Listen up, our fellow travelers! Your schedules may already be jam-packed with exciting plans for this vacation season, but let us tell you about one more adventure that's too good to miss. Embark on a journey to enchanting Two Sixteen Island, nestled in the very heart of the Kyma archipelago. Once there, get ready to discover the latest and greatest versions of Istio, OTel Collector, Fluent Bit, and NATS server, along with multiple Telemetry enhancements. Read on to uncover the wonders of Kyma 2.16!
Telemetry
- We have moved the Loki LogPipeline out of the Logging component into the Telemetry module. Thus, it is installed if the Logging component is available, but the component does not fail if the Telemetry module is absent. For more information, see the PR.
- The following components have been updated:
- We have improved the custom Loki example.
- We have introduced support for multiple TracePipelines.
- To improve availability of the tracing gateway, a second replica was added.
- A bug got fixed which caused the activation of invalid TracePipelines
Service Mesh
Istio upgraded to version 1.18.0
With this release, we have upgraded Istio from version 1.17.3 to 1.18.0. To learn more about the new version, read the official Istio 1.18.0 release notes.
API Gateway
Removal of APIRule in version v1alpha1
APIRule in version v1alpa1 has been deprecated since Kyma 2.5, and its end of life is planned for Kyma 2.19. Migrate your APIRules to v1beta1.
Eventing
The NATS server has been updated to version 2.9.18.
Serverless
Deprecation of Node.js 16 Serverless runtime
Because of the scheduled EOL for Node.js 16, we plan to remove Node.js 16 from the list of supported runtimes.
For now, we recommend that you don’t use Node.js 16 as a runtime for your new Functions and re-configure all your existing Node.js 16 Functions to run on the latest available Node.js runtime.
To learn how to update existing Functions, read the blog post Changing the function runtime version of a running function.
Node.js 14 runtime removed
Node.js 14 has reached the end of its life. Therefore, followed by the depreciation of Node.js 14 Serverless runtime, we decided to finally remove it from the list of the available Function runtimes.
Your Node.js 14 Functions' workloads will continue to run, but you will not be able to edit them without changing the runtime field. Sooner or later, you must modify the specification of your existing Node.js 14-based Functions and change the runtime field to either nodejs16 or nodejs18.
For more information about the Node.js 14 deprecation, see the Kyma 2.12 release notes.
