We are delighted to present version 1.16.0 of Contour Operator, which provides a method for packaging, deploying, and managing Contour.

A big thank you to everyone who contributed to the release.

Major Changes

AWS Load Balancer Type Support

PR #366 added support for specifying an AWS load balancer type. Supported types are "Classic" (default) and "NLB". When the provider is unspecified or is type "AWS" and the load balancer type is unspecified, a "Classic" load balancer will be used. Refer to this for additional information on AWS load balancer types.

Bugs Fixed

• PRs #371 and #339 fix the operator from panic'ing when a GatewayCLass is created with parameterRefs is unspecified.

Deprecation & Removal Notices

• PR #369 removes the "app.kubernetes.io/version" label from the Contour deployment and Envoy daemonset resources.
