Upgrading

We strongly suggest upgrading to Kuma 2.6.0. Upgrading is straightforward through kumactl or Helm.
Be sure to carefully read the Upgrade Guide before upgrading Kuma.

Notable Changes

  • 🚀 Expanded Policy Targeting

    Kuma now allows a wider range of policies, including MeshCircuitBreaker, MeshFaultInjection, and MeshAccessLog, to target MeshGateways. This expands the granularity of policy enforcement and enables more fine-grained control over network traffic at the gateway level.

  • 🚀 MeshMetric Policy for Comprehensive Traffic Metrics

    Kuma introduces the new MeshMetric policy, which provides a centralized and consistent approach to collecting traffic metrics across all data plane proxies in a mesh. This policy simplifies the management of metrics configurations and ensures that all traffic data is captured uniformly.

  • 🚀 Streamlined MeshGateway Routing

    MeshHTTPRoute and MeshTCPRoute can now replace MeshGatewayRoute for configuring how a MeshGateway should process network traffic. This change provides greater flexibility and control over gateway routing rules.

  • 🚀 Modernized Default Policies

    The default legacy policies automatically created during mesh creation have been replaced with new, targetRef style policies.

  • 🚀 Enhanced Traffic Flow without mTLS

    When mTLS is not enabled for a mesh, traffic now flows by default, eliminating the need for a TrafficRoute policy.

  • 🚀 Improved GUI Experience

    Kuma 2.6.0 introduces a number of enhancements to the graphical user interface (GUI), making it more user-friendly and intuitive.

  • 🚀 Effortless Single-Zone to Multi-Zone Migration

    Kuma's zone federation allows you to effortlessly migrate from a single-zone deployment to a multi-zone configuration. This means you can start small with a single zone and gradually federate additional zones as your network grows, ensuring a smooth and controlled scaling process.
