strimzi/strimzi-kafka-operator 0.27.0

on GitHub

Main changes since 0.26

• Multi-arch container images with support for x86_64 / AMD64 and AArch64 / ARM64 platforms
  (The support AArch64 is currently considered as experimental. We are not aware of any issues, but the AArch64 build doesn't at this point undergo the same level of testing as the AMD64 container images.)
• Added the option to configure the Cluster Operator's Zookeeper admin client session timeout via an new env var: STRIMZI_ZOOKEEPER_ADMIN_SESSION_TIMEOUT_MS
• The ControlPlaneListener and ServiceAccountPatching feature gates are now in the beta phase and are enabled by default.
• Allow setting any extra environment variables for the Cluster Operator container through Helm using a new extraEnvs value.
• Added SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication for Kafka clients
• Update OPA Authorizer to 1.3.0
• Update to Cruise Control version 2.5.79
• Update Log4j2 to 2.17.0

All changes can be found under the 0.27.0 milestone.

Changes, deprecations and removals

• The ControlPlaneListener feature gate is now enabled by default.
  When upgrading from Strimzi 0.22 or earlier, you have to disable the ControlPlaneListener feature gate when upgrading the cluster operator to make sure the Kafka cluster stays available during the upgrade.
  When downgrading to Strimzi 0.22 or earlier, you have to disable the ControlPlaneListener feature gate before downgrading the cluster operator to make sure the Kafka cluster stays available during the downgrade.

Upgrading from Strimzi 0.26

See the documentation for upgrade instructions.

Upgrading from Strimzi 0.22 or earlier

This release supports only the API version v1beta2 and CRD version apiextensions.k8s.io/v1. If upgrading from Strimzi 0.22, migration to v1beta2 needs to be completed for all Strimzi CRDs and CRs before the upgrade to 0.27 is done! If upgrading from Strimzi version earlier than 0.22, you need to first install the CRDs from Strimzi 0.22 and complete the migration to v1beta2 for all Strimzi CRDs and CRs before the upgrade to 0.27 is done!

For more details about the CRD upgrades, see the documentation.
