loft-sh/vcluster v0.10.0 on GitHub

!! BREAKING CHANGES !!

vcluster create now automatically does a connect by default. Can be disabled via vcluster create --connect=false
vcluster connect now by default switches the current kube context to the vcluster context. Can be disabled via vcluster connect --update-current=false
vcluster delete now by default deletes the namespace of the vcluster if it was created by vcluster before. Can be disabled via vcluster delete --auto-delete-namespace=false

Greatly improved vcluster cli experience

In this release we mainly focused on improving the CLI experience for vcluster. On most local kubernetes distributions (minikube, docker-desktop, k3d, kind) you are now able to start vcluster without port-forwarding which makes it a lot easier to get started and use vcluster for local k8s development. It's also great news if you consider using vcluster in your CI/CD pipelines as you can now use KIND and vcluster together without having to run vcluster connect in the background anymore.

So the current vcluster create && vcluster connect flow in a separate terminal simplifies to:

# Start and connect a new vcluster in a single command for local Kubernetes distros
vcluster create my-vcluster

# Then immediately access the vcluster with regular kubectl commands
kubectl get ns

# Disconnect or delete the vcluster when you are done to switch back
# to the host context
vcluster disconnect

Changes

cli: New flag --kube-config-context-name for vcluster connect
cli: Using vcluster connect with port-forwarding will now switch back the context on CTRL+C
