Unreleased

4.0.0 - 2024-11-19

Removed

• Removed PSP support and thus support for pre v1.25 Kubernetes clusters.
  • Removed .global.podSecurityStandards.enforced Helm value.
• Removed .project.branch and project.commit Helm values.

Changed

• Bump architect-orb to v5.11.1.
• Updated build pipeline to use app-build-suite.
  • Changed value for application.giantswarm.io/branch label to point to .Chart.AppVersion instead as ABS does not support mangling the templates anymore.
  • Changed value for application.giantswarm.io/commit label to point to .Chart.AppVersion instead as ABS does not support mangling the templates anymore.
• Defaulted .image.tag to be an empty string and default that to .Chart.AppVersion in the deployment.
• Bumped test-app version to v1.0.0 in integration tests.

3.3.0 - 2024-07-18

Added

• Added and enabled by default an emptyDir volume under tmp of the deployment for artifact pulls so that we can make the rest of the root file system read only under the security context.
• Added control over the VPA max allowed resources.

Changed

• Requests and limits are always set on the deployment.
• Increased default requests and limits because of the introduction of the emptyDir volume under /tmp.
• Enabled read only root file system by default on the security context.
• Update PolicyExceptions to v2 and fallback to v2beta1.

3.2.1 - 2024-03-05

Fixed

• Use separate rest configs for different Kubernetes clients.

3.2.0 - 2024-02-27

Added

• Added --service.controller.resyncperiod daemon flag that can be controller via .controller.resyncPeriod Helm value. Controls the duration after which a complete sync with all known runtime objects the controller watches is performed. Defaults to 5m.

3.1.3 - 2024-01-29

Fixed

• Move pss values under the global property

Changed

• Use base images from gsoci.azurecr.io

3.1.2 - 2023-12-20

Changed

• Force-disable PSP-related resources when global.podSecurityStandards.enforced value is true.

3.0.0 - 2023-10-04

Removed

• Removed giantswarm.io/monitoring: "true" label from the Service resource. To get metrics chart-operator should be from now on used in conjunction with chart-operator-extensions version v1.1.1 or later to deploy ServiceMonitor resource for it. It was split up as chart-operator is one of the first component to get into a cluster that will deploy most other things, for example Prometheus that will eventually actually deploy the CRD for ServiceMonitor.
