Releases enterprise

v0.11.0​

2022-11-25

Highlights​

GitOpsTemplates​

  • We are working towards unifying CAPI and GitOps Templates under a single umbrella. For those already using CAPITemplates, we will ensure a smooth transition is possible by making use of a conversion hooks. There are some breaking changes for GitOpsTemplates as part of this transitionary period, so be sure to check the guidance under Breaking Changes.
  • We now retain the ordering of parameters in the template instead of sorting them alphabetically. Providing to the author control in what sequence the parameters are rendered in the form and thus present a more logically grouped set of parameters to the end consumer.
  • You can control what delimiters you want to use in a template. This provides flexibility for if you want to use the syntax for dynamic functions like the helper functions we support.

Pipelines​

  • This feature is now enabled by default when you install the Weave GitOps Enterprise Helm Chart. You can toggle this with the enablePipelines flag.
  • GitOpsTemplates are a highly flexible way to create new resources - including Pipelines. We now provide a shortcut on the Pipelines table view to navigate you to Templates with the weave.works/template-type=pipeline label.

Telemetry​

This release incorporates anonymous aggregate user behavior analytics to help us continuously improve the product. As an Enterprise customer, this is enabled by default. You can learn more about this here.

Dependency versions​

  • weave-gitops v0.11.0
  • cluster-controller v1.4.1
  • cluster-bootstrap-controller v0.3.0
  • (optional) pipeline-controller v0.0.11
  • (optional) policy-agent 2.1.1

Breaking changes​

GitOpsTemplates and CAPITemplates​

We are making these changes to provide a unified and intuitive self-service experience within Weave GitOps Enterprise, removing misleading and potentially confusing terminology born from when only Clusters were backed by Templates.

New API Group for the GitOpsTemplate CRD

  • old: clustertemplates.weave.works
  • new: templates.weave.works

After upgrading Weave GitOps Enterprise which includes the updated CRD:

  1. Update all your GitOpsTemplates in Git changing all occurrences of apiVersion: clustertemplates.weave.works/v1alpha1 to apiVersion: templates.weave.works/v1alpha1.
  2. Commit, push and reconcile. They should now be viewable in the Templates view again.
  3. Clean up the old CRD. As it stands:
    • kubectl get gitopstemplate -A will be empty as it is pointing to the old clustertemplates.weave.works CRD.
    • kubectl get gitopstemplate.templates.weave.works -A will work To fix the former of the commands, remove the old CRD (helm does not do this automatically for safety reasons):
    • kubectl delete crd gitopstemplates.clustertemplates.weave.works
    • You may have to wait up to 5 minutes for your local kubectl CRD cache to invalidate, then kubectl get gitopstemplate -A should be working as usual

Template Profiles / Applications / Credentials sections are hidden by default

For both CAPITemplates and GitopsTemplates the default visibility for all sections in a template has been set to "false". To re-enable profiles or applications on a template you can tweak the annotations

annotations:
  templates.weave.works/profiles-enabled: "true" # enable profiles
  templates.weave.works/kustomizations-enabled: "true" # enable applications
  templates.weave.works/credentials-enabled: "true" # enable CAPI credentials

The default values for a profile are not fetched and included in a pull-request

Prior to this release WGE would fetch the default values.yaml for every profile installed and include them in the HelmReleases in the Pull Request when rendering out the profiles of a template.

This was an expensive operation and occasionally led to timeouts.

The new behaviour is to omit the values and fall back to the defaults included in the helm-chart. This sacrifices some UX (being able to see all the defaults in the PR and tweak them) to improve performance. There should not be any final behaviour changes to the installed charts.

You can still view and tweak the values.yaml when selecting profiles to include on the "Create resource (cluster)" page. If changes are made here the updated values.yaml will be included.

⚠️ Breaking changes from v0.9.4​

If using the policy-agent included in the weave-gitops-enterprise helm chart, the configuration should now be placed under the config key.

old

policy-agent:
  enabled: true
  accountId: "my-account"
  clusterId: "my-cluster"

new

policy-agent:
  enabled: true
  config:
    accountId: "my-account"
    clusterId: "my-cluster"
