1.18+ck1 Bugfix release

June 11, 2020 - charmed-kubernetes-464

Before upgrading from 1.17 or earlier, please read the upgrade notes.

What's new

  • New options for custom TLS data in container runtime charms

All container runtime subordinate charms now support a custom-registry-ca option that can be used to specify a base64 encoded Certificate Authority (CA) certificate. The value set here will be installed as a system-wide trusted CA. See the related issue for more details.

For users that require custom TLS configuration per registry, the containerd subordinate charm has expanded the custom_registries config option to support ca_file, cert_file, and cert_key. These can be set for each custom registry to enable TLS without altering the system-wide trusted CAs. See the related issue for more details.

Both of the above options allow the container runtime located on kubernetes-worker units to pull containers from a registry that utilizes custom TLS certificates.

  • New memory constraint for kubeapi-load-balancer

Deploying Charmed Kubernetes now requires a minimum of 4GB of RAM for the kubeapi-load-balancer. This addresses OOM errors reported in the related issue.

  • Updated profile when deploying to LXD

An updated LXD profile has been included in kubernetes-master and kubernetes-worker charms. This resolves an issue where containers would fail to start in a LXD environment.

1.18

April 13th, 2020 - charmed-kubernetes-430

Before upgrading, please read the upgrade notes.

What's new

  • New SSL options for default ingress controller

  • Multus support

This release of Charmed Kubernetes introduces support for Multus, a CNI provider that makes it possible to attach multiple network interfaces to your pods.

Along the way, we've also updated existing charms to make it possible for multiple CNI providers to be deployed together in the same cluster.

Please note that while we are making Multus support available today, it is dependent on functionality in Juju that is not yet considered stable. For more details on the current state of Multus support in Charmed Kubernetes and how to get started, please refer to the Multus documentation page.

  • CIS Benchmark 1.5.0

The cis-benchmark action now supports version 1.5.0 of the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark. See the CIS compliance page for information on running this action on Charmed Kubernetes components.

  • Containerd version hold

The version of containerd will now be held. This means that the version of containerd will not be upgraded along with the charm. To update containerd to the latest stable, currently 1.3.3, you can call the upgrade-containerd action. For example:

juju run-action --wait containerd/0 upgrade-containerd

After completion, the results of the upgrade will be returned. Run this for each instance of the containerd charm. The upgrades can be staggered to avoid downtime.

Component Upgrades

Many of the components in Charmed Kubernetes 1.18 have been upgraded. The following list highlights some of the more notable version changes:

  • containerd 1.3.3 (see above upgrade-containerd note)
  • coredns 1.6.7
  • dashboard 2.0.0-rc5
  • etcd 3.3.15
  • openstack-provider 1.17

Fixes

Notes / Known Issues

  • Heapster, InfluxDB, Grafana addons have been removed from cdk-addons

Heapster was initially [deprecated][heapster-deprecation] in 1.11; users were encouraged to move to the metrics-server for similar functionality. With 1.18, the cluster-monitoring addons (Heapster, InfluxDB, and Grafana) have been removed from the Kubernetes source tree and therefore removed from the cdk-addons snap as well. Customers relying on these addons should migrate to a metrics-server solution prior to upgrading. Note: these removals do not affect the Kubernetes Dashboard nor the methods described in Monitoring Charmed Kubernetes.

  • Containerd cannot pull images from a registry with TLS mutual authentication

An issue with the containerd charm prevents pulling images from a private container registry when TLS mutual authentication is enabled. Where possible, users can workaround this issue by disabling mutual authentication on the registry. More details can be found in the following bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/charm-containerd/+bug/1853653

  • New provisioner value for Cinder storage classes

The new version of the openstack-provisioner includes an upstream change to the provisioner field for storage classes using Cinder. The cdk-cinder storage class will be automatically updated, but any manually created storage classes will need to be edited and the provisioner field changed to cinder.csi.openstack.org. Existing volumes will be unaffected, but new PVCs using those storage classes will hang until the storage class is updated.
