  • Improve logging of APIService availability changes in kube-apiserver. (#101420, @sttts)

  • Introduce a feature gate DisableCloudProviders allowing to disable cloud-provider initialization in KAPI, KCM and kubelet. DisableCloudProviders FeatureGate is currently in Alpha, which means is currently disabled by default. Once the FeatureGate moves to beta, in-tree cloud providers would be disabled by default, and a user won’t be able to specify --cloud-provider=<aws|openstack|azure|gcp|vsphere> anymore to any of KCM, KAPI or kubelet. Only a ‘–cloud-provider=external’ would be allowed. CCM would have to run out-of-tree with CSI. (#100136, @Danil-Grigorev)

  • JSON logging format is no longer available by default in non-core Kubernetes Components and require owners to opt in. (#102869, @mengjiao-liu) [SIG API Machinery, Cluster Lifecycle and Instrumentation]

  • Kube-apiserver: the alpha PodSecurity feature can be enabled by passing --feature-gates=PodSecurity=true, and enables controlling allowed pods using namespace labels. See https://git.k8s.io/enhancements/keps/sig-auth/2579-psp-replacement for more details. (#103099, @liggitt) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Instrumentation, Release, Security and Testing]

  • Kube-proxy uses V1 EndpointSlices. (#103306, @swetharepakula)

  • Kubeadm: Add the RootlessControlPlane kubeadm specific feature gate (Alpha in 1.22, disabled by default). It can be used to enable an experimental feature that makes the control plane component static Pod containers for kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager, kube-scheduler and etcd to run as a non-root users. (#102158, @vinayakankugoyal)

  • Kubeadm: Set the seccompProfile to runtime/default in the PodSecurityContext of the control-plane components that run as static Pods. (#100234, @vinayakankugoyal)

  • Kubeadm: add a new field skipPhases to v1beta3 InitConfiguration and JoinConfiguration that can contain a list of phases to skip during “kubeadm init” and “kubeadm join”. The flag “–skip-phases” takes precedence over this field. (#101923, @neolit123)

  • Kubeadm: add the --dry-run flag to the control-plane phase of “kubeadm init”. (#102722, @vinayakankugoyal)

  • Kubeadm: add the imagePullPolicy field in the nodeRegistration section of InitConfiguration and JoinConfiguration in v1beta3. This allows the user to specify the image pull policy during “kubeadm init” and “kubeadm join”. The value of this field must be one of Always, IfNotPresent or Never. The default behavior continues to be IfNotPresent. (#102901, @wangyysde)

  • Kubeadm: during “kubeadm init/join/upgrade”, always default the cgroupDriver value in the KubeletConfiguration to systemd, unless the user was explicit about the value. See configure-cgroup-driver for more details. (#102133, @pacoxu)

  • Kubeadm: update CoreDNS to 1.8.4. Grant CoreDNS permissions to “list” and “watch” EndpointSlice objects to accommodate dual-stack support. (#102466, @pacoxu)

  • Kubectl: add LAST RESTART column to kubectl get pods output. (#100142, @Ethyling)

  • NetworkPolicy validation framework support for windows. (#98077, @jayunit100)

  • New feature gate ExpandedDNSConfig is now available. This feature allows Kubernetes to have expanded DNS configuration. (#100651, @gjkim42)

  • New metrics: apiserver_kube_aggregator_x509_missing_san_total and apiserver_webhooks_x509_missing_san_total. This metric measures a number of connections to webhooks/aggregated API servers that use certificates without Subject Alternative Names. It being non-zero is a warning sign that these connections will stop functioning in the future since Golang is going to deprecate x509 certificate subject Common Names for server hostname verification. (#95396, @stlaz) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Instrumentation]

  • Node Problem Detector is now available for GCE Windows nodes. (#101539, @jeremyje) [SIG Cloud Provider, Node and Windows]

  • Promote Cronjobs storage version to batch/v1. (#102363, @mengjiao-liu)

  • Promote CronJobControllerV2 flag to GA, with removal in 1.23. (#102529, @soltysh)

  • Promote EndpointSliceTerminatingCondition to Beta. This enables the terminating and serving conditions for EndpointSlice by default. (#103596, @andrewsykim)

  • Run etcd as non-root on GCE provider (#100635, @cindy52)

  • Scheduler nows provides an option for plugin developers to move Pods to activeQ. (#103383, @Huang-Wei)

  • Secret values are now masked by default in kubectl diff output. (#96084, @loozhengyuan)

