Changelog

All notable changes to this project are documented in this file.

0.35.0

Release date: 2023-03-08

This prerelease adds support for disabling the cache of the kstatus status poller, which is used to determine the health of the resources applied by the controller. To disable the cache, configure the Deployment of the controller with --feature-gates=DisableStatusPollerCache=true.

This may have a positive impact on memory usage on large clusters with many objects, at the cost of an increased number of API calls.

In addition, klog has been configured to log using the same logger as the rest of the controller (providing a consistent log format), and the controller will reveal validation errors when force applying resources with immutable field changes.

Lastly, the controller is now built using Go 1.20, and the dependencies have been updated to their latest versions.

Improvements:

  • api: update description LastAppliedRevision #798
  • Update Go to 1.20 #806
  • Update dependencies #807 #811
  • Use logger.SetLogger to also configure klog #809

0.34.0

Release date: 2023-02-17

This prerelease adds support for parsing the RFC-0005 revision format produced by source-controller >=v0.35.0.

In addition, the controller dependencies have been updated to their latest versions.

Improvements:

  • Support RFC-0005 revision format #793
  • Update dependencies #796

0.33.0

Release date: 2023-02-01

This prerelease comes with support for recreating immutable resources (e.g. Kubernetes Jobs) by annotating or labeling them with kustomize.toolkit.fluxcd.io/force: enabled.

The caching of Secret and ConfigMap resources has been disabled to improve memory usage. To opt-out from this behavior, start the controller with: --feature-gates=CacheSecretsAndConfigMaps=true.

In addition, the controller dependencies have been updated to Kubernetes v1.26.1 and controller-runtime v0.14.2. The controller base image has been updated to Alpine 3.17 (which contains CVE fixes for OS packages).

Improvements:

  • Allow force apply to be configured in metadata #787
  • Disable caching of Secrets and ConfigMaps #789
  • build: Enable SBOM and SLSA Provenance #787
  • build: Update Alpine to 3.17 #786
  • build: pdate source-controller/api to v0.34.0 #790
  • build: Download CRD deps only when necessary #783
  • test: Enable kstatus checks #784

0.32.0

Release date: 2022-12-20

This prerelease comes with experimental support for Kustomize components.

In addition, the AWS and Google Cloud KMS dependencies have been updated to match the latest stable release from upstream.

Improvements:

  • Add support for Kustomize components #754
  • Update dependencies #780

0.31.0

Release date: 2022-11-18

This prerelease comes with improvements to the manifests generation component. The Kustomize overlay build logic has been factored out into github.com/fluxcd/pkg/kustomize so that both the controller and the Flux CLI (flux buid kustomization) share the same code base.

In addition, the controller dependencies have been updated to Kubernetes v1.25.4 and controller-runtime v0.13.1. The Azure Vault SDK used for secrets decryption has been updated to match the latest stable release from upstream.

Improvements:

  • Refactor: Generate manifests with flux/pkg/kustomize #763
  • Update keyvault/azkeys Azure SDK to v0.9.0 #759
  • Update Source API to v0.32.1 #768

0.30.0

Release date: 2022-10-21

This prerelease comes with new status condition named Reconciling which improves the observability for the actions performed by the controller during a reconciliation run. The Kustomization.status.conditions have been aligned with Kubernetes standard conditions and kstatus.

In addition, the controller memory usage was reduced by 90% when performing artifact operations and can now better handle the reconciliation of large sources in-parallel.

Improvements:

  • Optimise the memory usage of artifact operations #747
  • Refactor: Adopt Flux runtime conditions and status standards #745
  • Refactor: Remove docs which overlap with Flux website #746

  • Refactor: Extract decrytor to internal package #739
  • Support alternative kustomization file names #738
  • API: allow configuration of h unit for timeouts #749
  • Update dependencies #750

0.29.0

Release date: 2022-09-29

This prerelease comes with strict validation rules for API fields which define a (time) duration. Effectively, this means values without a time unit (e.g. ms, s, m, h) will now be rejected by the API server. To stimulate sane configurations, the units ns, us and µs can no longer be configured, nor can h be set for fields defining a timeout value.

In addition, the controller dependencies have been updated to Kubernetes controller-runtime v0.13.

