edge-21.9.1

This release includes various improvements and feature additions across the policy
feature i.e, New validating webhook for policy resources. This also includes changes
in the proxy i.e, terminating TCP connections when a authorization is revoked, improvements
in the proxy authorization metrics. In addition, proxy injector has also been updated
to set the right opaque-ports annotation on services with default opaque ports.

  • Added a new validating admission controller to validate the policy resources
  • Updated the proxy-init to remove a rule which caused the packets from the proxy
    with destination != 127.0.0.1 on localhost to be sent to the inbound proxy
  • Updated inbound policy enforcement to interrupt TCP forwarding if a previously
    established authorization is revoked
  • Added new proxy metrics to expose authorization decisions
  • Updated inbound TCP metrics to only include a srv_name label
  • Updated the proxy to export route-oriented metrics only when a ServiceProfile
    is enabled
  • Updated the proxy's release build configuration to improve CPU and memory
    utilization
  • Added DNS name validation to the proxy-identity binary which creates the
    read-only private key required by the proxy (thanks @yorkijr!)
  • Updated the identity controller's default policy to be cluster-unauthenticated
  • Updated the proxy injector to include the correct default ports as opaque with
    services
  • Deprecated the usage of vis stat ts and print a warning about the SMI extension
  • Updated various dependencies across the dashboard, policy-controller
    (thanks @dependabot!)