  • Services with externalTrafficPolicy: Local now support graceful termination when using the iptables or ipvs mode of kube-proxy with EndpointSlices enabled. Specifically, if a connection for such a service arrives on a node when there are no “Ready” endpoints for the service, but there is at least one Terminating pod for that service on the node, then kube-proxy will send the traffic to the Terminating pod rather than dropping it. This patches up a race condition between when a pod is killed and when the external load balancer notices that it has been killed. (#97238, @andrewsykim)

  • Shell completion has been migrated to Cobra’s go solution. kubectl is now smarter about disabling file completion when it does not apply. Furthermore, completion for the cp command does not show all files unless the user has started typing something. (#96087, @marckhouzam) [SIG CLI]

  • Some of the in-tree storage drivers indicate support for the MetricsProvider interface, but fail to configure this for BlockMode volumes. With a recent change, Kubelet will call GetMetrics() for BlockMode volumes, and the in-tree drivers that miss the support cause a Go panic. Now the in-tree storage drivers that support BlockMode volumes, will return the Capacity of the volume in the GetMetrics() call. (#101587, @nixpanic)

  • Support FakeClientset match subresource. (#100939, @wzshiming)

  • The “Leader Migration” now support a wildcard component name and the default value. (#102711, @jiahuif)

  • The CSI driver supports the NodeServiceCapability VOLUME_MOUNT_GROUP and the DelegateFSGroupToCSIDriver feature gate is enabled, kubelet will delegate applying FSGroup to the driver by passing it to NodeStageVolume and NodePublishVolume, regardless of what other FSGroup policies are set, this is an alpha feature. (#103244, @verult)

  • The Memory Manager feature graduates to Beta and it is enabled by default. (#101947, @cynepco3hahue)

  • The EmptyDir memory backed volumes are sized as the the minimum of pod allocatable memory on a host and an optional explicit user provided value. (#101048, @dims)

  • The HugePageStorageMediumSize feature graduates to GA and unconditionally enabled. Allowing unconditional usage of multiple sizes huge page resources on a container level. (#99144, @bart0sh)

  • The IngressClassNamespacedParams feature gate has graduated to beta and is enabled by default. This means IngressClass resource will now have two new fields - spec.paramters.namespace and spec.parameters.scope. (#101711, @hbagdi)

  • The LogarithmicScaleDown feature graduates to Beta and enabled by default. (#101767, @damemi)

  • The NamespaceDefaultLabelName is promoted to GA in this release. All Namespace API objects have a kubernetes.io/metadata.name label matching their metadata.name field to allow selecting any namespace by its name using a label selector. (#101342, @rosenhouse)

  • The ServiceInternalTrafficPolicy feature graduates to Beta and enable by default, which enables the internalTrafficPolicy field of Service by default. (#103462, @andrewsykim)

  • The ServiceLBNodePortControl graduates to Beta and is enabled by default. (#100412, @hanlins)

  • The SetHostnameAsFQDN graduates to GA and thus will be unconditionally disabled. (#101294, @javidiaz)

  • The WarningHeader feature is now GA and is unconditionally enabled. The apiserver_requested_deprecated_apis metric has graduated to stable status. The WarningHeader feature-gate is no longer operative and will be removed in v1.24. (#100754, @liggitt) [SIG API Machinery, Instrumentation and Testing]

  • The kubectl debug is able to create ephemeral containers in pre-1.22 clusters with the EphemeralContainers feature enabled. Note that versions of kubectl prior to 1.22 are unable to create ephemeral containers in clusters version 1.22 and greater due to an API change. (#103292, @verb)

  • The client-go credential plugins are now GA and are enabled by default. (#102890, @ankeesler)

  • The feature gate SSA graduated to GA in v1.22 and therefore is unconditionally enabled. (#100139, @Jefftree)

  • The job controller removes running pods when the number of completions is achieved. (#99963, @alculquicondor)

  • The kubeconfig is now exposed in the kube-scheduler framework handle. Out-of-tree plugins can leverage that to build CRD informers easily. (#100644, @Huang-Wei)

  • The new flag --chunk-size=SIZE for kubectl drain has been promoted to beta, and enabled by default. This flag may be used to alter the number of items or disable this feature when 0 is passed. (#100148, @KnVerey)

  • The new flag --chunk-size=SIZE has been added to kubectl describe. This flag may be used to alter the number of items or disable this feature when 0 is passed. (#101171, @KnVerey)