⚠️ Breaking changes:

  • .spec.interval new validation pattern is "^([0-9]+(\\.[0-9]+)?(ms|s|m|h))+$"
  • .spec.retryInterval new validation pattern is "^([0-9]+(\\.[0-9]+)?(ms|s|m|h))+$"
  • .spec.timeout new validation pattern is "^([0-9]+(\\.[0-9]+)?(ms|s|m))+$"

Improvements:

  • api: add custom validation for v1.Duration types #731
  • Build with Go 1.19 #733
  • Update dependencies #735

Fixes:

  • Fix health checking for global objects #730

0.28.0

Release date: 2022-09-12

This prerelease comes with improvements to reconciling Kubernetes class type objects, SOPS decryption and fuzzing. In addition, the controller dependencies have been updated to Kubernetes controller-runtime v0.12.

⚠️ Breaking change: The controller logs have been aligned with the Kubernetes structured logging. For more details on the new logging structure please see: fluxcd/flux2#3051.

Improvements:

  • Align controller logs to Kubernetes structured logging #718
  • Reconcile Kubernetes class type objects in a dedicated stage #720
  • Sort SOPS masterkeys so offline decrypt methods are tried first #726
  • SOPS: Update the AWS SDK for KMS #721
  • Refactor Fuzzers based on Go native fuzzing #723
  • Fuzz optimisations #722
  • Update dependencies #724

0.27.1

Release date: 2022-08-29

This prerelease comes with panic recovery, to protect the controller from crashing when reconciliations lead to a crash.

In addition, the controller dependencies have been updated to Kubernetes v1.25.0.

Improvements:

  • Enable RecoverPanic option on reconciler #708
  • Update Kubernetes packages to v1.25.0 #714
  • Add file path to sops decryption errors #706
  • Update doc on target namespace #712

0.27.0

In addition, the controller has been updated to Kubernetes v1.24.3 and Kustomize v4.5.7.

Features:

  • Add support for OCIRepository sources #684

Improvements:

  • Update dependencies #704

0.26.3

Release date: 2022-07-13

This prerelease adds a retry mechanism for "not found" errors when downloading artifacts and recovers from SOPS store panics. Some dependencies have also been updated to patch upstream CVEs.

Fixes:

  • decryptor: recover from SOPS store panic #691

Improvements:

  • Retry downloading artifacts on not found errors #689
  • Update dependencies #692 #696
  • build: Upgrade to Go 1.18 #694

0.26.2

Release date: 2022-06-29

Fixes:

  • Fix job wait by adding polling options to impersonation client #687

0.26.1

Release date: 2022-06-08

This prerelease comes with documentation improvements on how to generate image pull secrets from SOPS encrypted .dockerconfigjson files.

In addition, the controller has been updated to Kubernetes v1.24.1.

Improvements:

  • docs: Add example section and dockerconfigjson encryption #675
  • Update dependencies #676
  • Update fluxcd/pkg dependencies #677

0.26.0

Release date: 2022-06-01

This prerelease comes with support for configuring the authentication to AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault and GCP KMS on multi-tenant clusters. A tenant can create a secret in their namespace with their KMS credentials and supply it to Flux using Kustomization.spec.decryption.secretRef. For more details on how to configure SOPS decryption with KMS, see the docs.

Starting with this version, the controller conforms to the Kubernetes API Priority and Fairness. The controller detects if the server-side throttling is enabled and uses the advertised rate limits. When server-side throttling is enabled, the controller ignores the --kube-api-qps and --kube-api-burst flags.

In addition, Kustomize has been updated to v4.5.5 which comes with significant performance improvements for OpenAPI parsing.

Improvements:

  • Support AWS KMS credentials using decryption secretRef #641 #667
  • Support GCP KMS credentials using decryption secretRef #635
  • Update SOPS to v3.7.3 #647
  • Update controller to kustomize v4.5.5 #660
  • Update dependencies #650
  • Update Alpine to v3.16 #661
  • Update go-yaml to v3.0.0 #665
  • Update source-controller/api to v0.25.0 #671

Fixes:

  • Set digests in image override #655

0.25.0

Release date: 2022-05-03

This prerelease adds support for disallowing remote bases in Kustomize overlays using --no-remote-bases=true (default: false). When this flag is enabled on the controller, all resources must refer to local files included in the Source Artifact, meaning only the Flux Sources can affect the cluster-state. Users are encouraged to enable it on production systems for security and performance reasons.

