• Mar 4, 2026 Connectivity kong-app v5.2.1

  Changed

  • Remove restriction when deploying VPA and HPA together.
• Mar 4, 2026 Observability observability-bundle v2.8.0

  Changed

  • Update kube-prometheus-stack to 20.1.0
• Mar 4, 2026 Observability observability-platform-api v0.2.0

  Added

  • Add Gateway API HTTPRoute resources for Loki, Mimir, and Tempo (read and write), replacing the previous NGINX ingress setup.
  • Add native JWT authentication via Envoy Gateway SecurityPolicy.jwt, supporting multiple OIDC providers (e.g. Dex, Azure AD). Configurable via auth.jwt.providers.
  • Add /loki/api/v1/rules to the Loki read routes.
  • Add GRPCRoute for Tempo gRPC traffic (port 9095), routing all tempopb.* services to tempo-query-frontend with JWT enforcement via SecurityPolicy.

  Changed

  • Replace NGINX ingress-based auth (nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-url) with Envoy Gateway SecurityPolicy JWT validation — no external auth service (oauth2-proxy or Dex extAuth) required.
  • Change missing X-Scope-OrgID response code from 400 to 401 across all routes.
  • When auth.jwt.providers is empty and a service is enabled, routes are silently not rendered (no chart error). Previously the chart would fail with an error.
  • Fix Tempo gRPC route service regex from tempopb to tempopb\.[^/]+ to correctly match package-qualified service names (e.g. tempopb.StreamingQuerier).

  Removed

  • Remove dependency on oauth2-proxy for write route authentication.
  • Remove Envoy Gateway Backend CRD and extAuth configuration in favour of inline JWT validation.
