Release notes for Cluster API Provider AWS (CAPA) v1.5.0

Documentation

NOTE:

If you are planning to use Garbage Collection, which is a new feature added in this release, then you will need to update your controllers policy by running clusterawsadm bootstrap iam create-cloudformation-stack again (or can manually add elasticloadbalancing:DeleteTargetGroup permission to controllers policy). See the documentation on how to enable this feature via a feature flag.