In addition, support has been introduced for defining a KubeConfig Secret data key in the .spec.kubeConfig.SecretRef.key (default: value or value.yaml), and dependencies have been updated.

Improvements:

  • Support defining a KubeConfig Secret data key #615 #645
  • Disallow remote bases usage in Kustomize overlays #638
  • decryptor: improve detection of in and out formats for Secret data fields #644

0.24.4

Release date: 2022-04-28

This prerelease ensures we recover from Kustomize build panics to guarantee continuity of operations when running into invalid object data.

In addition, handling of file formats while decrypting Secret generator entries with SOPS has been improved to ensure encrypted files in format A can be decrypted to target format B.

Fixes:

  • Use Secret generator keys for SOPS format hint #636

Improvements:

  • generator: recover from kustomize build panics #637

0.24.3

Release date: 2022-04-22

This prerelease allows for configuring the exponential back-off retry, already introduced in other Flux controllers. It can be configured with the new flags: --min-retry-delay (default: 750ms) and --max-retry-delay (default: 15min). Previously the defaults were set to 5ms and 1000s.

Fixes:

  • Ensure generated temp dir is absolute on all OSes #630

Improvements:

  • feat: flags to configure exponential backoff retry #631
  • Update source-controller to v0.24.1 #632

0.24.2

Release date: 2022-04-21

This prerelease updates the Go golang.org/x/crypto dependency to latest to please static security analysers (CVE-2022-27191).

Fixes:

  • Update golang.org/x/crypto #628

0.24.1

Release date: 2022-04-20

This prerelease fixes a regression bug introduced in #620, which prevented remote build directories from being reachable within the FS.

Fixes:

  • generator: ensure remote build dirs can be reached #626

0.24.0

Release date: 2022-04-19

This prerelease matures the Kustomize decryptor service, which handles the actual decryption of SOPS' encrypted Secrets, and now allows decrypting file sources referenced in Kustomization files.

In addition, Kustomize now operates using our own file system implementation, and dependencies have been updated to their latest versions.

Improvements:

  • controllers: improve decryptor and add tests #619
  • controllers: use own Kustomize FS implementation #620
  • Update dependencies #621 #622

0.23.0

Release date: 2022-04-05

This prerelease adds some breaking changes around the use and handling of kubeconfigs files for remote reconciliations. Implements health checks for kubernetes jobs and updates documentation.

SOPS implementation was refactored to include various improvements and extended code coverage. Age identities are now imported once and reused multiple times, optimising CPU and memory usage between decryption operations.

Breaking changes:

  • Use of file-based KubeConfig options are now permanently disabled (e.g. TLSClientConfig.CAFile, TLSClientConfig.KeyFile, TLSClientConfig.CertFile and BearerTokenFile). The drive behind the change was to discourage insecure practices of mounting Kubernetes tokens inside the controller's container file system.
  • Use of TLSClientConfig.Insecure in KubeConfig file is disabled by default, but can enabled at controller level with the flag --insecure-kubeconfig-tls.
  • Use of ExecProvider in KubeConfig file is now disabled by default, but can enabled at controller level with the flag --insecure-kubeconfig-exec.

Improvements:

  • Add kubeconfig flags #593
  • sops: various improvements and tests #607
  • docs/spec/v1beta2: fix recommended settings typo #609
  • Implement health check for Kubernetes jobs #608
  • Update KubeConfig documentation #611

0.22.3

Release date: 2022-03-29

This prerelease fixes a compatability issue between SOPS' Azure Key Vault integration, and the controller's. In addition, Kustomize has been updated to v4.5.4 to address an issue with ConfigMap and Secret generators.

Fixes:

  • sops/azkv: ensure compatibility with upstream #604
  • Update Kustomize to v4.5.4 #606

0.22.2

Release date: 2022-03-25

This prerelease fixes a regression bug where the SOPS keyservice would not properly fall back to the default server for Azure Key Vault decryption requests.

In addition, Kustomize has been updated to v4.5.3 to address an issue with YAML anchors.

Improvements:

  • Update Kustomize to v4.5.3 #594
  • Update source-controller API to v0.22.3 #596

Fixes:

  • sops/keyservice: properly fallback to default #597

0.22.1

Release date: 2022-03-24

This prerelease fixes a regression bug where alerts are sent for every reconciliation run.

