v1.0.0-alpha.1

For documentation on this release, please visit https://master.sdk.operatorframework.io.

This site tracks the master branch, so documentation updates based on feedback from this alpha release will automatically be reflected until v1.0.0 is released.

Additions

• The snakeCaseParameters option has been added to the watches.yaml for Ansible-based Operators. This allows the user to configure whether parameters in the resource spec are automatically converted from camelCase to snake_case. The default is true, so there is no behavior change for existing operators, but it can now be disabled. (#3245)
• Added projectName key to the PROJECT config file (v3-alpha+). (#3438)
• Added the --from-version flag to generate packagemanifests. (#3509)
• The generate bundle command now adds scorecard bundle metadata to bundle.Dockerfile and annotations.yaml if --overwrite is set (the default in a project's Makefile) or both files do not exist. (#3474)
• Added config/scorecard kustomize scaffolds to init. (#3490)

Changes

• Use structured logging in Ansible and Helm operator base images when printing version information. (#3564)
• The Ansible and Helm-based operators now use the controller-runtime's lease-based leader election instead of SDK's leader-for-life mechanism. (#3457) & (#3446)
• Breaking change: Added --metrics-addr flag to the Ansible and Helm-based operators to make it configurable, and changed the default port from :8383 to :8080. (#3489) & (#3440)
• Breaking change: Changed domain suffix used for plugins and CR annotations to consistently use .sdk.operatorframework.io. (#3527)
• Breaking change: Removed the implementation for EnqueueRequestForAnnotation handler from the SDK repository and referenced it from operator-lib instead. (#3506)
• Breaking change: The Ansible operator implementation in pkg/ansible was moved to internal/ansible. (#3560)
• Breaking change: The Helm operator implementation in pkg/helm was moved to internal/helm. (#3537)
• Breaking change: The Ansible operator's --max-workers flag and WORKERS_<Kind>_<Group> environment variable have been renamed to --max-concurrent-reconciles and MAX_CONCURRENT_RECONCILES_<Kind>_<Group> respectively. (#3452)
• Breaking change: The meta variable passed to Ansible playbooks and roles has been renamed to ansible_operator_meta. (#3562)
• Breaking change: The scorecard configuration is now implemented as a componentconfig object and now includes a new top-level stages field, which allows users to define stages of tests and to enable parallelism within each stage. (#3490) & (#3434)
• When a namespace is not provided on the command line, the scorecard command now looks for a namespace in the kubeconfig. If a namespace can not be found in the kubeconfig file, then 'default' is used. (#3478)
• Use on-disk bundle metadata in scorecard (either unpacked from an image or directly if a directory is passed) as the source of truth for bundle metadata, and not image labels which are informative only. (#3450)
• Breaking change: The alpha scorecard command has been promoted to the standard scorecard command. (#3444)
• Breaking change: Changed scorecard text and json output to use a v1alpha3.TestList instead of aggregating all test results under a single v1alpha3.Test and set exit status to 1 when a test fails. (#3427)
• Ansible & Helm-based Operators switched to using the InstrumentedEnqueueRequestForObject from operator-lib instead of controller-runtime's EnqueueRequestForObject. (#3523)

Removals

• Breaking change: Removed support for the legacy layout. Operator SDK has a new CLI and project layout that is aligned with Kubebuilder. (#3327) (#3343) (#3547) (#3566) (#3343) (#3466) (#3531) (#3451) (#3414) (#3414) (#3414) (#3414) (#3385) (#3406)
• Breaking change: Moved pkg/log/zap to internal/log/zap, therefore it is no longer a public API. (#3525)
• Breaking change: Removed pkg/predicate: ResourceFilterPredicate. (#3532)
• Breaking change: Refactored and moved pkg/predicate.GenerationChangedPredicate (see this operator-lib PR for details). (#3532)
• Breaking change: Removed test subcommand and the test framework pkg/test. (#3409)
• Breaking change: Removed pkg/k8sutils and its helpers methods GetWatchNamespace(), GetOperatorNamespace(), GetOperatorName(), ResourceExists(), GetPod(), GetGVKsFromAddToScheme() and SupportsOwnerReference(). (#3475)
• Breaking change: Removed pkg/kube-metrics and its associated helpers NewNamespacedMetricsStores(), NewClusterScopedMetricsStores(), ServeMetrics(), and GenerateAndServeCRMetrics(). (#3484)
• Breaking change: Removed pkg/leader and pkg/status. These are now part of operator-lib. (#3503)
• Breaking change: Removed pkg/metrics and its helpers GenerateAndServeCRMetrics() and GetNamespacesForMetrics(). (#3484)
• Breaking change: Removed pkg/ready and its helper utils Ready, Set(), Unset(). (#3476)
• Breaking change: Removed pkg/tls since that pkg is a leftover from an earlier effort to make certificate management easier, but was abandoned in favor of alternatives like cert-manager. (#3468)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug that caused the Ansible operator not to set the environment variables ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH and ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATH based on the flags --ansible-roles-path and --ansible-collections-path. (#3549)
• Use group and kind instead of only kind when parsing manifests in the CSV generator to avoid marshaling them into the wrong Go types. (#3334)
• Fixed issue that caused scorecard to fail loading local bundle due to a bug search method for the bundle metadata directory. (#3408)
• Fixed CVE-2020-14040 by updating to golang.org/x/text/0.3.3. (#3458)
• The scorecard subcommand now removes existing pods if the --wait-time deadline is exceeded and --skip-cleanup=false (the default). Fixes #3419. (#3526)
• Fixed a bug in scorecard that caused tests to fail with permission errors when loading the bundle. (#3428)

