Changes and Releases

Updates on Giant Swarm workload cluster releases, apps, UI improvements and documentation changes.

  • Connectivity ingress-nginx-app v4.3.3

    Changed

  • Observability tempo-app v0.17.0

    Changed

    • Upgrade Tempo Vulture chart from 0.12.9 to 0.12.10 (only bumps the tempo-vulture image from 2.10.4 to 2.10.5)
    • Upgrade Tempo chart from 2.14.3 to 2.23.0
      • Upgrades Tempo from 2.10.4 to 2.10.5
      • Bumps the rollout-operator sub-dependency from 0.47.0 to 0.49.0
      • Adds (disabled by default) experimental backend-scheduler / backend-worker components (chart 2.17.0)
      • Several components migrated to a shared pod template / defaults layer (chart 2.16.x – 2.17.x)
      • Adds unhealthyPodEvictionPolicy support on every PodDisruptionBudget (chart 2.23.0)
    • [BREAKING] Tempo chart 2.17.10 converts the memcached Service to headless (clusterIP: None) and changes the StatefulSet serviceName. Both fields are immutable, so helm upgrade will fail on existing installations with: Service "tempo-memcached" is invalid: spec.clusterIPs[0]: Invalid value: ["None"]: may not change once set && StatefulSet.apps "tempo-memcached" is invalid: spec: Forbidden: updates to statefulset spec for fields other than 'replicas', ... Before upgrading, delete the affected Services and orphan-delete the StatefulSets so the new chart can recreate them:
      kubectl -n <namespace> delete service --selector 'app.kubernetes.io/instance=<release>,app.kubernetes.io/component in (memcached,memcached-bloom,memcached-parquet-footer,memcached-frontend-search)'
kubectl -n <namespace> delete statefulset --selector 'app.kubernetes.io/instance=<release>,app.kubernetes.io/component in (memcached,memcached-bloom,memcached-parquet-footer,memcached-frontend-search)' --cascade=orphan
  • Observability dashboards v4.23.0

    Added

    • Add K6 Tests Results dashboard to the Shared Org Grafana organization.

    Added

    • Add Backstage audience annotations.
    • Add managementCluster: "" as a top-level value (populated from the cluster chart via defaultValues)
