v30.1.0a1

Kubernetes API Version: v1.30.1

API Change

  • Fixes a 1.30.0 regression in openapi descriptions of imagePullSecrets and hostAliases fields to mark the fields used as keys in those lists as either defaulted or required. (kubernetes/kubernetes#124553, @pmalek) [SIG API Machinery]

  • Fixes a 1.30.0 regression in openapi descriptions of imagePullSecrets and hostAliases fields to mark the fields used as keys in those lists as either defaulted or required. (kubernetes/kubernetes#124694, @pmalek) [SIG API Machinery]

  • Added (alpha) support for the managedBy field on Jobs. Jobs with a custom value of this field - any value other than kubernetes.io/job-controller - were skipped by the job controller, and their reconciliation was delegated to an external controller, indicated by the value of the field. Jobs that didn't have this field at all, or where the field value was the reserved string kubernetes.io/job-controller, were reconciled by the built-in job controller. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123273, @mimowo)

  • Added alpha-level support for the SuccessPolicy in Jobs. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123412, @tenzen-y)

  • Added the CEL library for IP Addresses and CIDRs. This was made available for use starting from version 1.31. (kubernetes/kubernetes#121912, @JoelSpeed)

  • Allowed container runtimes to fix an image garbage collection bug by adding an image_id field to the CRI Container message. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123508, @saschagrunert)

  • Dynamic Resource Allocation: DRA drivers can now use "structured parameters" to let the scheduler handle claim allocation. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123516, @pohly)

  • Fixed accidental enablement of the new alpha optionalOldSelf API field in CustomResourceDefinition validation rules, which should only have been allowed to be set when the CRDValidationRatcheting feature gate is enabled. (kubernetes/kubernetes#122329, @jpbetz)

  • Implemented the prescore extension point for the volumeBinding plugin. It now returns skip if it doesn't do anything in Score. (kubernetes/kubernetes#115768, @AxeZhan)

  • Kubelet would fail if NodeSwap was used with LimitedSwap and cgroupv1 node. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123738, @kannon92)

  • Promoted AdmissionWebhookMatchConditions to GA. The feature is now stable, and the feature gate is now locked to default. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123560, @ivelichkovich)

  • Structured Authentication Configuration now supports DiscoveryURL. If specified, discoveryURL overrides the URL used to fetch discovery information. This is for scenarios where the well-known and jwks endpoints are hosted at a different location than the issuer (such as locally in the cluster). (kubernetes/kubernetes#123527, @aramase)

  • The StorageVersionMigration API, previously available as a Custom Resource Definition (CRD), is now a built-in API in Kubernetes. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123344, @nilekhc)

  • When configuring a JWT authenticator:

    If username.expression used 'claims.email', then 'claims.email_verified' must have been used in username.expression or extra[*].valueExpression or claimValidationRules[*].expression. An example claim validation rule expression that matches the validation automatically applied when username.claim is set to 'email' is 'claims.?email_verified.orValue(true)'. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123737, @enj)

  • readOnly volumes now support recursive read-only mounts for kernel versions >= 5.12." (kubernetes/kubernetes#123180, @AkihiroSuda)

  • cri-api: Implemented KEP-3857: Recursive Read-only (RRO) mounts. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123272, @AkihiroSuda)

  • kube-apiserver: the AuthenticationConfiguration type accepted in --authentication-config files has been promoted to apiserver.config.k8s.io/v1beta1. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123696, @aramase)

  • kubelet allowed specifying a custom root directory for pod logs (instead of the default /var/log/pods) using the podLogsDir key in kubelet configuration. (kubernetes/kubernetes#112957, @mxpv)

  • resource.k8s.io/ResourceClaim (alpha API): The strategic merge patch strategy for the status.reservedFor array was changed so that a strategic-merge-patch can now add individual entries. This change may break clients using strategic merge patch to update status, which rely on the previous behavior (replacing the entire array). (kubernetes/kubernetes#122276, @pohly)

  • Added a CBOR implementation of runtime.Serializer. Until CBOR graduates to Alpha, API servers will refuse to start if configured with CBOR support. (kubernetes/kubernetes#122881, @benluddy)

  • Added a alpha feature, behind the RelaxedEnvironmentVariableValidation feature gate. When that gate is enabled, Kubernetes allows almost all printable ASCII characters to be used in the names of environment variables for containers in Pods. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123385, @HirazawaUi)

  • Added a new (alpha) field, trafficDistribution, to the Service spec to express preferences for traffic distribution to endpoints. Enabled through the ServiceTrafficDistribution feature gate. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123487, @gauravkghildiyal)

  • Added audienceMatchPolicy field to AuthenticationConfiguration and support for configuring multiple audiences. The "audienceMatchPolicy" can be empty (or unset) when a single audience is specified in the "audiences" field. The "audienceMatchPolicy" must be set to "MatchAny" when multiple audiences are specified in the "audiences" field. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123165, @aramase)

  • Added consistent vanity import to files and provided tooling for verifying and updating them. (kubernetes/kubernetes#120642, @jcchavezs)

  • Added the disable-force-detach CLI option for kube-controller-manager. By default, it's set to false. When enabled, it prevents force detaching volumes based on maximum unmount time and node status. If activated, the non-graceful node shutdown feature must be used to recover from node failure. Additionally, if a pod needs to be forcibly terminated at the risk of corruption, the appropriate VolumeAttachment object must be deleted. (kubernetes/kubernetes#120344, @rohitssingh)

  • Added to MutableFeatureGate the ability to override the default setting of feature gates, to allow default-enabling a feature on a component-by-component basis instead of for all affected components simultaneously. (kubernetes/kubernetes#122647, @benluddy)

  • Aggregated discovery supports both v2beta1 and v2 types and feature is promoted to GA. (kubernetes/kubernetes#122882, @Jefftree)

  • Alpha support for field selectors on custom resources has been added. With the CustomResourceFieldSelectors feature gate enabled, the CustomResourceDefinition API now allows specifying selectableFields. Listing a field there enables filtering custom resources for that CustomResourceDefinition in list or watch requests. (kubernetes/kubernetes#122717, @jpbetz)

  • AppArmor profiles can now be configured through fields on the PodSecurityContext and container SecurityContext. The beta AppArmor annotations are deprecated, and AppArmor status is no longer included in the node ready condition. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123435, @tallclair)

  • Contextual logging is now in beta and enabled by default. Check out the KEP and official documentation for more details. (kubernetes/kubernetes#122589, @pohly)

  • Enabled concurrent log rotation in kubelet. You can now configure the maximum number of concurrent rotations with the containerLogMaxWorkers setting, and adjust the monitoring interval with containerLogMonitorInterval. (kubernetes/kubernetes#114301, @harshanarayana)

  • Graduated pod scheduling gates to general availability. The PodSchedulingReadiness feature gate no longer has any effect, and the .spec.schedulingGates field is always available within the Pod and PodTemplate APIs. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123575, @Huang-Wei)

  • Graduated support for minDomains in pod topology spread constraints, to general availability. The MinDomainsInPodTopologySpread feature gate no longer has any effect, and the field is always available within the Pod and PodTemplate APIs. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123481, @sanposhiho)

