Release notes for kOps 1.26 series

⚠ kOps 1.26 has not been released yet! ⚠

This is a document to gather the release notes prior to the release.

Significant changes

  • The default networking provider for new clusters is now Cilium.

  • Control-plane instance groups in new clusters are now created with names starting with "control-plane-". The names of groups for existing clusters are unchanged.

  • The channels CLI that kOps use to manage addons is now bundled with the kOps binary. These commands are useful for addon diagnostics and troubleshooting. For example, to list installed addons, run kops toolbox addons get addons.

AWS

  • Bastions are now fronted by a Network Load Balancer.

  • Instance group images can now be dynamically fetched through an AWS SSM Parameter.

  • The AWS Load Balancer, when enabled, will run on worker nodes if IRSA is enabled as of Kubernetes version 1.24.

  • As of Kubernetes version 1.26 and with IRSA enabled, control plane nodes will now run with a max hop limit of 1 for the metadata service. This will prevent Pods without host networking from accessing the instance metadata service.

  • IPv6 is now beta. New IPv6 clusters now default to using private topology.

  • CapacityRebalance can be enabled/disabled on ASGs through a new capacityRebalance field in InstanceGroup specs.

  • New clusters can more easily be configured to use Cilium in ENI mode by setting --networking=cilium-eni.

  • Node Termination Handler now defaults to Queue-Processor mode. It also now enables Scheduled Event Draining by default.

  • Node Termination Handler, when in Queue-Processor mode, no longer drains on rebalance recommendations unless configured to do so.

  • When an S3 bucket for Service Account Issuer Discovery (IRSA) is public, kOps no longer sets object-level ACLs on the files placed therein.

GCP

  • The default instance type is now e2-medium for control-plane and worker nodes, and e2-micro for bastions.
