Highlights

• MS preflight checks to improve cluster stability (behind feature gate).
• Support for concurrent MachineDeployment upgrades in classy clusters.
• Support for add-on providers in clusterctl.
• Performance improvements when using CAPI at scale, new dev-tools and a new in-memory infrastructure provider for scale testing.
• MachinePool Machines improve MachinePool observability.
• clusterctl plugins allow custom code to be called from clusterctl.
• More metrics have been enabled through a custom Kube State Metrics config, and example Grafana, Prometheus and other observability tool configurations have been added to the repo.
• Cluster controller now avoids double rollouts during Kubernetes upgrades of classy clusters.

v1.5.0-beta.0

🚨 This is a beta release. Use it only for testing purposes. If you find any bugs, file an issue.

Highlights

Some of the hightlights in this release are:

• MS preflight checks to improve cluster stability (behind feature gate).
• Support for concurrent MachineDeployment upgrades in classy clusters.
• Support for add-on providers in clusterctl.
• Performance improvements when using CAPI at scale, new dev-tools and a new in-memory infrastructure provider for scale testing.

⚠️ Deprecation warning

The API version v1alpha3 is no longer served in this release. API version v1alpha4 is deprecated and will be removed in v1.6.

• Version migration guide
• GitHub issue #8038
• API deprecation details

Cluster API v1.4 compared to v1.5

See the Cluster-API book for an overview over relevant changes between Cluster API v1.4 and v1.5 for maintainers of providers and consumers of our Go API.