  • In kubelet configuration, the .memorySwap.swapBehavior field now accepts a new value NoSwap, which becomes the default if unspecified. The previously accepted UnlimitedSwap value has been dropped. (kubernetes/kubernetes#122745, @kannon92)

  • Kube-apiserver: the AuthorizationConfiguration type accepted in --authorization-config files has been promoted to apiserver.config.k8s.io/v1beta1. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123640, @liggitt)

  • OIDC authentication will now fail if the username asserted based on a CEL expression config is the empty string. Previously the request would be authenticated with the username set to the empty string. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123568, @enj)

  • Removed note that hostAliases are not supported on hostNetwork Pods from the PodSpec API. The feature has been supported since v1.8. (kubernetes/kubernetes#122422, @neolit123)

  • Structured Authentication Configuration now supports configuring multiple JWT authenticators. The maximum allowed JWT authenticators in the authentication configuration is 64. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123431, @aramase)

  • Text logging in Kubernetes components now uses textlogger. The same split streams of info and error log entries with buffering of info entries is now also supported for text output (off by default, alpha feature). Previously, this was only supported for JSON. Performance is better also without split streams. (kubernetes/kubernetes#114672, @pohly)

  • The API server now detects and fails on startup if there are conflicting issuers between JWT authenticators and service account configurations. Previously, such configurations would run but could be inconsistently effective depending on the credential. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123561, @enj)

  • The JWT authenticator configuration set via the --authentication-config flag is now dynamically reloaded as the file changes on disk. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123525, @enj)

  • The StructuredAuthenticationConfiguration feature is now beta and enabled. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123719, @enj)

  • The kube_codegen tool now ignores the vendor folder during code generation. (kubernetes/kubernetes#122729, @jparrill)

  • The kubernetes repo now uses Go workspaces. This should not impact end users at all, but does have impact for developers of downstream projects. Switching to workspaces caused some breaking changes in the flags to the various k8s.io/code-generator tools. Downstream consumers should look at staging/src/k8s.io/code-generator/kube_codegen.sh to see the changes. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123529, @thockin)

  • Updated an audit annotation key used by the …/serviceaccounts/<name>/token resource handler. The annotation used to persist the issued credential identifier is now authentication.kubernetes.io/issued-credential-id. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123098, @munnerz) [SIG Auth]

  • Users are now allowed to mutate FSGroupPolicy and PodInfoOnMount in CSIDriver.Spec. (kubernetes/kubernetes#116209, @haoruan)

  • ValidatingAdmissionPolicy was promoted to GA and will be enabled by default. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123405, @cici37)

  • When scheduling a mix of pods using ResourceClaims and others that don't, scheduling a pod with ResourceClaims has a lower impact on scheduling latency. (kubernetes/kubernetes#121876, @pohly)

  • When working with client-go events, it's now recommended to use NewEventBroadcasterAdapterWithContext instead of NewEventBroadcasterAdapter if contextual logging support is needed. (kubernetes/kubernetes#122142, @pohly)

  • A new (alpha) field, trafficDistribution, has been added to the Service spec. This field provides a way to express preferences for how traffic is distributed to the endpoints for a Service. It can be enabled through the ServiceTrafficDistribution feature gate. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123487, @gauravkghildiyal) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Network]

  • Add alpha-level support for the SuccessPolicy in Jobs (kubernetes/kubernetes#123412, @tenzen-y) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Testing]

  • Added (alpha) support for the managedBy field on Jobs. Jobs with a custom value of this field - any value other than kubernetes.io/job-controller - are skipped by the job controller, and their reconciliation is delegated to an external controller, indicated by the value of the field.

When that gate is enabled, Kubernetes allows almost all printable ASCII characters to be used in the names of environment variables for containers in Pods. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123385, @HirazawaUi) [SIG Apps, Node and Testing]

  • Added alpha support for field selectors on custom resources. Provided that the CustomResourceFieldSelectors feature gate is enabled, the CustomResourceDefinition API now lets you specify selectableFields. Listing a field there allows filtering custom resources for that CustomResourceDefinition in list or watch requests. (kubernetes/kubernetes#122717, @jpbetz) [SIG API Machinery]

  • Added support for configuring multiple JWT authenticators in Structured Authentication Configuration. The maximum allowed JWT authenticators in the authentication configuration is 64. (kubernetes/kubernetes#123431, @aramase) [SIG Auth and Testing]

  • Added UserNamespacesPodSecurityStandards feature gate to enable user namespace support for Pod Security Standards. Enabling this feature will modify all Pod Security Standard rules to allow setting: spec[.*].securityContext.[runAsNonRoot,runAsUser]. This feature gate should only be enabled if all nodes in the cluster support the user namespace feature and have it enabled. The feature gate will not graduate or be enabled by default in future Kubernetes releases. (kubernetes/kubernetes#118760, @saschagrunert) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Node and Release]

  • The flowcontrol.apiserver.k8s.io/v1beta3 FlowSchema and PriorityLevelConfiguration APIs has been promoted to flowcontrol.apiserver.k8s.io/v1, with the following changes:

    • PriorityLevelConfiguration: the .spec.limited.nominalConcurrencyShares field defaults to 30 only if the field is omitted (v1beta3 also defaulted an explicit 0 value to 30). Specifying an explicit 0 value is not allowed in the v1 version in v1.29 to ensure compatibility with v1.28 API servers. In v1.30, explicit 0 values will be allowed in this field in the v1 API. The flowcontrol.apiserver.k8s.io/v1beta3 APIs are deprecated and will no longer be served in v1.32. All existing objects are available via the v1 APIs. Transition clients and manifests to use the v1 APIs before upgrading to v1.32. (kubernetes/kubernetes#121089, @tkashem)

  • The kube-proxy command-line documentation was updated to clarify that --bind-address does not actually have anything to do with binding to an address, and you probably don't actually want to be using it. (kubernetes/kubernetes#120274, @danwinship)

  • The kube-scheduler selectorSpread plugin has been removed, please use the podTopologySpread plugin instead. (kubernetes/kubernetes#117720, @kerthcet)

  • kube-apiserver: added --authorization-config flag for reading a configuration file containing an apiserver.config.k8s.io/v1alpha1 AuthorizationConfiguration object. The --authorization-config flag is mutually exclusive with --authorization-modes and --authorization-webhook-* flags. The alpha StructuredAuthorizationConfiguration feature flag must be enabled for --authorization-config to be specified. (kubernetes/kubernetes#120154, @palnabarun)

  • kube-proxy now has a new nftables-based mode, available by running

    `kube-proxy --feature-gates NFTablesProxyMode=true --proxy-mode nftables`

    This is currently an alpha-level feature and while it probably will not eat your data, it may nibble at it a bit. (It passes e2e testing but has not yet seen real-world use.)

    At this point it should be functionally mostly identical to the iptables mode, except that it does not (and will not) support Service NodePorts on 127.0.0.1. (Also note that there are currently no command-line arguments for the nftables-specific config; you will need to use a config file if you want to set the equivalent of any of the --iptables-xxx options.)

