grafana/k6-operator v1.3.0 on GitHub

✨ New features

We added two major features in this release.

Firstly, there is now an option to skip initializer pod step by setting .spec.initializer.disabled: true in the TestRun CRD. Thanks, @Kristina-Pianykh! Note:

By skipping the initializer pod, there's a risk of starting N runner pods and having them all fail on a misconfigured script.
This option is recommended for advanced users who have a stable testing setup and have done due diligence for their scripts as described here.
Lastly, this option will be ignored for cloud output tests as they require initializer pod execution.

Secondly, we're adding a new option of PodTemplate to the PrivateLoadZone CRD to unlock extended configuration. It supports only a limited number of fields now:

apiVersion: k6.io/v1alpha1
kind: PrivateLoadZone
metadata:
  name: <NAME>
  namespace: <NS>
spec:
  token: <TOKEN>
  resources:
    limits:
      cpu: 400m
      memory: 1000Mi

  podTemplate: # a new, optional field
    spec:
      securityContext:
        runAsUser: 100
        runAsGroup: 100
        fsGroup: 100
      tolerations:
        - key: "app"
          operator: "Equal"
          value: "blue"
          effect: "NoSchedule"
      containers:
        - name: k6
          securityContext:
            allowPrivilegeEscalation: false

No other field can be passed to the .spec.podTemplate: it'll be blocked by Kubernetes validation, with an error about unknown field. This configuration will be applied to all Pods started by k6-operator for this PrivateLoadZone.

Note

PrivateLoadZone doesn't support mutability yet, so it must be re-created anew if you want to add a new config to it.

🛠️ Maintenance

Notable updates from the automated renovate bot:

Update of module go.k6.io/k6 to v1.6.1 (PR)

We now have a JSON schema validation check for all new PRs: if there's a PR opened for the Helm chart, a new GitHub Workflow will check if the JSON schema was updated as it should be, without waiting for human review. Thanks, @railgun-0402!

A couple of new commands were added to the Makefile to simplify maintenance:

make e2e-update-latest to help populate e2e/latest folder (PR). It is mainly meant for the release process.
make patch-helm-crd to help copy changes in CRD to the Helm chart (PR). It can be used both in the release process and during normal PRs.