v0.19.1

For documentation on this release, please visit https://v0-19-x.sdk.operatorframework.io/.

Additions

• Added the --from-version flag to generate packagemanifests. (#3524)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug that caused the Ansible operator not to set the environment variables ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH and ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATH based on the flags --ansible-roles-path and --ansible-collections-path. (#3565)

v0.19.0

Note: this release includes ansible-operator and helm-operator binaries built for all corresponding image build architectures. See #3327 for details.

Additions

• Add "panic" level for --zap-stacktrace-level (allows "debug", "info", "error", "panic"). (#3040)
• The operator-sdk binary has a new CLI workflow and project layout for scaffolding Go operators that is aligned with Kubebuilder's CLI and project layout. See the new Quickstart Guide and the new CLI reference for more details. (#3190)
• bundle validate can now use a containerd image ("none") tool to unpack images, removing the need for an external image tool like docker/podman. (#3222)
• The SDK scorecard command adds a new test image, scorecard-test-kuttl, that allows end users to write and execute kuttl based tests. (#3278)
• Add "--olm-namespace" flag to olm subcommands (install, uninstall) to allow users to specify the namespace where olm is to be installed or uninstalled. (#3300)
• Add sdk annotations to bundle resources (CSVs, annotations.yaml and bundle.dockerfile). (#3120)
• Add "--version" flag to olm subcommands (uninstall, status) to allow users to override the version of olm inferred from packageserver's CSV. (#3279)
• Alias run packagemanifests as run pm. (#3314)
• Add generate kustomize manifests subcommand for new project layouts. (#3258)
• Add generate packagemanifests subcommand for legacy project layouts. (#3149)
• Add generate packagemanifests subcommand for new project layouts. (#3096)
• Added predicate filtering function for labels based on selectors specified in watches.yaml. Events of resources that match the selector's labels will be skipped. (#3275)
• Add builds for ansible-operator and helm-operator binaries. (#3363)
• Add new scorecard APIVersion "osdk.openshift.io/v1alpha3" and types. (#3125)

Changes

• Breaking change: Prevent the ansible-operator from mangling variables containing the uppercase representations of special words (e.g IP, HTTP, etc). (#3265)
• Breaking change: In Helm-based operators, the UpdateSuccessful condition reason was renamed to UpgradeSuccessful to better align with Helm nomenclature. (#3345)
• Breaking change: In Helm-based operators, the UpdateError condition reason was renamed to UpgradeError to better align with Helm nomenclature. (#3269)
• Upgrade Helm dependency for Helm based-Operators from v3.2.0 to v3.2.4 in order to fix CVE-2020-4053. (#3313)
• Change default value of --overwrite flag in operator-sdk generate bundle to true. (#3280)
• The scorecard-test-kuttl image was updated to be based off the v0.5.1 version of kudobuilder/kuttl. This update fixes bugs found in kuttl v0.5.0. (#3369)
• The alpha scorecard subcommand now outputs results as a scorecard.operatorframework.io/v1alpha3 Test instead of a scorecard.operatorframework.io/v1alpha2 ScorecardOutput. As a result, the --list argument will now just output a list of tests, without associated labels. (#3208)

Removals

• The operator-sdk new command no longer supports scaffolding new Go projects with the --type=Go flag. To scaffold new projects, users are expected to use operator-sdk init as part of the new CLI for Go operators. (#3190)

Deprecations

• With the introduction of the new Kubebuilder aligned CLI and project layout for Go operators, the old CLI will still continue to work for Go projects scaffolded in the old layout with operator-sdk new. However the old CLI is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. (#3190)
• The migrate sub-command is deprecated. (#3319)
• Deprecate 'operator-sdk add crd'. Use 'operator-sdk add api' instead. (#3180)
• bundle create is deprecated in favor of a combination of generate bundle and docker build -f bundle.Dockerfile .... (#3323)
• generate csv is deprecated in favor of generate bundle or generate packagemanifests. (#3322)
• The flag --git-init in the new command was deprecated. (#3241)