    As this code is still very new, it has not been heavily optimized yet; while it is expected to eventually have better performance than the iptables backend, very little performance testing has been done so far. (kubernetes/kubernetes#121046, @danwinship)

  • kube-proxy: Added an option/flag for configuring the nf_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal sysctl (in the kernel's netfilter conntrack subsystem). When enabled, kube-proxy will not install the DROP rule for invalid conntrack states, which currently breaks users of asymmetric routing. (kubernetes/kubernetes#120354, @aroradaman)

  • Added support for projecting certificates.k8s.io/v1alpha1 ClusterTrustBundle objects into pods. (kubernetes/kubernetes#113374, @ahmedtd) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Node, Storage and Testing]

  • Adds optionalOldSelf to x-kubernetes-validations to support ratcheting CRD schema constraints (kubernetes/kubernetes#121034, @alexzielenski) [SIG API Machinery]

  • Add ImageMaximumGCAge field to Kubelet configuration, which allows a user to set the maximum age an image is unused before it's garbage collected. (kubernetes/kubernetes#121275, @haircommander) [SIG API Machinery and Node]

  • Add a new ServiceCIDR type that allows to dynamically configure the cluster range used to allocate Service ClusterIPs addresses (kubernetes/kubernetes#116516, @aojea) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, CLI, Network and Testing]

  • Add the DisableNodeKubeProxyVersion feature gate. If DisableNodeKubeProxyVersion is enabled, the kubeProxyVersion field is not set. (kubernetes/kubernetes#120954, @HirazawaUi) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Node]

  • Added Windows support for InPlace Pod Vertical Scaling feature. (kubernetes/kubernetes#112599, @fabi200123) [SIG Autoscaling, Node, Scalability, Scheduling and Windows]

  • Added UserNamespacesPodSecurityStandards feature gate to enable user namespace support for Pod Security Standards. Enabling this feature will modify all Pod Security Standard rules to allow setting: spec[.*].securityContext.[runAsNonRoot,runAsUser]. This feature gate should only be enabled if all nodes in the cluster support the user namespace feature and have it enabled. The feature gate will not graduate or be enabled by default in future Kubernetes releases. (kubernetes/kubernetes#118760, @saschagrunert) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Node and Release]

  • Added options for configuring nf_conntrack_udp_timeout, and nf_conntrack_udp_timeout_stream variables of netfilter conntrack subsystem. (kubernetes/kubernetes#120808, @aroradaman) [SIG API Machinery and Network]

  • Adds CEL expressions to v1alpha1 AuthenticationConfiguration. (kubernetes/kubernetes#121078, @aramase) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Testing]

  • Adds support for CEL expressions to v1alpha1 AuthorizationConfiguration webhook matchConditions. (kubernetes/kubernetes#121223, @ritazh) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]

  • CSINodeExpandSecret feature has been promoted to GA in this release and enabled by default. The CSI drivers can make use of the secretRef values passed in NodeExpansion request optionally sent by the CSI Client from this release onwards. (kubernetes/kubernetes#121303, @humblec) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Storage]

  • Graduate Job BackoffLimitPerIndex feature to Beta (kubernetes/kubernetes#121356, @mimowo) [SIG Apps]

  • Kube-apiserver: adds --authorization-config flag for reading a configuration file containing an apiserver.config.k8s.io/v1alpha1 AuthorizationConfiguration object. --authorization-config flag is mutually exclusive with --authorization-modes and --authorization-webhook-* flags. The alpha StructuredAuthorizationConfiguration feature flag must be enabled for --authorization-config to be specified. (kubernetes/kubernetes#120154, @palnabarun) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Testing]

  • The flowcontrol.apiserver.k8s.io/v1beta3 FlowSchema and PriorityLevelConfiguration APIs has been promoted to flowcontrol.apiserver.k8s.io/v1, with the following changes:

    • PriorityLevelConfiguration: the .spec.limited.nominalConcurrencyShares field defaults to 30 only if the field is omitted (v1beta3 also defaulted an explicit 0 value to 30). Specifying an explicit 0 value is not allowed in the v1 version in v1.29 to ensure compatibility with 1.28 API servers. In v1.30, explicit 0 values will be allowed in this field in the v1 API. The flowcontrol.apiserver.k8s.io/v1beta3 APIs are deprecated and will no longer be served in v1.32. All existing objects are available via the v1 APIs. Transition clients and manifests to use the v1 APIs before upgrading to v1.32. (kubernetes/kubernetes#121089, @tkashem) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

  • The kube-proxy command-line documentation was updated to clarify that --bind-address does not actually have anything to do with binding to an address, and you probably don't actually want to be using it. (kubernetes/kubernetes#120274, @danwinship) [SIG Network]

  • The matchLabelKeys/mismatchLabelKeys feature is introduced to the hard/soft PodAffinity/PodAntiAffinity. (kubernetes/kubernetes#116065, @sanposhiho) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Cloud Provider, Scheduling and Testing]

  • ValidatingAdmissionPolicy Type Checking now supports CRDs and API extensions types. (kubernetes/kubernetes#119109, @jiahuif) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth and Testing]

  • When updating a CRD, per-expression cost limit check is skipped for x-kubernetes-validations rules of versions that are not mutated. (kubernetes/kubernetes#121460, @jiahuif) [SIG API Machinery]

  • Added a new ipMode field to the .status of Services where type is set to LoadBalancer. The new field is behind the LoadBalancerIPMode feature gate. (kubernetes/kubernetes#119937, @RyanAoh) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Cloud Provider, Network and Testing]

  • Fixed a bug where CEL expressions in CRD validation rules would incorrectly compute a high estimated cost for functions that return strings, lists or maps. The incorrect cost was evident when the result of a function was used in subsequent operations. (kubernetes/kubernetes#119800, @jpbetz) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Cloud Provider]

  • Go API: the ResourceRequirements struct needs to be replaced with VolumeResourceRequirements for use with volumes. (kubernetes/kubernetes#118653, @pohly) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Node, Scheduling, Storage and Testing]

  • Kube-apiserver: adds --authentication-config flag for reading AuthenticationConfiguration files. --authentication-config flag is mutually exclusive with the existing --oidc-* flags. (kubernetes/kubernetes#119142, @aramase) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Testing]

  • A CDIDevice field is included in the Device Plugin's ContainerAllocateResponse. This field maps to the CDIDevice field in the CRI protocol. (kubernetes/kubernetes#118254, @elezar) [SIG Node and Testing]
  • ACTION_REQUIRED When an Indexed Job has a number of completions higher than 10^5 and parallelism higher than 10^4, and a big number of Indexes fail, Kubernetes might not be able to track the termination of the Job. Kubernetes now emits a warning, at Job creation, when the Job manifest exceeds both of these limits. (kubernetes/kubernetes#118420, @alculquicondor) [SIG Apps]
  • Added ServedVersions field to StorageVersion API. (kubernetes/kubernetes#118386, @Richabanker)

