Release Notes

1.8.3​

15 Jun, 2023

Bugfixes​

1.8.1​

24 May, 2023

Bugfixes​

1.8.0​

10 May, 2023

Before you upgrade​

Okteto 1.8 includes a change in the ingress architecture. If you're using your own ingress controller instead of the ingress-controller embedded with Okteto chart, please checkout the updated section about "How to use your own ingress controller".

Breaking changes​

  • The default value for the buildkit service session affinity is now None. To keep using ClientIP as sessionAffinity you need to set service.sessionAffinity: ClientIP in your buildkit configuration.

Deprecation Notice​

  • Support for Kubernetes 1.22 has been deprecated and will be removed in the next release.

Features​

  • Kubernetes supported versions: 1.25 (upgrade guide), 1.24 and 1.23.
  • Support for custom labels and annotations in ingresses managed by Okteto.
  • Upgraded the Okteto CLI version to 2.15.2
    • Okteto CLI 2.15.2 enables the optimisation removed at Okteto CLI 2.14.3. Now we calculate a hash for a given commit with the info around the build.
  • Oketo Self-Hosted will now show the installation setup guide by default
  • External resources can now be destroyed from the Okteto UI
  • External resources now supports additional icons
  • Ingresses are now served through two ingress-controllers instances, enabling flexible configuration and improving connection stability.
    • ingress-nginx will continue to be the main gateway for all inbound traffic to Okteto, but will stop processing individual users' ingresses. Instead it will forward users' ingresses to the new okteto-nginx.
    • okteto-nginx sits behind ingress-nginx and it process exclusively users' ingresses.
    • For additional configuration of both instances, please check the ingress-controller configuration section.
  • Okteto Ingress defaultBackend is now deployed separately of ingress-nginx or okteto-nginx.

Improvements​

  • All external services created or updated by Okteto will now have the dev.okteto.com/namespace label

Bugfixes​

  • Upgraded the Okteto CLI version to 2.14.3.

1.7.0​

12 April, 2023

Removal Notice​

  • Kubernetes 1.21 is no longer supported.

Deprecation Notice​

The cloud.provider and cloud.secret keys in the Helm chart are now deprecated and they will be removed in the future 2.x release. Instead, you can now use registry.storage.provider and registry.secret to configure the registry to use external storage. This change is backward compatible: the old configuration keys will continue to work until they are removed in 2.x. You can follow our upgrade guide.

Features​

  • Kubernetes supported versions: 1.24, 1.23 and 1.22.
  • Support for the annotation dev.okteto.com/endpoints to customize the endpoints shown in the Okteto UI.
  • Support for configuring the service account of buildkit.

  • Upgraded ingress-nginx to 4.3.0
  • You can now delete external resources from the UI

  • The default installation of Okteto doesn't require a PVC for BuildKit. It now uses filesystem storage by default

Improvements​

  • When buildkit.ingress.enabled is true, BuildKit is exposed in the buildkit.service.port instead of port 1234. This makes it easier to use your with other ingress controllers
  • We optimized the redeploy dialog experience. Infomation loads faster in the dialog, specially when the source is GitHub
  • Improved confirmation dialogs messages
  • When your Okteto instance doesn't have an auth provider configured, the login screen shows a message with a link to the documentation on how to configure it
  • Pod Security Policies are not installed if they are not available in the cluster

  • Install and destroy jobs are retried when they fail due to transient errors during their execution
  • Avoid panics in private endpoints when the user is not authenticated
  • Sleep option is not available in the list of namespace actions when the namespace is persistent

  • Fixed a problem when destroying dev environments with a variable declared in a multiline destroy command
  • External resources were not being grouped under the corresponding dev environment when there was an error in the deployment of the environment

1.6.0​

15 March, 2023

Breaking changes​

This version comes with a breaking change. The default ingress class for ingresses managed by Okteto changed from nginx to okteto-nginx to prevent collisions with other controllers that might be already installed in the cluster. There is no action required from the user, all ingresses managed by Okteto will be automatically updated as part of the upgrade.

If you want to continue to use the previous ingress class (nginx), you can do it by setting the following values in your helm values file:

ingress:
  class: nginx
  oktetoIngressClass: nginx
ingress-nginx:
  controller:
    ingressClass: nginx
    ingressClassResource:
      name: nginx
      controllerValue: "k8s.io/ingress-nginx"

In some cases, there is a race condition recreating the controller pods in which a controller pod starts before the new ingress class is created in the cluster and that generates 404 errors when accessing Okteto or dev environments. For that reason, we recommend to rollout the ingress controller deployment to avoid this issue (kubectl rollout restart deployment <ingress-controller-deployment-name> -n okteto).

Deprecation Notice​

  • Support for Kubernetes 1.21 has been deprecated and will be removed next release.