  • The pod resource API will provide memory manager metrics in the case when the memory manager feature gate is enabled, and the memory manager policy is static. (#101030, @cynepco3hahue)

  • The prefer nominated node graduates to Beta and enabld by default. (#102201, @chendave)

  • Update etcd version to 3.5.0-beta.3. (#102062, @serathius)

  • Fix: skip instance not found when decoupling vmss from lb (#105836, @nilo19) [SIG Cloud Provider]

  • Kubeadm: allow the “certs check-expiration” command to not require the existence of the cluster CA key (ca.key file) when checking the expiration of managed certificates in kubeconfig files. (#106930, @neolit123) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

  • Kubeadm: during execution of the “check expiration” command, treat the etcd CA as external if there is a missing etcd CA key file (etcd/ca.key) and perform the proper validation on certificates signed by the etcd CA. Additionally, make sure that the CA for all entries in the output table is included - for both certificates on disk and in kubeconfig files. (#106925, @neolit123) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

  • Respect grace period when updating static pods. (#106394, @gjkim42) [SIG Node and Testing]

  • Reverts graceful node shutdown to match 1.21 behavior of setting pods that have not yet successfully completed to “Failed” phase if the GracefulNodeShutdown feature is enabled in kubelet. The GracefulNodeShutdown feature is beta and must be explicitly configured via kubelet config to be enabled in 1.21+. This changes 1.22 and 1.23 behavior on node shutdown to match 1.21. If you do not want pods to be marked terminated on node shutdown in 1.22 and 1.23, disable the GracefulNodeShutdown feature. (#106899, @bobbypage) [SIG Node]

  • The kube-proxy sync_proxy_rules_iptables_total metric now gives the correct number of rules, rather than being off by one.

    Fixed multiple iptables proxy regressions introduced in 1.22:

    • When using Services with SessionAffinity, client affinity for an endpoint now gets broken when that endpoint becomes non-ready (rather than continuing until the endpoint is fully deleted).

    • Traffic to a service IP now starts getting rejected (as opposed to merely dropped) as soon as there are no longer any usable endpoints, rather than waiting until all of the terminating endpoints have terminated even when those terminating endpoints were not being used.

    • Chains for endpoints that won’t be used are no longer output to iptables, saving a bit of memory/time/cpu. (#106373, @aojea) [SIG Network]

  • Watch requests that are delegated to aggregated apiservers no longer reserve concurrency units (seats) in the API Priority and Fairness dispatcher for their entire duration. (#105827, @benluddy) [SIG API Machinery]

See this issue for more details: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/99305 (#102673, @jackfrancis) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

  • Kubeadm: when using a custom image repository for CoreDNS kubeadm now will append the coredns image name instead of coredns/coredns, thus restoring the behaviour existing before the v1.21 release. Users who rely on nested folder for the coredns image should set the clusterConfiguration.dns.imageRepository value including the nested path name (e.g using registry.company.xyz/coredns will force kubeadm to use registry.company.xyz/coredns/coredns image). No action is needed if using the default registry (k8s.gcr.io). (#102502, @ykakarap)

  • Kubelet: improve the performance when waiting for a synchronization of the node list with the kube-apiserver. (#99336, @neolit123)

  • Pods that are known to the kubelet to have previously been Running should not revert to Pending state, the kubelet will now infer a termination. (#102821, @ehashman)

  • Prevent Kubelet stuck in DiskPressure when imagefs.minReclaim is set (#99095, @maxlaverse)

  • Reduces delay initializing on non-AWS platforms docker runtime. (#93260, @nckturner) [SIG Cloud Provider]

  • Register/Deregister Targets in chunks for AWS TargetGroup (#101592, @M00nF1sh) [SIG Cloud Provider]

  • Removed /sbin/apparmor_parser requirement for the AppArmor host validation. This allows using AppArmor on distributions which ship the binary in a different path. (#97968, @saschagrunert) [SIG Node and Testing]

  • Renames the timeout field for the DelegatingAuthenticationOptions to TokenRequestTimeout and set the timeout only for the token review client. Previously the timeout was also applied to watches making them reconnecting every 10 seconds. (#100959, @p0lyn0mial)

  • Reorganized iptables rules to reduce rules in KUBE-SERVICES and KUBE-NODEPORTS. (#96959, @tssurya)

  • Support correct sorting for cpu, memory, storage, ephemeral-storage, hugepages, and attachable-volumes. (#100435, @lauchokyip)