  • Changed how KMS v2 encryption at rest can generate data encryption keys. When you enable the KMSv2KDF feature gate (off by default), KMS v2 uses a key derivation function to generate single use data encryption keys from a secret seed combined with some random data. This eliminates the need for a counter based nonce while avoiding nonce collision concerns associated with AES-GCM's 12 byte nonce. (kubernetes/kubernetes#118828, @enj)
  • Exposed rest.DefaultServerUrlFor function. (kubernetes/kubernetes#118055, @timofurrer)
  • Extended the Job API for alpha version of BackoffLimitPerIndex. (kubernetes/kubernetes#119294, @mimowo)
  • Graduated AdmissionWebhookMatchCondition feature to beta. (kubernetes/kubernetes#119380, @a-hilaly)
  • If using cgroups v2, then the cgroup aware OOM killer will be enabled for container cgroups via memory.oom.group . This causes processes within the cgroup to be treated as a unit and killed simultaneously in the event of an OOM kill on any process in the cgroup. (kubernetes/kubernetes#117793, @tzneal) [SIG Apps, Node and Testing]
  • In the API Priority and Fairness feature, priority levels that are exempt from limitation can now be given a nominal and a lendable concurrency and their dispatching borrows from the concurrency limits of the other priority levels. For details see https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/sig-api-machinery/1040-priority-and-fairness#dispatching . (kubernetes/kubernetes#118782, @MikeSpreitzer) [SIG API Machinery]
  • Indexed Job pods now have the pod completion index set as a pod label. (kubernetes/kubernetes#118883, @danielvegamyhre) [SIG Apps]
  • Kube-proxy: added --logging-format flag to support structured logging. (kubernetes/kubernetes#117800, @cyclinder)
  • NodeVolumeLimits implement the PreFilter extension point for skipping the Filter phase if the Pod doesn't use volumes with limits. (kubernetes/kubernetes#115398, @tangwz) [SIG Scheduling]
  • PersistentVolumes have a new LastPhaseTransitionTime field which holds a timestamp of when the volume last transitioned its phase. (kubernetes/kubernetes#116469, @RomanBednar)
  • Pods which set hostNetwork: true and declare ports, get the hostPort field set automatically. Previously this would happen in the PodTemplate of a Deployment, DaemonSet or other workload API. Now hostPort will only be set when an actual Pod is being created. If this presents a problem, setting the feature gate "DefaultHostNetworkHostPortsInPodTemplates" to true will revert this behavior. Please file a kubernetes bug if you need to do this. (kubernetes/kubernetes#117696, @thockin) [SIG Apps]
  • Promoted API groups ValidatingAdmissionPolicy and ValidatingAdmissionPolicyBinding to v1beta1. (kubernetes/kubernetes#118644, @alexzielenski) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Testing]
  • Promoted the feature gate ValidtaingAdmissionPolicy to beta, and it is turned off by default. (kubernetes/kubernetes#119409, @alexzielenski)

  • Revised the comment about the feature-gate level for PodFailurePolicy from alpha to beta. (kubernetes/kubernetes#117802, @kerthcet) [SIG API Machinery and Apps]
  • StatefulSet pods now have the pod index set as a pod label statefulset.kubernetes.io/pod-index. (kubernetes/kubernetes#119232, @danielvegamyhre) [SIG Apps]
  • Support for proxying a request to a peer kube-apiserver if the local apiserver is not able to serve it due to version skew or in the case the requested api is disabled on the local apiserver (kubernetes/kubernetes#117740, @Richabanker) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Cloud Provider, Network, Node and Testing]
  • Supported BackoffLimitPerIndex in Jobs. (kubernetes/kubernetes#118009, @mimowo)
  • The IPTablesOwnershipCleanup feature (KEP-3178) is now GA; kubelet no longer creates the KUBE-MARK-DROP chain (which has been unused for several releases) or the KUBE-MARK-MASQ chain (which is now only created by kube-proxy). (kubernetes/kubernetes#119374, @danwinship)
  • The SelfSubjectReview API is promoted to authentication.k8s.io/v1 and the kubectl auth whoami command is GA. (kubernetes/kubernetes#117713, @nabokihms) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, Auth, CLI and Testing]
  • The names of ResourceClaims generated from ResourceClaimTemplate are now generated. The base name is still <pod>-<claim name>, but a random suffix will avoid name collisions. (kubernetes/kubernetes#117351, @pohly) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Node, Scheduling and Testing]
  • The new feature gate "SidecarContainers" is now available. This feature introduces sidecar containers, a new type of init container that starts before other containers but remains running for the full duration of the pod's lifecycle and will not block pod termination. (kubernetes/kubernetes#116429, @gjkim42) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Node, Scheduling and Testing]
  • Updated the comment about the feature-gate level for PodFailurePolicy from alpha to beta (kubernetes/kubernetes#118278, @mimowo)
  • client-go: Improved memory use of reflector caches when watching large numbers of objects which do not change frequently. (kubernetes/kubernetes#113362, @sxllwx)
  • component-base/logs is now stricter about not applying configurations multiple times and will return an error when that is attempted. Can be overridden by binaries which need to do that. (kubernetes/kubernetes#117108, @pohly)
  • kube-controller-manager: The LegacyServiceAccountTokenCleanUp feature gate is now available as alpha (off by default). When enabled, the legacy-service-account-token-cleaner controller loop removes service account token secrets that have not been used in the time specified by --legacy-service-account-token-clean-up-period (defaulting to one year), and are referenced from the .secrets list of a ServiceAccount object, and are not referenced from pods. (kubernetes/kubernetes#115554, @yt2985)

v27.2.0b1

Kubernetes API Version: v1.27.2

v27.2.0a1

Kubernetes API Version: v1.27.2

API Change

  • Added error handling for seccomp localhost configurations that do not properly set a localhostProfile (kubernetes/kubernetes#117020, @cji) [SIG API Machinery and Node]

  • Fixed an issue where kubelet does not set case-insensitive headers for http probes. (#117182, @dddddai) (kubernetes/kubernetes#117324, @dddddai) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Node]

  • Revised the comment about the feature-gate level for PodFailurePolicy from alpha to beta (kubernetes/kubernetes#117815, @kerthcet) [SIG Apps]

  • A fix in the resource.k8s.io/v1alpha1/ResourceClaim API avoids harmless (?) ".status.reservedFor: element 0: associative list without keys has an element that's a map type" errors in the apiserver. Validation now rejects the incorrect reuse of the same UID in different entries. (kubernetes/kubernetes#115354, @pohly)

  • A terminating pod on a node that is not caused by preemption no longer prevents kube-scheduler from preempting pods on that node

  • API: resource.k8s.io/v1alpha1.PodScheduling was renamed to resource.k8s.io/v1alpha2.PodSchedulingContext. (kubernetes/kubernetes#116556, @pohly) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, CLI, Node, Scheduling and Testing]

  • Added CEL runtime cost calculation into ValidatingAdmissionPolicy, matching the evaluation cost restrictions that already apply to CustomResourceDefinition. If rule evaluation uses more compute than the limit, the API server aborts the evaluation and the admission check that was being performed is aborted; the failurePolicy for the ValidatingAdmissionPolicy determines the outcome. (kubernetes/kubernetes#115747, @cici37)

  • Added auditAnnotations to ValidatingAdmissionPolicy, enabling CEL to be used to add audit annotations to request audit events. Added validationActions to ValidatingAdmissionPolicyBinding, enabling validation failures to be handled by any combination of the warn, audit and deny enforcement actions. (kubernetes/kubernetes#115973, @jpbetz)

