WIP: Juju 2.7.3 Release Notes

The Juju team is proud to release Juju 2.7.3!

This is primarily a bug fix release of the stable 2.7 channel., with some additional useful tweaks.

Highlights

Provider-specific

VMware vSphere: custom root folder fix

There was an issue with the support for custom root folders which landed in 2.7.2.
This release addresses an issue where an attempt was made (and rejected due to permissions) to read the datacenter/vm root folder even if a custom folder had been specified.

Kubernetes improvements

Additional Custom Resource Definition attributes supported

CustomResourceDefinitions (CRDs) now support conversion and preserveUnknownFields attributes.

Validating webhook resources

Charms can now ask to create validating webhook resources. This extends the functionality implemented within Juju 2.7.2 to support for dynamically mutating webhook resources.

Add YAML like this to the k8s specific YAML passed to Juju via the pod-spec-set hook tool:

kubernetesResources:
  validatingWebhookConfigurations:
    pod-policy.example.com:
      - name: "pod-policy.example.com"
        rules:
        - apiGroups:   [""]
          apiVersions: ["v1"]
          operations:  ["CREATE"]
          resources:   ["pods"]
          scope:       "Namespaced"
        clientConfig:
          service:
            namespace: "example-namespace"
            name: "example-service"
          caBundle: "YXBwbGVz"
        admissionReviewVersions: ["v1", "v1beta1"]
        sideEffects: None
        timeoutSeconds: 5

hostNetwork support

The hostNetwork attribute is now supported.

eg

kubernetesResources:
  pod:
    restartPolicy: OnFailure
    activeDeadlineSeconds: 10
    terminationGracePeriodSeconds: 20
    securityContext:
      runAsNonRoot: true
      supplementalGroups: [1,2]
    readinessGates:
      - conditionType: PodScheduled
    dnsPolicy: ClusterFirstWithHostNet
    hostNetwork: true

  • LP #1856832 - neutron-openvswitch charm lxc profile not getting set with correct configuration
  • LP #1855777 - segfault due to a badly formatted bundle YAML file