  • Switch scheduler to generate the merge patch on pod status instead of the full pod (#103133, @marwanad) [SIG Scheduling]

  • The EndpointSlice IP validation now matches Endpoints IP validation. (#101084, @robscott)

  • The kube-controller-manager' sets the upper-bound timeout limit for outgoing requests to 70s. Previously (#99358, @p0lyn0mial)

  • The kube-proxy log now shows the “Skipping topology aware endpoint filtering since no hints were provided for zone” warning under the right conditions. (#101857, @dervoeti)

  • The kubectl create service now respects the namespace flag. (#101005, @zxh326)

  • The kubectl get now truncates multi-line strings to avoid breaking printing (#103514, @soltysh)

  • The kubectl wait --for=delete command now ignores the not found error correctly. (#96702, @lingsamuel)

  • The kubelet now reports distinguishes log messages about certificate rotation for its client cert and server cert separately to make debugging problems with one or the other easier. (#101252, @smarterclayton)

  • The serviceOwnsFrontendIP shouldn’t report error when the public IP doesn’t match. (#102516, @nilo19)

  • The system:aggregate-to-edit role no longer includes write access to the Endpoints API. For new Kubernetes 1.22 clusters, the edit and admin roles will no longer include that access in newly created Kubernetes 1.22 clusters. This will have no affect on existing clusters upgrading to Kubernetes 1.22. To retain write access to Endpoints in the aggregated edit and admin roles for newly created 1.22 clusters, refer to https://github.com/kubernetes/website/pull/29025. (#103704, @robscott) [SIG Auth and Network]

  • The conformance tests:

    • Services should serve multiport endpoints from pods
    • Services should serve a basic endpoint from pods were only validating the API objects, not performing any validation on the actual Services implementation. Those tests now validate that the Services under test are able to forward traffic to the endpoints. (#101709, @aojea) [SIG Network and Testing]

  • The current behavior for Services that IPFamilyPolicy set as PreferDualstack. The current behavior when the cluster is upgraded to dual-stack is:

    • Services that have been set to IPFamilyPolicy = PreferDualstack will be upgraded when the service object is updated. e.g., when a user change a label.

    This behavior will change to:

    • Services that have been set IPFamilyPolicy = PreferDualstack will not be upgraded when the service object is updated. User can still change policy, type etc and existing behaviors remain the same. (#102898, @khenidak) [SIG Network and Testing]

  • The reason and message fields for pod status are no longer reset unless the phase also changes. (#103785, @smarterclayton) [SIG Node]

  • When DisableAcceleratorUsageMetrics is set, do not collect accelerator metrics using cAdvisor. (#101712, @SergeyKanzhelev) [SIG Instrumentation and Node]

  • YAML documents separators ("—") can now be followed by whitespace and comments ("# ….") on the same line. This fixes a bug where documents starting with a comment after the separator were ignored. Other types of content on the same line will result in an error. (#103457, @codearky) [SIG API Machinery]

  Bug fixes

  • SDK: Fixed build error popping up in the new SDK Container because policycoreutils used the wrong ROOT to update the SELinux store (flatcar-linux/coreos-overlay#1502)
  • Fixed leak of SELinux policy store to the root filesystem top directory due to wrong store path in policycoreutils instead of /var/lib/selinux (flatcar-linux/Flatcar#596)
  • Ensured that the /run/xtables.lock coordination file exists for modifications of the xtables backend from containers (must be bind-mounted) or the iptables-legacy binaries on the host (flatcar-linux/init#57)
  • dev container: Fix github URL for coreos-overlay and portage-stable to use repos from flatcar-linux org directly instead of relying on redirects from the kinvolk org. This fixes checkouts with emerge-gitclone inside dev-container. (flatcar-linux/scripts#194)
  • SDK: Fixed build error popping up in the new SDK Container because policycoreutils used the wrong ROOT to update the SELinux store (flatcar-linux/coreos-overlay#1502)
  • arm64: the Polkit service does not crash anymore. (flatcar-linux/Flatcar#156)
  • toolbox: fixed support for multi-layered docker images (toolbox#5)
  • Run emergency.target on ignition/torcx service unit failure in dracut (bootengine#28)
  • Fix vim warnings on missing file, when built with USE=”minimal” (portage-stable#260)
  • The Torcx profile docker-1.12-no got fixed to reference the current Docker version instead of 19.03 which wasn’t found on the image, causing Torcx to fail to provide Docker (PR#1456)
  • Use https protocol instead of git for Github URLs (flatcar-linux/coreos-overlay#1394)