  • Added messageExpression field to ValidationRule. (kubernetes/kubernetes#115969, @DangerOnTheRanger)

  • Added messageExpression to ValidatingAdmissionPolicy, to set custom failure message via CEL expression. (kubernetes/kubernetes#116397, @jiahuif) [SIG API Machinery]

  • Added a new IPAddress object kind

    • Added a new ClusterIP allocator. The new allocator removes previous Service CIDR block size limitations for IPv4, and limits IPv6 size to a /64 (kubernetes/kubernetes#115075, @aojea) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, CLI, Cluster Lifecycle, Network and Testing]

  • Added a new alpha API: ClusterTrustBundle (certificates.k8s.io/v1alpha1). A ClusterTrustBundle may be used to distribute X.509 trust anchors to workloads within the cluster. (kubernetes/kubernetes#113218, @ahmedtd) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Testing]

  • Added authorization check support to the CEL expressions of ValidatingAdmissionPolicy via a authorizer variable with expressions. The new variable provides a builder that allows expressions such authorizer.group('').resource('pods').check('create').allowed(). (kubernetes/kubernetes#116054, @jpbetz) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

  • Added matchConditions field to ValidatingAdmissionPolicy and enabled support for CEL based custom match criteria. (kubernetes/kubernetes#116350, @maxsmythe)

  • Added new option to the InterPodAffinity scheduler plugin to ignore existing podspreferred inter-pod affinities if the incoming pod has no preferred inter-pod affinities. This option can be used as an optimization for higher scheduling throughput (at the cost of an occasional pod being scheduled non-optimally/violating existing pods preferred inter-pod affinities). To enable this scheduler option, set theInterPodAffinityscheduler plugin argignorePreferredTermsOfExistingPods: true` (kubernetes/kubernetes#114393, @danielvegamyhre)

  • Added the MatchConditions field to ValidatingWebhookConfiguration and MutatingWebhookConfiguration for the v1beta and v1 apis.

    The AdmissionWebhookMatchConditions featuregate is now in Alpha (kubernetes/kubernetes#116261, @ivelichkovich) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

  • Added validation to ensure that if service.kubernetes.io/topology-aware-hints and service.kubernetes.io/topology-mode annotations are both set, they are set to the same value.Also Added deprecation warning if service.kubernetes.io/topology-aware-hints annotation is used. (kubernetes/kubernetes#116612, @robscott)

  • Added warnings about workload resources (Pods, ReplicaSets, Deployments, Jobs, CronJobs, or ReplicationControllers) whose names are not valid DNS labels. (kubernetes/kubernetes#114412, @thockin)

  • Adds feature gate NodeLogQuery which provides cluster administrators with a streaming view of logs using kubectl without them having to implement a client side reader or logging into the node. (kubernetes/kubernetes#96120, @LorbusChris)

  • Api: validation of a PodSpec now rejects invalid ResourceClaim and ResourceClaimTemplate names. For a pod, the name generated for the ResourceClaim when using a template also must be valid. (kubernetes/kubernetes#116576, @pohly)

  • Bump default API QPS limits for Kubelet. (kubernetes/kubernetes#116121, @wojtek-t)

  • Enabled the StatefulSetStartOrdinal feature gate in beta (kubernetes/kubernetes#115260, @pwschuurman)

  • Enabled usage of kube-proxy, kube-scheduler and kubelet HTTP APIs for changing the logging verbosity at runtime for JSON output. (kubernetes/kubernetes#114609, @pohly)

  • Encryption of API Server at rest configuration now allows the use of wildcards in the list of resources. For example, . can be used to encrypt all resources, including all current and future custom resources. (kubernetes/kubernetes#115149, @nilekhc)

  • Extended the kubelet's PodResources API to include resources allocated in ResourceClaims via DynamicResourceAllocation. Additionally, added a new Get() method to query a specific pod for its resources. (kubernetes/kubernetes#115847, @moshe010) [SIG Node]

  • Forbid to set matchLabelKeys when labelSelector is not set in topologySpreadConstraints (kubernetes/kubernetes#116535, @denkensk)

  • GCE does not support LoadBalancer Services with ports with different protocols (TCP and UDP) (kubernetes/kubernetes#115966, @aojea) [SIG Apps and Cloud Provider]

  • GRPC probes are now a GA feature. GRPCContainerProbe feature gate was locked to default value and will be removed in v1.29. If you were setting this feature gate explicitly, please remove it now. (kubernetes/kubernetes#116233, @SergeyKanzhelev)

  • Graduated Kubelet Topology Manager to GA. (kubernetes/kubernetes#116093, @swatisehgal)

  • Graduated KubeletTracing to beta, which means that the feature gate is now enabled by default. (kubernetes/kubernetes#115750, @saschagrunert)

  • Graduated seccomp profile defaulting to GA.

    Set the kubelet --seccomp-default flag or seccompDefault kubelet configuration field to true to make pods on that node default to using the RuntimeDefault seccomp profile.

    Enabling seccomp for your workload can have a negative performance impact depending on the kernel and container runtime version in use.

    Guidance for identifying and mitigating those issues is outlined in the Kubernetes seccomp tutorial. (kubernetes/kubernetes#115719, @saschagrunert) [SIG API Machinery, Node, Storage and Testing]

  • Graduated the container resource metrics feature on HPA to beta. (kubernetes/kubernetes#116046, @sanposhiho)

  • Implemented API streaming for the watch-cache

    When sendInitialEvents ListOption is set together with watch=true, it begins the watch stream with synthetic init events followed by a synthetic "Bookmark" after which the server continues streaming events. (kubernetes/kubernetes#110960, @p0lyn0mial)

  • Introduced API for streaming.

    Added SendInitialEvents field to the ListOptions. When the new option is set together with watch=true, it begins the watch stream with synthetic init events followed by a synthetic "Bookmark" after which the server continues streaming events. (kubernetes/kubernetes#115402, @p0lyn0mial)

  • Introduced a breaking change to the resource.k8s.io API in its AllocationResult struct. This change allows a kubelet plugin for the DynamicResourceAllocation feature to service allocations from multiple resource driver controllers. (kubernetes/kubernetes#116332, @klueska)

  • Introduces new alpha functionality to the reflector, allowing user to enable API streaming.

