1.0 KiB

This is a WIP document describing changes to the upcoming kops 1.8 release

Significant changes

  • flannel now has a backend property in the manifest, which can be either udp or vxlan. udp is not recommended, but will be the default value for existing clusters or clusters created via manifests. kops create cluster with --networking flannel will use vxlan, --networking flannel-vxlan or --networking flannel-udp can be specified to explicitly choose a backend mode.

Required Actions

  • Existing Calico users on clusters that were created prior to kops 1.8.0 need to be updated for the new "DefaultDeny" behavior for Kubernetes NetworkPolicies. See the Changes to k8s-policy section in the Calico release notes for help.

Full changelist

  • ExperimentalCriticalPodAnnotation feature gate is now enabled by default in kubelet @andreychernih #3345