Fixes:

  • Ensure event annotations are prefixed with Group FQDN #591

0.22.0

Release date: 2022-03-21

This prerelease introduces a new annotation kustomize.toolkit.fluxcd.io/ssa: merge for allowing kustomize-controller to patch cluster addons such as CoreDNS without removing the kubectl managed fields.

The source-controller dependency was updated to version v0.22 which introduces API v1beta2 and deprecates v1beta1.

In addition, various dependencies where updated to their latest versions, and the code base was refactored to align with fluxcd/pkg/runtime v0.13 release.

Improvements:

  • Allow shared ownership of in-cluster objects applied with kubectl #581
  • Update pkg/runtime and apis/meta #575
  • Update dependencies #584
  • SOPS: Add support for Azure Key Vault credentials #495

0.21.1

Release date: 2022-02-23

This prerelease comes with a workaround for an upstream bug in Kubernetes, where the keys set in a Secret with stringData are not removed from the cluster when the keys are deleted from the manifest.

Improvements:

  • Convert stringData to data before applying Secrets #576
  • Update dependencies #574

0.21.0

Release date: 2022-02-16

This prerelease comes with support for making the Kubernetes Secrets and ConfigMaps referenced in postBuild.substituteFrom optional. When substituteFrom.optional is set to true, the controller will ignore not found errors, and will substitute the variables with their default values.

Features:

  • Tolerate absence of resources in post-build substitution #570

0.20.2

Release date: 2022-02-10

This prerelease comes with an update to the sigs.k8s.io/kustomize/api package, bringing the controller on par with the Kustomize v4.5.2 release.

Kustomize v4.5.2 contains a regression bug fix for pseudo git HTTP URLs.

Improvements:

  • Update controller to kustomize v4.5.2 #567
  • Clarify spec.path in API docs #566
  • Fix typo in API docs #564

0.20.1

Release date: 2022-02-07

This prerelease comes with an update to the sigs.k8s.io/kustomize packages, bringing the controller on par with the Kustomize v4.5.1 release.

Improvements:

  • Update controller to kustomize v4.5.1 #559

Fixes:

  • Transfer ownership of the kubectl managed fields #562

0.20.0

Release date: 2022-02-01

This prerelease comes with security improvements for multi-tenant clusters:

  • Platform admins can enforce impersonation across the cluster using the --default-service-account flag. When the flag is set, all Kustomizations, which don't have spec.serviceAccountName specified, use the service account name provided by --default-service-account=<SA Name> in the namespace of the object.
  • Platform admins can disable cross-namespace references with the --no-cross-namespace-refs=true flag. When this flag is set, Kustomizations can only refer to sources (GitRepositories and Buckets) in the same namespace as the Kustomization object, preventing tenants from accessing another tenant's repositories.

The controller container images are signed with Cosign and GitHub OIDC, and a Software Bill of Materials in SPDX format has been published on the release page.

Starting with this version, the controller deployment conforms to the Kubernetes restricted pod security standard:

  • all Linux capabilities were dropped
  • the root filesystem was set to read-only
  • the seccomp profile was set to the runtime default
  • run as non-root was enabled
  • the user and group ID was set to 65534

Breaking changes:

  • The use of new seccomp API requires Kubernetes 1.19.
  • The controller container is now executed under 65534:65534 (userid:groupid). This change may break deployments that hard-coded the user ID of 'controller' in their PodSecurityPolicy.
  • When both spec.kubeConfig and spec.ServiceAccountName are specified, the controller will impersonate the service account on the target cluster, previously the controller ignored the service account.

Features:

  • Allow setting a default service account for impersonation #550
  • Allow disabling cross-namespace references #549
  • SOPS: Add support for HashiCorp Vault token-based authentication #538

Improvements:

  • Publish SBOM and sign release artifacts #541
  • Drop capabilities, enable seccomp and enforce runAsNonRoot #539
  • docs: Add var substitution operator escape syntax #537
  • Update development documentation #540
  • Refactor Fuzz implementation #536

Fixes:

  • Revoke kubectl managed fields ownership #527
  • Ensure object are finalized under impersonation #552
  • Use patch instead of update when adding finalizers #535
  • Fix preflight validation #544
  • Fix the missing protocol for the first port in manager config #547

The controller dependencies has been updated to match kustomize v4.4.1.