    To activate this feature, users can set the ENABLE_CLIENT_GO_WATCH_LIST_ALPHA environmental variable. It is important to note that the server must support streaming for this feature to function properly. If streaming is not supported by the server, the reflector will revert to the previous method of obtaining data through LIST/WATCH semantics. (kubernetes/kubernetes#110772, @p0lyn0mial) [SIG API Machinery]

  • K8s.io/client-go/tools/record.EventBroadcaster: after Shutdown() is called, the broadcaster now gives up immediately after a failure to write an event to a sink. Previously it tried multiple times for 12 seconds in a goroutine. (kubernetes/kubernetes#115514, @pohly) [SIG API Machinery]

  • K8s.io/component-base/logs: usage of the pflag values in a normal Go flag set led to panics when printing the help message (kubernetes/kubernetes#114680, @pohly) [SIG Instrumentation]

  • Kubeadm: explicitly set priority for static pods with priorityClassName: system-node-critical (kubernetes/kubernetes#114338, @champtar) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

    • service.kubernetes.io/topology-aware-hints annotation has been deprecated.
    • kube-proxy now accepts any value that is not "disabled" for these annotations, enabling custom implementation-specific and/or future built-in heuristics to be used. (kubernetes/kubernetes#116522, @robscott) [SIG Apps, Network and Testing]

  • Pods owned by a Job now uses the labels batch.kubernetes.io/job-name and batch.kubernetes.io/controller-uid. The legacy labels job-name and controller-uid are still added for compatibility. (kubernetes/kubernetes#114930, @kannon92)

  • Promoted CronJobTimeZone feature to GA (kubernetes/kubernetes#115904, @soltysh)

  • Promoted SelfSubjectReview to Beta (kubernetes/kubernetes#116274, @nabokihms) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, CLI and Testing]

  • Remove kubernetes.io/grpc standard appProtocol (kubernetes/kubernetes#116866, @LiorLieberman) [SIG API Machinery and Apps]

  • Remove deprecated --enable-taint-manager and --pod-eviction-timeout CLI (kubernetes/kubernetes#115840, @atosatto)

  • Removed support for the v1alpha1 kubeletplugin API of DynamicResourceManagement. All plugins must be updated to v1alpha2 in order to function properly. (kubernetes/kubernetes#116558, @klueska)

  • The API server now re-uses data encryption keys while the kms v2 plugin key ID is stable. Data encryption keys are still randomly generated on server start but an atomic counter is used to prevent nonce collisions. (kubernetes/kubernetes#116155, @enj)

  • The PodDisruptionBudget spec.unhealthyPodEvictionPolicy field has graduated to beta and is enabled by default. On servers with the feature enabled, this field may be set to AlwaysAllow to always allow unhealthy pods covered by the PodDisruptionBudget to be evicted. (kubernetes/kubernetes#115363, @ravisantoshgudimetla) [SIG Apps, Auth and Node]

  • The DownwardAPIHugePages kubelet feature graduated to stable / GA. (kubernetes/kubernetes#115721, @saschagrunert) [SIG Apps and Node]

  • The following feature gates for volume expansion GA features have now been removed and must no longer be referenced in --feature-gates flags: ExpandCSIVolumes, ExpandInUsePersistentVolumes, ExpandPersistentVolumes (kubernetes/kubernetes#113942, @mengjiao-liu)

  • The list-type of the alpha resourceClaims field introduced to Pods in 1.26.0 was modified from set to map, resolving an incompatibility with use of this schema in CustomResourceDefinitions and with server-side apply. (kubernetes/kubernetes#114585, @JoelSpeed)

  • StatefulSetAutoDeletePVC feature gate promoted to beta. (kubernetes/kubernetes#116501, @mattcary)

  • StatefulSet names must be DNS labels, rather than subdomains. Any StatefulSet which took advantage of subdomain validation (by having dots in the name) can't possibly have worked, because we eventually set pod.spec.hostname from the StatefulSetName, and that is validated as a DNS label. (kubernetes/kubernetes#114172, @thockin)

  • resource.k8s.io/v1alpha1 was replaced with resource.k8s.io/v1alpha2. Before upgrading a cluster, all objects in resource.k8s.io/v1alpha1 (ResourceClaim, ResourceClaimTemplate, ResourceClass, PodScheduling) must be deleted. The changes are internal, so YAML files which create pods and resource claims don't need changes except for the newer apiVersion. (kubernetes/kubernetes#116299, @pohly)

  • volumes: resource.claims is now cleared for PVC specs during create or update of a pod spec with inline PVC template or of a PVC because it has no effect. (kubernetes/kubernetes#115928, @pohly)

  • A terminating pod on a node that is not caused by preemption won't prevent kube-scheduler from preempting pods on that node

  • Added new option to the InterPodAffinity scheduler plugin to ignore existing pods` preferred inter-pod affinities if the incoming pod has no preferred inter-pod affinities. This option can be used as an optimization for higher scheduling throughput (at the cost of an occasional pod being scheduled non-optimally/violating existing pods' preferred inter-pod affinities). To enable this scheduler option, set the InterPodAffinity scheduler plugin arg "ignorePreferredTermsOfExistingPods: true". (kubernetes/kubernetes#114393, @danielvegamyhre) [SIG API Machinery and Scheduling]

  • Kubernetes components that perform leader election now only support using Leases for this. (kubernetes/kubernetes#114055, @aimuz) [SIG API Machinery, Cloud Provider and Scheduling]

  • StatefulSet names must be DNS labels, rather than subdomains. Any StatefulSet which took advantage of subdomain validation (by having dots in the name) can't possibly have worked, because we eventually set pod.spec.hostname from the StatefulSetName, and that is validated as a DNS label.

  • 'Added a ResourceClaim API (in the resource.k8s.io/v1alpha1 API group and behind the DynamicResourceAllocation feature gate). The new API is now more flexible than the existing Device Plugins feature of Kubernetes because it allows Pods to request (claim) special kinds of resources, which can be available at node level, cluster level, or following any other model you implement.' (kubernetes/kubernetes#111023, @pohly)

  • 'Container preStop and postStart lifecycle handlers using httpGet now honor the specified scheme and headers fields. This enables setting custom headers and changing the scheme to HTTPS, consistent with container startup/readiness/liveness probe capabilities. Lifecycle handlers configured with scheme: HTTPS that encounter errors indicating the endpoint is actually using HTTP fall back to making the request over HTTP for compatibility with previous releases. When this happens, a LifecycleHTTPFallback event is recorded in the namespace of the pod and a kubelet_lifecycle_handler_http_fallbacks_total metric in the kubelet is incremented. Cluster administrators can opt out of the expanded lifecycle handler capabilities by setting --feature-gates=ConsistentHTTPGetHandlers=false in kubelet.' (kubernetes/kubernetes#86139, @jasimmons)

  • 'Graduated JobTrackingWithFinalizers to stable. Jobs created before the feature was enabled are still tracked without finalizers. Jobs tracked with finalizers have the annotation batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking. If the annotation is present and the user attempts to remove it, the control plane adds it back. The annotation batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking is now deprecated. The control plane will ignore it and stop adding it for new Jobs in v1.27.' (kubernetes/kubernetes#113510, @alculquicondor)

  • 'Kubelet added the following Pod failure conditions:

  • 'Priority and Fairness has introduced a new feature called borrowing that allows an API priority level to borrow a number of seats from other priority level(s). As a cluster operator, you can enable borrowing for a certain priority level configuration object via the two newly introduced fields lendablePercent, and borrowingLimitPercent located under the .spec.limited field of the designated priority level. This change added the following metrics:

    • apiserver_flowcontrol_nominal_limit_seats: Nominal number of execution seats configured for each priority level

