This release renames some fluxctl commands and arguments while deprecating others, to better follow Kubernetes terminology. In particular, it drops the term “controller” in favour of “workload”;
e.g., instead of
fluxctl list-controllers --controller=...
there is now
fluxctl list-workloads --workload=...
The old commands are deprecated but still available for now.
It also extends the namespace restriction flag ( --k8s-allow-namespace , with a deprecated alias --k8s-namespace-whitelist ) to cover all operations, including syncing; previously, it covered only query operations e.g., list-images etc…
Fixes
- Periodically refresh memcached addresses, to recover from DNS outages weaveworks/flux#1913
- Properly apply
fluxctl policy --tag-allwhen a manifest does not have a namespace weaveworks/flux#1901 - Support newer git versions (>=2.21) weaveworks/flux#1884
- Avoid errors arising from ambiguous git refs weaveworks/flux#1875 and weaveworks/flux#1829
- Reload the API definitions periodically, to account for the API server being unavailable when starting weaveworks/flux#1859
- Admit
<cluster>when parsing resource IDs, since it’s now used to mark cluster-scoped resources weaveworks/flux#1851 - Better recognise and tolerate when Kubernetes API errors mean “not accessible” weaveworks/flux#1840 and weaveworks/flux#1832, and stop the Kubernetes client from needlessly logging them weaveworks/flux#1837
Improvements
- Use “workload” as the term for resources that specify pods to run, in
fluxctlcommands and wherever else it is needed weaveworks/flux#1777 - Make
regexan alias forregexpin tag filters weaveworks/flux#1915 - Be more sparing when logging AWS detection failures; add flag for requiring AWS authentication; observe ECR restrictions on region and account regardless of AWS detection weaveworks/flux#1863
- Treat all
*List(e.g.,DeploymentList) resources as lists weaveworks/flux#1883 - Add host key for legacy VSTS (now Azure DevOps) weaveworks/flux#1870
- Extend namespace restriction to all operations, and change the name of the flag to
--k8s-allow-namespaceweaveworks/flux#1668 - Avoid updating images when there is no record for the current image weaveworks/flux#1831
- Include the file name in the error when kubeyaml fails to update a manifest weaveworks/flux#1815
Maintenance and documentation
- Avoid creating a cached image when host key verification fails while building weaveworks/flux#1908
- Separate “Get started” instructions for fluxd vs. fluxd with the Helm operator weaveworks/flux#1902, weaveworks/flux#1912
- Add an end-to-end smoke test to run in CI weaveworks/flux#1800
- Make git tracing report more output weaveworks/flux#1844
- Fix flaky API discovery test weaveworks/flux#1849