  Changes

  • Backported elf support for iproute2 (flatcar-linux/coreos-overlay#1256)
  • Added GPIO support (coreos-overlay#1236)
  • Enabled SELinux in permissive mode on ARM64 (coreos-overlay#1245)
  • The iptables command uses the nftables kernel backend instead of the iptables backend, you can also migrate to using the nft tool instead of iptables. Containers with iptables binaries that use the iptables backend will result in mixing both kernel backends which is supported but you have to look up the rules separately (on the host you can use the iptables-legacy and friends).
  • Added missing SELinux rule as initial step to resolve Torcx unpacking issue (coreos-overlay#1426)

  calico 3.21.3

  BGP Improvements

  For users of BGP you can now view the status of your BGP routers, including session status, RIB / FIB contents, and agent health via the new CalicoNodeStatus API. See the API documentation for more details.

  In addition, you can control BGP advertisement of certain prefixes using the new disableBGPExport option on each IP pool, allowing greater control of your route sharing scheme.

  Pull requests:

  • Added Calico node status resource (CalicoNodeStatus) which represents a collection of status information for a node that Calico reports back to the user for use during troubleshooting. libcalico-go #1502 (@song-jiang)
  • Report node BGP status from calico/node. node #1234 (@song-jiang)
  • Add new syncer for BGP status API. typha #662 (@song-jiang)
  • Don’t export BGP routes for IP pools that have disableBGPExport==true confd #647 (@coutinhop)

  Service-based network policy improvements

  In v3.20, we introduced egress policy rules that can match on Kubernetes services. In v3.21, we improved upon that in two ways. First, you can now use service matches in Calico NetworkPolicy and GlobalNetworkPolicy ingress rules. Second, you can now use service-based network policy rules on Windows nodes.

  Pull requests:

  • Policy ingress rules now support service selectors. felix #3024 (@mgleung)
  • Windows data plane support for Service-based network policy rules felix #2917 (@caseydavenport)
  • Allow services to be specified in the Source field of Ingress rules libcalico-go #1517 (@mgleung)

  Option to run Calico as non-privileged and non-root

  Calico can now optionally run in non-privileged and non-root mode, with some limitations. See the documentation for more information.

  Pull requests:

  • Change node and supporting binary permissions so that they can be run as a non-root user node #1224 (@mgleung)
  • CNI plugin now sets route_localnet=1 for container interfaces cni-plugin #1168 (@mgleung)
  • CNI plugins now have SUID bit set in order to run as non-root cni-plugin #1168 (@mgleung)

  IPReservations API

  You can use the new IPReservations API to reserve certain IP addresses so that they will not be used by Calico IPAM. This allows for fine-grained control of the IP space in your cluster.

  Pull requests:

  • Add support for IPReservations libcalico-go #1509 (@fasaxc)