    • apiserver_flowcontrol_current_limit_seats: current derived number of execution seats available to each priority level The possibility of borrowing means that the old metric apiserver_flowcontrol_request_concurrency_limit can no longer mean both the configured concurrency limit and the enforced concurrency limit. Henceforth it means the configured concurrency limit.' (kubernetes/kubernetes#113485, @MikeSpreitzer)

v24.1.0a1

Kubernetes API Version: v1.24.1

API Change

  • Add 2 new options for kube-proxy running in winkernel mode. --forward-healthcheck-vip, if specified as true, health check traffic whose destination is service VIP will be forwarded to kube-proxy's healthcheck service. --root-hnsendpoint-name specifies the name of the hns endpoint for the root network namespace. This option enables the pass-through load balancers like Google's GCLB to correctly health check the backend services. Without this change, the health check packets is dropped, and Windows node will be considered to be unhealthy by those load balancers. (kubernetes/kubernetes#99287, @anfernee)
  • Added CEL runtime cost calculation into CustomerResource validation. CustomerResource validation will fail if runtime cost exceeds the budget. (kubernetes/kubernetes#108482, @cici37)

(kubernetes/kubernetes#108889, @kevindelgado) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, CLI and Testing]
  • The infrastructure for contextual logging is complete (feature gate implemented, JSON backend ready). (kubernetes/kubernetes#108995, @pohly) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, Auth, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Network, Node, Scheduling and Testing]
  • This adds an optional timeZone field as part of the CronJob spec to support running cron jobs in a specific time zone. (kubernetes/kubernetes#108032, @deejross) [SIG API Machinery and Apps]
  • Add 2 new options for kube-proxy running in winkernel mode. --forward-healthcheck-vip, if specified as true, health check traffic whose destination is service VIP will be forwarded to kube-proxy's healthcheck service. --root-hnsendpoint-name specifies the name of the hns endpoint for the root network namespace. This option enables the pass-through load balancers like Google's GCLB to correctly health check the backend services. Without this change, the health check packets is dropped, and Windows node will be considered to be unhealthy by those load balancers. (kubernetes/kubernetes#99287, @anfernee) [SIG API Machinery, Cloud Provider, Network, Testing and Windows]

Prior to 1.21, these requests would merge matchLabels content and replace matchExpressions content. In 1.21, patch requests touching the selector field started replacing the entire selector. This is consistent with server-side apply and the v1 PodDisruptionBudget behavior, but should not have been changed for v1beta1. (kubernetes/kubernetes#108138, @liggitt) [SIG Apps, Auth and Testing]
  • Kube-apiserver: --audit-log-version and --audit-webhook-version now only support the default value of audit.k8s.io/v1. The v1alpha1 and v1beta1 audit log versions, deprecated since 1.13, have been removed. (kubernetes/kubernetes#108092, @carlory) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Testing]

  • Kube-apiserver: the metadata.selfLink field can no longer be populated by kube-apiserver; it was deprecated in 1.16 and has not been populated by default in 1.20+. (kubernetes/kubernetes#107527, @wojtek-t) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Autoscaling, CLI, Cloud Provider, Network, Scheduling, Storage and Testing]
  • Add a new metric webhook_fail_open_count to monitor webhooks that fail open (kubernetes/kubernetes#107171, @ltagliamonte-dd) [SIG API Machinery and Instrumentation]
  • Fix failed flushing logs in defer function when kubelet cmd exit 1. (kubernetes/kubernetes#104774, @kerthcet) [SIG Node and Scheduling]

API Change

v23.3.0a1

Kubernetes API Version: v1.23.3

API Change

  • A new field omitManagedFields has been added to both audit.Policy and audit.PolicyRule so cluster operators can opt in to omit managed fields of the request and response bodies from being written to the API audit log. (kubernetes/kubernetes#94986, @tkashem) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Cloud Provider and Testing]

  • A small regression in Service updates was fixed. The circumstances are so unlikely that probably nobody would ever hit it. (kubernetes/kubernetes#104601, @thockin)

  • Added a feature gate StatefulSetAutoDeletePVC, which allows PVCs automatically created for StatefulSet pods to be automatically deleted. (kubernetes/kubernetes#99728, @mattcary)

(kubernetes/kubernetes#106163, @aojea) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Architecture, Auth, Autoscaling, CLI, Cloud Provider, Contributor Experience, Instrumentation, Network, Node, Release, Scalability, Scheduling, Storage, Testing and Windows]

  • If a conflict occurs when creating an object with generateName, the server now returns an "AlreadyExists" error with a retry option. (kubernetes/kubernetes#104699, @vincepri)

  • Implement support for recovering from volume expansion failures (kubernetes/kubernetes#106154, @gnufied) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Storage]

  • In kubelet, log verbosity and flush frequency can also be configured via the configuration file and not just via command line flags. In other commands (kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager), the flags are listed in the "Logs flags" group and not under "Global" or "Misc". The type for -vmodule was made a bit more descriptive (pattern=N,... instead of moduleSpec). (kubernetes/kubernetes#106090, @pohly) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, CLI, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Node and Scheduling]

  • Introduce OS field in the PodSpec (kubernetes/kubernetes#104693, @ravisantoshgudimetla)

  • Introduce v1beta3 API for scheduler. This version

    • increases the weight of user specifiable priorities. The weights of following priority plugins are increased

      • TaintTolerations to 3 - as leveraging node tainting to group nodes in the cluster is becoming a widely-adopted practice
      • NodeAffinity to 2
      • InterPodAffinity to 2

    • Won't have HealthzBindAddress, MetricsBindAddress fields (kubernetes/kubernetes#104251, @ravisantoshgudimetla)

  • Introduce v1beta2 for Priority and Fairness with no changes in API spec. (kubernetes/kubernetes#104399, @tkashem)

  • JSON log output is configurable and now supports writing info messages to stdout and error messages to stderr. Info messages can be buffered in memory. The default is to write both to stdout without buffering, as before. (kubernetes/kubernetes#104873, @pohly)

  • JobTrackingWithFinalizers graduates to beta. Feature is enabled by default. (kubernetes/kubernetes#105687, @alculquicondor)

  • Kube-apiserver: Fixes handling of CRD schemas containing literal null values in enums. (kubernetes/kubernetes#104969, @liggitt)

  • Kube-apiserver: The rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1alpha1 API version is removed; use the rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1 API, available since v1.8. The scheduling.k8s.io/v1alpha1 API version is removed; use the scheduling.k8s.io/v1 API, available since v1.14. (kubernetes/kubernetes#104248, @liggitt)

  • Kube-scheduler: support for configuration file version v1beta1 is removed. Update configuration files to v1beta2(xref: kubernetes/enhancements#2901) or v1beta3 before upgrading to 1.23. (kubernetes/kubernetes#104782, @kerthcet)

  • KubeSchedulerConfiguration provides a new field MultiPoint which will register a plugin for all valid extension points (kubernetes/kubernetes#105611, @damemi) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]

  • Kubernetes is now built using go 1.17. (kubernetes/kubernetes#103692, @justaugustus)

  • Performs strict server side schema validation requests via the fieldValidation=[Strict,Warn,Ignore]. (kubernetes/kubernetes#105916, @kevindelgado)

  • Promote IPv6DualStack feature to stable. Controller Manager flags for the node IPAM controller have slightly changed:

    1. When configuring a dual-stack cluster, the user must specify both --node-cidr-mask-size-ipv4 and --node-cidr-mask-size-ipv6 to set the per-node IP mask sizes, instead of the previous --node-cidr-mask-size flag.
    2. The --node-cidr-mask-size flag is mutually exclusive with --node-cidr-mask-size-ipv4 and --node-cidr-mask-size-ipv6.
    3. Single-stack clusters do not need to change, but may choose to use the more specific flags. Users can use either the older --node-cidr-mask-size flag or one of the newer --node-cidr-mask-size-ipv4 or --node-cidr-mask-size-ipv6 flags to configure the per-node IP mask size, provided that the flag's IP family matches the cluster's IP family (--cluster-cidr). (kubernetes/kubernetes#104691, @khenidak)

  • Remove NodeLease feature gate that was graduated and locked to stable in 1.17 release. (kubernetes/kubernetes#105222, @cyclinder)

  • Removed deprecated --seccomp-profile-root/seccompProfileRoot config. (kubernetes/kubernetes#103941, @saschagrunert)

  • Since golang 1.17 both net.ParseIP and net.ParseCIDR rejects leading zeros in the dot-decimal notation of IPv4 addresses, Kubernetes will keep allowing leading zeros on IPv4 address to not break the compatibility. IMPORTANT: Kubernetes interprets leading zeros on IPv4 addresses as decimal, users must not rely on parser alignment to not being impacted by the associated security advisory: CVE-2021-29923 golang standard library "net" - Improper Input Validation of octal literals in golang 1.16.2 and below standard library "net" results in indeterminate SSRF & RFI vulnerabilities. Reference: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-29923 (kubernetes/kubernetes#104368, @aojea)

  • The IngressClass.Spec.Parameters.Namespace field is now GA. (kubernetes/kubernetes#104636, @hbagdi)

  • The Service.spec.ipFamilyPolicy field is now required in order to create or update a Service as dual-stack. This is a breaking change from the beta behavior. Previously the server would try to infer the value of that field from either ipFamilies or clusterIPs, but that caused ambiguity on updates. Users who want a dual-stack Service MUST specify ipFamilyPolicy as either "PreferDualStack" or "RequireDualStack". (kubernetes/kubernetes#96684, @thockin)

  • The TTLAfterFinished feature gate is now GA and enabled by default. (kubernetes/kubernetes#105219, @sahilvv)

  • The kube-controller-manager supports --concurrent-ephemeralvolume-syncs flag to set the number of ephemeral volume controller workers. (kubernetes/kubernetes#102981, @SataQiu)

Migrate to Component Config instead, see https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/scheduling/config/ for details. (kubernetes/kubernetes#105424, @kerthcet)

  • Track the number of Pods with a Ready condition in Job status. The feature is alpha and needs the feature gate JobReadyPods to be enabled. (kubernetes/kubernetes#104915, @alculquicondor)

  • Users of LogFormatRegistry in component-base must update their code to use the logr v1.0.0 API. The JSON log output now uses the format from go-logr/zapr (no v field for error messages, additional information for invalid calls) and has some fixes (correct source code location for warnings about invalid log calls). (kubernetes/kubernetes#104103, @pohly)

  • Validation rules for Custom Resource Definitions can be written in the CEL expression language using the x-kubernetes-validations extension in OpenAPIv3 schemas (alpha).

  • Added field .status.uncountedTerminatedPods to the Job resource. This field is used by the job controller to keep track of finished pods before adding them to the Job status counters. Pods created by the job controller get the finalizer batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking Jobs that are tracked using this mechanism get the annotation batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking. This is a temporary measure. Two releases after this feature graduates to beta, the annotation won't be added to Jobs anymore. (kubernetes/kubernetes#98817, @alculquicondor)

  • Added new kubelet alpha feature SeccompDefault. This feature enables falling back to the RuntimeDefault (former runtime/default) seccomp profile if nothing else is specified in the pod/container SecurityContext or the pod annotation level.

  • The BoundServiceAccountTokenVolume feature has been promoted to beta, and enabled by default.
    • This changes the tokens provided to containers at /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token to be time-limited, auto-refreshed, and invalidated when the containing pod is deleted.
    • Clients should reload the token from disk periodically (once per minute is recommended) to ensure they continue to use a valid token. k8s.io/client-go version v11.0.0+ and v0.15.0+ reload tokens automatically.
    • By default, injected tokens are given an extended lifetime so they remain valid even after a new refreshed token is provided. The metric serviceaccount_stale_tokens_total can be used to monitor for workloads that are depending on the extended lifetime and are continuing to use tokens even after a refreshed token is provided to the container. If that metric indicates no existing workloads are depending on extended lifetimes, injected token lifetime can be shortened to 1 hour by starting kube-apiserver with --service-account-extend-token-expiration=false. (kubernetes/kubernetes#95667, @zshihang) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Cluster Lifecycle and Testing]
  • The EndpointSlice Controllers are now GA. The EndpointSliceController will not populate the deprecatedTopology field and will only provide topology information through the zone and nodeName fields. (kubernetes/kubernetes#99870, @swetharepakula)
  • The Endpoints controller will now set the endpoints.kubernetes.io/over-capacity annotation to "warning" when an Endpoints resource contains more than 1000 addresses. In a future release, the controller will truncate Endpoints that exceed this limit. The EndpointSlice API can be used to support significantly larger number of addresses. (kubernetes/kubernetes#99975, @robscott) [SIG Apps and Network]
  • The PodDisruptionBudget API has been promoted to policy/v1 with no schema changes.

  • The BoundServiceAccountTokenVolume feature has been promoted to beta, and enabled by default.
    • This changes the tokens provided to containers at /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token to be time-limited, auto-refreshed, and invalidated when the containing pod is deleted.
    • Clients should reload the token from disk periodically (once per minute is recommended) to ensure they continue to use a valid token. k8s.io/client-go version v11.0.0+ and v0.15.0+ reload tokens automatically.
    • By default, injected tokens are given an extended lifetime so they remain valid even after a new refreshed token is provided. The metric serviceaccount_stale_tokens_total can be used to monitor for workloads that are depending on the extended lifetime and are continuing to use tokens even after a refreshed token is provided to the container. If that metric indicates no existing workloads are depending on extended lifetimes, injected token lifetime can be shortened to 1 hour by starting kube-apiserver with --service-account-extend-token-expiration=false.

Pods can select a RunitmeClass to use via the RuntimeClassName field. This feature is in alpha, and the RuntimeClass feature gate must be enabled in order to use it kubernetes/kubernetes#67737
  • The PodShareProcessNamespace feature to configure PID namespace sharing within a pod has been promoted to beta kubernetes/kubernetes#66507
  • To address the possibility dry-run requests overwhelming admission webhooks that rely on side effects and a reconciliation mechanism, a new field is being added to admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1beta1.ValidatingWebhookConfiguration and admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1beta1.MutatingWebhookConfiguration so that webhooks can explicitly register as having dry-run support. If a dry-run request is made on a resource that triggers a non dry-run supporting webhook, the request will be completely rejected, with "400: Bad Request". Additionally, a new field is being added to the admission.k8s.io/v1beta1.AdmissionReview API object, exposing to webhooks whether or not the request being reviewed is a dry-run kubernetes/kubernetes#66936
