Current Series Release Notes¶

9.0.0.0rc1-76¶

Added calico_ipv4pool_ipip label for configuring calico network_driver IPIP Mode to use for the IPv4 POOL created at start up. Allowed_values: Always, CrossSubnet, Never, Off.

Add fedora coreos driver. To deploy clusters with fedora coreos operators or users need to add os_distro=fedora-coreos to the image. The scripts to deploy kubernetes on top are the same with fedora atomic. Note that this driver has selinux enabled.

Installs the metrics-server service that is replacing kubernetes deprecated heapster as a cluster wide metrics reporting service used by schedulling, HPA and others. This service is installed and configured using helm and so tiller_enabled flag must be True. The label metrics_server_chart_tag can be used to specify the stable/metrics-server chart tag to be used. The label metrics_server_enabled is used to enable disable the installation of the metrics server (default: true).

Added custom.metrics.k8s.io API installer by means of stable/prometheus-adapter helm chart. The label prometheus_adapter_enabled (default: true) controls configuration. You can also use prometheus_adapter_chart_tag to select helm chart version, and prometheus_adapter_configmap if you would like to setup your own metrics (specifying this other than default overwrites default configurations). This feature requires the usage of label monitoring_enabled=true.

Along with the kubernetes version upgrade support we just released, we’re adding the support to upgrade the operating system of the k8s cluster (including master and worker nodes). It’s an inplace upgrade leveraging the atomic/ostree upgrade capability.

Now the Fedora CoreOS driver can support the sha256 verification for the hyperkube image when bootstraping the Kubernetes cluster.

Cluster upgrade API supports upgrading specific nodegroups in kubernetes clusters. If a user chooses a default nodegroup to be upgraded, then both of the default nodegroups will be upgraded since they are in one stack. For non-default nodegroups users are allowed to use only the cluster template already set in the cluster. This means that the cluster (default nodegroups) has to be upgraded on the first hand. For now, the only label that is taken into consideration during upgrades is the kube_tag. All other labels are ignored.

The startup of the heat-container-agent uses a workaround to copy the SoftwareDeployment credentials to /var/lib/cloud/data/cfn-init-data. The fedora coreos driver requires heat train to support ignition.

Python 2.7 support has been dropped. Last release magnum support py2.7 is OpenStack Train. The minimum version of Python now supported by magnum is Python 3.6.

nginx-ingress-controller QoS changed from Guaranteed to Burstable. Priority class ‘system-cluster-critical’ or higher for nginx-ingress-controller.

Heapster phased out in favor of metrics-server. Last openstack/magnum version to include heapster has standard version is magnum train.

A regression issue about downloading images has been fixed. Now both Fedora Atomic driver and Fedora CoreOS driver can support using proxy in template to create cluster.

nginx-ingress-controller requests.memory increased to 256MiB. This is a result of tests that showed the pod getting oom killed by the node on a relatively generic use case.

k8s-keystone-auth now uses the upstream k8scloudprovider docker repo instead of the openstackmagnum repo.

Bump up prometheus operator chart version to 8.2.2 so that it is compatible with k8s 1.16.x.