  Bug fixes

  • Fix a serious regression introduced in v3.21.0 where the datastore watcher could get stuck and report stale information in clusters with >500 policies/pods/etc. The bug was triggered by needing to do a resync (for example after an etcd compaction) when there were enough resources to trigger the list pager. calico #5332 (@robbrockbank)
  • Pass ExceptUpgradeService param to stop-calico.ps1 as well node #1372 (@lmm)
  • Restrict Typha server to FIPS compliant cipher suites. typha #696 (@caseydavenport)
  • Fix log spam from Calico upgrade service for Windows node #1343 (@song-jiang)
  • Increase timeout for setting NetworkUnavailable on shutdown node #1341 (@caseydavenport)
  • Fix potential panic and memory leak in kube-controllers caused by adding and subsequently deleting IPAM blocks kube-controllers #912 (@caseydavenport)
  • IPAM GC correctly handles multiple IP addresses allocated with the same handle ID. kube-controllers #903 (@caseydavenport)
  • Fix bug where invalid port structures were being sent to Felix, preventing pods with hostPorts specified from working. libcalico-go #1545 (@caseydavenport)
  • Downgrade repetitive info level logging in calico/node autodetection code node #1237 (@caseydavenport)
  • Updated ubi base images and CentOS repos to stop CVE false positives from being reported. node #1136 (@coutinhop)
  • Fixed typo in umount command pod2daemon #64 (@ScheererJ)
  • Fixes this bug which caused WireGuard stats to be collected even when WireGuard was disabled. Additionally, the version of the wgctrl dependency has been updated as the previous version caused thread leaks. felix #3057 (@mikestephen)
  • Fix blackhole route table interface matches to handle empty interface regexes. felix #3007 (@robbrockbank)
  • Fix slow performance when updating a Kubernetes namespace when there are many Pods (and in turn, slow startup performance when there are many namespaces). felix #2964 (@fasaxc)
  • Close race condition that could result in an extra IPAM block being allocated to a node. libcalico-go #1488 (@caseydavenport)
  • Fix that podIP annotation could be incorrectly clobbered for stateful set pods: https://github.com/projectcalico/calico/issues/4710 libcalico-go #1472 (@fasaxc)
  • Fix removal of old CNI configuration on name-change cni-plugin #1153 (@caseydavenport)
  • Readiness depends on all syncers typha #613 (@robbrockbank)
  • Exclude RR nodes from BGP full mesh confd #619 (@coutinhop)
  • Fixed a bug in ExternalTrafficPolicy=Local that lead to connection stalling. felix #3015 (@tomastigera)
  • Fixed broken connections when client used the same port to connect to the same backed via a nodeport on different nodes. felix #2983 (@tomastigera)
  • The eBPF mode implementation of DoNotTrack policy was incorrectly allowing an inbound connection through a HostEndpoint, when the HostEndpoint had DoNotTrack policy for the ingress direction but not for egress. For precise compatibility with Calico’s established DoNotTrack semantics, that connection should be disallowed, and now is. (Because of the lack of connection tracking, successful use of DoNotTrack policy to allow flows requires configuring the DoNotTrack policy symmetrically in both directions.) felix #2982 (@neiljerram)

  Other changes

If you already specify --aws-batch-change-interval or --aws-zones-cache-duration, please migrate to the new values aws.batchChangeInterval and aws.zonesCacheDuration.

  Added

  • Allow to set --aws-batch-change-interval through aws.batchChangeInterval value. Default 10s.
  • Allow to set --aws-zones-cache-duration through aws.zonesCacheDuration value. Default 3h.

  Changed

• Feb 8, 2022 Workload cluster releases for Azure releases v20.0.0-alpha1

  This release provides initial support for creating clusters with Cluster API for Azure (CAPZ).

  Warning: This is an alpha preview release intended only for testing cluster creation. Upgrading to or from this version is not supported.

  Warning: There is a breaking change if kubectl is used manage machine pools. The MachinePool resource was moved to a new Kubernetes API Group named machinepools.cluster.x-k8s.io from machinepools.exp.cluster.x-k8s.io. The full resource path has to be specified when using kubectl-gs in order to access the machine pools created with the old API group. More details are available below.

  kubectl get machinepools.exp.cluster.x-k8s.io -A
  

  Clusters can be created with kubectl-gs by following the documentation.

  If you are interested how Cluster API changed our structure and what is coming next, please see our blog post.

  Change details

  Clusters are created in a similar way as regular Giant Swarm clusters by using the v20.0.0-alpha1 release with the kubectl gs command:

  kubectl gs template cluster --provider azure --release v20.0.0-alpha1 --organization giantswarm --description 'test' --output cluster.yaml
  kubectl gs template nodepool  --provider azure --release "v20.0.0-alpha1" --organization giantswarm --cluster-name "hc27f" --description "np1" --nodes-min 3 --nodes-max 10 --output nodepool.yaml
  

  At the moment, only MachinePool and AzureMachinePool Cluster API custom resources are supported.

  Machine pools with kubectl-gs

  There is a breaking change that you should be aware of if you use kubectl to manage MachinePools. The MachinePool and AzureMachinePool CRDs have been moved to a new kubernetes API Group. The MachinePool object has moved from machinepools.exp.cluster.x-k8s.io to machinepools.cluster.x-k8s.io, and the AzureMachinePool from azuremachinepools.exp.infrastructure.cluster.x-k8s.io to azuremachinepools.infrastructure.cluster.x-k8s.io.

  This means that when you use kubectl get machinepools you no longer will see your MachinePools, because they were created using the old API Group and kubectl defaults to the new API Group. To get the same behavior that we used to have you need to specify the old API Group for MachinePools

  kubectl get machinepools.exp.cluster.x-k8s.io -A
  

  This is not the case for AzureMachinePools. Using kubectl get azuremachinepools you will see AzureMachinePools using the old API Group.
