What's New

FederatedHPA

Introduced FederatedHPA API to address the requirements that scale workloads across clusters.
FederatedHPA works similarly to HPA in a single cluster. Karmada aggregates metrics from multiple clusters through the karmada-metrics-adaptor component and then scales Pod replicas. The scaled replicas will be distributed to multiple clusters according to the declaration of PropagationPolicy or ClusterPropagationPolicy.

See FederatedHPA Proposal for more details.

Application Failover

In a multi-cluster scenario, the fault may come from the cluster as a whole, or it may be because the application cannot adapt to a certain cluster. Users are now able to declare strategies of application failover about when and how to migrate the unhealthy application in PropagationPolicy and ClusterPropagationPolicy. Karmada will automatically migrate unhealthy applications to other available clusters to improve their availability.

See application-level failover for more details.

Karmada Operator

Karmada provides CLI tools and Helm Charts for installation and deployment in previous releases. In this release, the Karmada operator is provided as another declarative deployment method.

The Karmada operator is a method for installing, upgrading, and deleting Karmada instances. It builds upon the basic Karmada resource and controller concepts and provides convenience to centrally manage the entire lifecycle of Karmada instances in a global cluster. With the operator, users can extend Karmada with custom resources (CRs) to manage their instances not only in local clusters but also in remote clusters.

See quick start for more details.

Third-party Resource Interpreter

Karmada's Resource Interpreter Framework is designed for interpreting resource structure. It consists of built-in and customized interpreters. Karmada has bundled the following open-sourced resources so that users can save the effort to customize them, including Argo Workflow, Flux CD, Kyverno, and OpenKruise. They have been verified by the community.
