NetApp/trident v24.10.0

on GitHub

Changes since v24.06.0

Coming soon: Trident’s new features for Kubernetes-native:

• Data protection
• Disaster recovery
• Application mobility
• Data migration

You are required to install the new Trident protect module to unlock these capabilities.

Fixes:

• Added support for Windows Server 2019.
• Kubernetes: Fixed Rancher admission webhook preventing Trident Helm installations (Issue #839).
• Kubernetes: Fixed Affinity key in Helm chart values (Issue #898).
• Kubernetes: Fixed tridentControllerPluginNodeSelector/tridentNodePluginNodeSelector won't work with "true"
  value (Issue #899).
• Kubernetes: Delete ephemeral snapshots created during cloning (Issue #901).
• Fixed go mod tidyin Trident repo (Issue #767).

Enhancements:

• Kubernetes: Added new flag --k8s_api_qps to installers to set the QPS value used by Trident to communicate
  with the Kubernetes API server.
• Kubernetes: Added --node-prep flag to installers for automatic management of storage protocol dependencies
  on Kubernetes cluster nodes. Tested and verified compatibility with Amazon Linux 2023 iSCSI storage protocol.
• Kubernetes: Added support for force detach for ONTAP-NAS-Economy NFS volumes during Non-Graceful Node Shutdown
  scenarios.
• Kubernetes: New ONTAP-NAS-Economy NFS volumes will use per-qtree export policies when using autoExportPolicy
  backend option. Qtrees will only be mapped to node restrictive export policies at time of publish to improve
  access control and security. Existing qtrees will be switched to the new export policy model when Trident
  unpublishes the volume from all nodes to do so without impacting active workloads.
• Google Cloud NetApp Volumes driver is now generally available for NFS volumes and supports zone-aware provisioning.
• GCP Workload Identity will be used as Cloud Identity for Google Cloud NetApp Volumes with GKE.
• Added formatOptions configuration parameter to ONTAP-SAN and ONTAP-SAN-Economy drivers to allow users to specify LUN format options.
• Reduced Azure NetApp Files minimum volume size to 50 GiB. Azure new minimum size expected to GA in November.
• Added denyNewVolumePools configuration parameter to restrict ONTAP-NAS-Economy and ONTAP-SAN-Economy drivers to
  preexisting Flexvol pools.
• Added detection for the addition or removal of aggregates from the SVM across all ONTAP drivers.
• Added 18 MiB overhead for iSCSI LUKS LUNs to ensure reported PVC size is usable.
• Improved node stage and unstage error handling for iSCSI ONTAP-SAN and ONTAP-SAN-Economy to allow unstage to remove devices.
• Added a custom role generator allowing customers to create a minimalistic role for Trident in ONTAP.
• Added additional logging for troubleshooting lsscsi (Issue #792).

Experimental Enhancements:

• Added tech preview for Fibre Channel support on ONTAP-SAN driver.

Deprecations:

• Kubernetes: Updated minimum supported Kubernetes to 1.25.
• Kubernetes: Removed support for Pod Security Policy.
