AKS - Release 2022-06-05

Published by miwithro over 2 years ago

Release 2022-06-05

This release is rolling out to all regions - estimated time for completed roll out is 2022-06-17 for public cloud and 2022-06-20 for sovereign clouds.

Announcements

  • Starting with the June 26th, 2022 AKS release, Azure NPM will increase its pod memory limit from 300 MB to 1 GB for clusters with the uptime SLA enabled. Requests will stay at 300 MB.
  • Starting with Kubernetes 1.24, the following changes will be made:
    • The default format of clusterUser credential for AAD enabled clusters will be ‘exec’, which requires kubelogin binary in the execution PATH. If you are using Azure CLI, it will prompt users to download kubelogin. There will be no behavior change for non-AAD clusters, or AAD clusters whose version is older than 1.24. Existing downloaded kubeconfig will still work. We provide an optional query parameter ‘format’ when getting clusterUser credential to overwrite the default behavior change, you can explicitly specify format to ‘azure’ to get old format kubeconfig.
    • The NodeRestriction Admission Controller will be enabled
    • CoreDNS version 1.9.2 will be default version. With this new version of CoreDNS wildcard queries are no longer allowed.
    • metrics-server version 0.6.1 will be the default version.
  • Konnectivity rollout will continue in May 2022 and is expected to complete by end of June.
  • Update your AKS labels to the recommended substitutions before deprecation after the Kubernetes v1.24 release. See more information on label deprecations and how to update your labels in the Use labels in an AKS cluster documentation.

Release notes

  • Features
  • Behavioral Changes
    • Set agentPoolProfile default maxPods for new agentpools to align with the expected default maxPods based on the cluster's network configuration.
    • Reverted the changes of request values to api server to reduce churn on Uptime SLA enabled AKS clusters.
    • Konnectivity agent now uses a new Service Account konnectivity-agent, instead of the default Service Account.
  • Bug fixes
  • Component Updates

AKS - Release 2022-05-01

Published by phealy over 2 years ago

Release 2022-05-01

This release is rolling out to all regions - estimated time for completed roll out is 2022-05-13 for public cloud and 2022-05-16 for sovereign clouds.

Release notes

  • Public preview
  • Behavioral changes
    • Kube-proxy now detects local traffic using the local interface subnet instead of cluster CIDR when using Azure CNI. For clusters that have agent pools in separate subnets, this ensures that kube-proxy NAT rules do not interfere with network policies enforced by Azure NPM. The configuration change applies to clusters running Azure CNI and Kubernetes version 1.23.3 or later.
    • Clusters deployed with outboundType loadBalancer but deployed in a subnet with an attached NAT gateway will be updatable. Deployment of clusters into a bring-your-own-vnet subnet with a NAT Gateway already attached will be blocked unless outboundType userAssignedNATGateway is passed. See NAT Gateway in the AKS Documentation for more details.

      upgrade in the respective nodepool(s) should be added in the request.

AKS - Release 2022-03-20

Published by phealy over 2 years ago

Release 2022-03-20

This release is rolling out to all regions - estimated time for completed roll out is 2022-04-03 for public cloud and 2022-04-06 for sovereign clouds. Please note that the AKS release cadence has shifted; new releases will now be cut on Sunday.

Announcements

  • Upgrade your AKS Ubuntu 18.04 worker nodes to VHD version 2022.03.20 or newer to address CVE-2022-23648.
  • From Kubernetes 1.23, containerd will be the default container runtime for Windows node pools. Docker support will be deprecated in Kubernetes 1.24. You are advised to test your workloads before Docker deprecation happens by following the documentation here.

  • Behavioral changes
    • Accelerated networking will now be enabled by default for newly-created Windows nodepools.
    • The single placement group VMSS flag will now be enabled for newly-created node pools using InfiniBand/RDMA-capable VM sizes. InfiniBand/RDMA-capable SKUs, like most H-series and some N-series sizes, can be identified by the "r" in the additional features section of the size name (e.g. Standard_HB120rs_v3, Standard_ND96asr_v4). Note that the InfiniBand drivers are not currently loaded to nodes. Loading these via a DaemonSet will come in the near future.
  • Bug fixes
    • The 2022.03.20+ AKS Ubuntu 18.04 images fix an issue (present since 2022.02.19) in which an unneeded Azure security agent was installed, leading to higher than expected memory consumption on nodes.
    • Improved error handling to resolve a bug where a cluster stop operation may show an inconsistent state, leading to a cluster that is stuck in the "Stopping" state or moves to the "Failed" state. If a cluster is stuck in this state currently, running az resource update --ids <cluster resource ID> should resolve the issue.

  • Starting in Kubernetes 1.23 AKS Metrics server deployment will start having 2 pods instead of 1 for HA, which will increase the memory requests of the system by 54Mb.

Release Notes

  • Behavioral changes
    • AKS will now create pseudo-random IPv6 address ranges for the Kubernetes pod and service IPs for new dual-stack clusters when --pod-cidrs or --service-cidrs are omitted instead of a default static value. These ranges will be generated with the method suggested in RFC 4193.
    • Removed secret RBAC for azure disk csi driver.
    • Increased csi-resizer timeout from 60s to 120s.
  • Component Updates

We will update the release notes will the upcoming schedule going forward until all regions are deployed.
  • AKS and Holiday Season: To ease the burden of upgrade and change during the holiday season, AKS is extending a limited scope of support for all clusters and node pools on 1.19 as a courtesy. Customers with clusters and node pools on 1.19 after the announced deprecation date of 2021-11-30 will be granted an extension of capabilities outside the usual scope of support for deprecated versions.
    The scope of this limited extension is effective from '2021-12-01 to 2022-01-31' and is limited to the following:
    • Creation of new clusters and node pools on 1.19.
    • CRUD operations on 1.19 clusters.
    • Azure Support of non-Kubernetes related, platform issues. Platform issues include trouble with networking, storage, or compute running on Azure. Any support requests for K8s patching and troubleshooting will be requested to upgrade into a supported version.

Release Notes

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed a bug such that the nodes on 1.21 wont be able to start with the DelegateFSGroupToCSIDriver feature flag. This feature flag is only introduced to kubelet in 1.22.
    • A WindowsGmsaProfile certificate renewal issue during certificate rotation has been identified and fixed.
    • Added the component=tunnel label to konnectivity-agent pods so they will be matched by any label selectors that previously matched tunnelfront pods. This only applies to clusters that have received the new Konnectivity network tunnel.
  • Behavioral Changes
    • Increased cpu limits of csi driver node daemonsets from 200m to 1cpu in order to prevent cpu throttling.
  • Component Updates