Improvements:

  • Verify artifacts integrity #489
  • Update controller to kustomize v4.4.1 #488

0.17.0

Release date: 2021-11-09

This prerelease comes with support for ignoring changes made to in-cluster resources by annotating them with:

kustomize.toolkit.fluxcd.io/reconcile: disabled

When the kustomize.toolkit.fluxcd.io/reconcile annotation is set to disabled, the controller will no longer apply changes from source, nor will it prune the resource. To resume reconciliation, set the annotation to enabled or remove it.

Features:

  • Allow disabling the reconciliation of in-cluster resources #484

Fixes:

  • Set delete propagation policy to background #482
  • Warn when secrets are not decrypted before apply #483

This prerelease comes with a new reconciler based on Kubernetes server-side apply and graduates the API to v1beta2.

The controller dependencies has been updated to match kustomize v4.4.0 which restores the usage of YAML anchors.

Breaking changes

  • Namespaced objects must contain metadata.namespace, defaulting to the default namespace is no longer supported. Setting a namespace for all objects reconciled by a Kustomization can be done with spec.targetNamespace.

  • The logs, events and alerts that report Kubernetes namespaced object changes are now using the Kind/Namespace/Name format instead of Kind/Name.

  • The minimum required version of Kubernetes has changed to:

    Kubernetes version Minimum required
    v1.16 >= 1.16.11
    v1.17 >= 1.17.7
    v1.18 >= 1.18.4
    v1.19 and later >= 1.19.0

Features and Improvements

  • Being able to validate and reconcile sources that contain both CRDs and CRs.
  • Being able to wait for all the applied resources to become ready without requiring users to fill-in the health check list.
  • Improve performance (CPU, memory, network, FD usage) and reduce the number of calls to Kubernetes API by replacing kubectl execs with a specialized applier written in Go.
  • Detect and report drift between the desired state (git, s3, etc) and cluster state reliably.
  • Improve the overall observably of the reconciliation process by reporting in real-time the garbage collection and health assessment actions.
  • Reconcile empty sources including pruning of all the resources previously applied.
  • Mask secrets data in logs, events and alerts.

API changes

The kustomize.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta2 API is backwards compatible with v1beta1.

Additions, deprecations and removals:

  • .spec.patchesStrategicMerge deprecated in favour of .spec.patches
  • .spec.patchesJson6902 deprecated in favour of .spec.patches
  • .spec.validation deprecated and no longer used (server-side validation is implicit)
  • .spec.wait added (when enabled, will wait for all the reconciled resources to become ready)
  • .status.snapshot replaced by .status.inventory

Updating the manifests in Git to v1beta2 can be done at any time after the kustomize-controller upgrade. All users are encouraged to update the manifests as the deprecated fields will be removed when the next API version will be released.

0.14.1

0.13.0

Release date: 2021-06-14

This prerelease brings the controller on a par with Kustomize v4. The Kubernetes and controller-runtime dependencies have been updated to match the Kubernetes 1.21 release.

The Kustomization API has been extended with support for generic in-line patches.

Starting with this version, the controller uses an annotation instead of a label to keep track of removed manifests from source. Please consult the garbage collection docs for more details.

Breaking changes:

  • Due to the removal of hashicorp/go-getter from Kustomize v4, the set of URLs accepted by Kustomize in the resources filed is reduced to only file system paths or values compatible with git clone. This means you can no longer use resources from archives (zip, tgz, etc).
  • YAML anchors are no longer supported in Kustomize v4, see kustomize/issues/3675 for more details.
  • Due to a bug in Kustomize v4, if you have non-string keys in your manifests, the controller will fail with json: unsupported type error.

Features:

  • Add support for in-line generic patches to Flux Kustomization API #364

Improvements:

  • Upgrade controller to Kustomize v4 #343
  • Move the GC checksum from labels to annotations #362

Fixes:

  • Fix reconciliation retry scheduler #256

0.7.0

Release date: 2021-01-22

This is the seventh MINOR prerelease.

An optional field was added spec.retryInterval that allows users to requeue a failed reconciliation at a different interval than spec.Interval.

The LocalObjectReference from the Kubernetes core has been replaced with our own, making Name a required field. The impact of this should be limited to direct API consumers only, as the field was already required by controller logic.
