latest releases: v1.10.6, v1.11.1, test/v1.11.1...
pre-release22 days ago

🚨 This is a RELEASE CANDIDATE. Use it only for testing purposes. If you find any bugs, file an issue.

Highlights

  • Bumped to Go 1.24, controller-runtime v0.21, k8s.io/* v0.33, controller-gen v0.18 (also moved to sigs.k8s.io/randfill) (#12191)
  • v1beta2 API version has been introduced and considering the awesome amount of improvements it marks an important
    step in the journey towards graduating our API to v1.
    • Accordingly there is now a new v1beta2 version of our contract for providers.
    • Improve status:
      • The transition to the new K8s aligned conditions using metav1.Conditions types and the new condition semantic
        has been completed.
      • Replica counters are now consistent with new conditions and across all resources; new replica counters have been added at cluster level.
      • Semantic of contract fields in status have been improved and are now consistent across all resources.
      • The confusing FailureReason and FailureMessage fields have been dropped.
    • Support CC across namespaces: API changes planned for this feature have been implemented.
    • Improve object references:
      • Unnecessary fields have been dropped from object reference.
      • Object references are now GitOps friendly (API version is not overwritten anymore by controllers).
    • KubeadmConfig and KubeadmControlPlane APIs have been aligned with kubeadm v1beta4 API.
      • Additionally, fields inferred from top level objects have been removed, thus getting rid of a common source of confusion/issues.
  • Compliance with K8s API guidelines:
    • Thanks to the adoption of the KAL linter compliance with K8s API guidelines has been greatly improved.
    • All Duration fields are now represented as *int32 fields with units being part of the field name.
    • All bool fields have been changed to *bool to preserve user intent.
    • Extensive work has been done to ensure required and optional is explicitly set in the API, and that
      both serialization and validation works accordingly:
      • Stop rendering empty structs (review of all occurrences of omitempty and introduction of omitzero)
      • Do not allow "" when it is not semantically different from value not set (either you have to provide a non-empty string value or not set the field at all).
      • Do not allow 0 when it is not semantically different from value not set (either you have to provide a non-0 int value or not set the field at all).
      • Do not allow {} when it is not semantically different from value not set (either you have to set at least one property in the object or not set the field at all).
      • Do not allow [] when it is not semantically different from value not set (either you have to set at least one item in the list or not set the field at all).
      • Ensure validation for all enum types.
    • Missing list markers have been added for SSA.
    • Drop unnecessary pointers:
      • After fixing required and optional according to K8s API guidelines, extensive work has been done to
        drop unnecessary pointers thus improving the usability of the API's Go structs.
    • Avoid embedding structs: Coupling between API types has been reduced by reducing the usage of embedded structs.
    • Extensive work has been done to improve consistency across all resources, e.g.:
      • Fields for Machine deletion are under a new deletion struct in all resources.
      • Settings about rollout have been logically grouped in all resources.
      • Settings about health checks and remediation have been logically grouped in all resources.
    • Missing validations have been added where required.
    • Tech debt has been reduced by dropping deprecated fields.
  • ClusterClass: Fix continuous reconciles because of apiVersion differences in Cluster topology controller (#12341)
  • KCP/CABPK: Add CertificateValidityPeriod and CACertificateValidityPeriod to KubeadmConfig (#12335)
  • KCP: Fix timeout handling in GetAPIServerCertificateExpiry and DialContext (#12554)
  • Machine: fallback to InfraMachine providerID during deletion if Machine providerID is not set (#11985)
  • Runtime SDK:
    • Optimize size of Runtime Hook requests (#12462)
    • Add mTLS support to Runtime Extension server and client (#12517)
  • Improved e2e test coverage, e.g.:
    • additional checks that resourceVersion stays stable after tests and that conditions are healthy (#12546 #12111)
    • test coverage for scaling from/to 0 with CAPD & cluster-autoscaler (#12572)
  • New providers in clusterctl: Scaleway (#12357), cdk8s (#12332)

Notes for workload cluster upgrade to Kubernetes v1.34 with KCP

  • Context: Kubernetes/kubeadm <=> etcd compatibility:
    • kubeadm v1.33 only supports etcd v3.5 for Kubernetes v1.33
    • kubeadm v1.34 only supports etcd v3.6 for Kubernetes v1.34
  • The upgrade to etcd v3.6 requires etcd >= v3.5.20 (https://etcd.io/blog/2025/upgrade_from_3.5_to_3.6_issue/)
  • Accordingly, when upgrading from Kubernetes v1.33 to v1.34:
    • ensure etcd >= v3.5.20 is used with Kubernetes v1.33 before the upgrade
    • upgrade to Kubernetes v1.34 and etcd v3.6 at the same time