Bug Fixes

• Fix leader election of follower showing that an old leader will be evicted when the current leader is healthy. (#3059)
• Fix bug in operator-sdk bundle validation that causes erroneous validation errors when the number of annotations in an existing annotations.yaml does not equal the number of default bundle annotations by upgrading the operator-registry dependency. (#3221)
• Fix the download URL for the tini binary on ARM64 for the ansible operator base image. (#3234)
• The generate crds subcommand now checks for the existence of the pkg/apis directory and logs a descriptive fatal error message if it does not exist or is not a directory. (#3091)
• Fix bug in bundle validate that erroneously causes errors when a CRD manifest contains versions not present in a bundled CSV by bumping the api library version. (#3282)
• Bump api validation library to fix "CRD key not found" validation bug. (#3154)

v0.17.2

Bug Fixes

• Fix the download URL for the tini binary on ARM64 for the ansible operator base image. (#3291)

• Fix the download URL for the tini binary on ARM64 for the ansible operator base image. (#3286)
• Fix bug in bundle validate that erroneously causes errors when a CRD manifest contains versions not present in a bundled CSV by bumping the api library version. (#3288)

v0.18.1

Bug Fixes

• Fix leader election of follower showing that an old leader will be evicted when the current leader is healthy. (#3164)
• Bump api validation library to fix "CRD key not found" validation bug. (#3167)

v0.18.0

Additions

• The Ansible operator now includes a healthz endpoint and liveness probe. All operators will now have a running healthz endpoint (not publicly exposed) without changes. (#2936)
• Adds the ability for Helm operators to properly watch and reconcile when cluster-scoped release resources are changed. (#2987)
• The CSV generator adds admission webhook config manifests present in --deploy-dir to new and existing CSV manifests. (#2729)
• Add 'run packagemanifests' subcommand, which has the same functionality of the deprecated 'run --olm' mode. (#3016)
• 'bundle generate' generates bundles for current project layouts; this has the same behavior as 'generate csv --make-manifests=true'. (#3088)
• Set a default channel to the channel supplied to 'bundle create --channels=' if exactly one channel is set. (#3124)
• Add '--kubeconfig' flag to '<run|cleanup> packagemanifests'. (#3067)
• Add support for additional API creation for Anisble/Helm based operators. (#2703)
• Add flag --interactive to the command operator-sdk generate csv in order to enable working with interactive prompts while generating CSV. (#2891)
• Add new hidden alpha flag --output to print the result of operator-sdk bundle validate in JSON format to stdout. Logs are printed to stderr. (#3011)
• Add 'run local' subcommand, which has the same functionality of the deprecated 'run --local' mode. (#3067)
• Add scorecard-test image push targets into Makefile. (#3107)

Changes

• In Helm-based operators, reconcile logic now uses three-way strategic merge patches for native kubernetes objects so that array patch strategies are correctly honored and applied. (#2869)
• 'bundle validate' will print errors and warnings from validation. (#3083)
• Breaking change: Set bundle dir permissions to 0755 so they can be read by in-cluster tooling. (#3129)
• Breaking change: Changed the default CRD version from apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1 to apiextensions.k8s.io/v1 for commands that create or generate CRDs. (#2874)
• Changed default API version for new Helm-based operators to helm.operator-sdk/v1alpha1. The k8s.io domain is reserved, so CRDs should not use it without explicit appproval. See the API Review Process for details. (#2859)
• Breaking change: Updated Kubernetes dependencies to v1.18.2. (#2918)
• Breaking change: Updated controller-runtime to v0.6.0. (#2918)
• Updated controller-tools to v0.3.0. (#2918)
• Updated helm to v3.2.0. (#2918)

Removals

• Breaking change: The inotify-tools as a dependency of Ansible based-operator images which was deprecated and it will no longer scaffold the /bin/ao-logs which was using it to print the Ansible logs in the side-car since the side-car ansible container was removed in the previous versions. (#2852)
• Breaking change: Removed automatic migration of helm releases from v2 to v3. (#2918)
• Breaking change: Removed support for deprecated helm release naming scheme. (#2918)

Deprecations

• Deprecate 'run --olm' mode. Use 'run packagemanifests' instead. (#3016)
• Deprecate '--kubeconfig' flag on the 'cleanup' subcommand. Use 'run packagemanifests' instead. (#3067)
• Deprecate 'run --local' mode. Use 'run local' instead. (#3067)

Bug Fixes

• The Ansible Operator proxy will now return a 500 if it cannot determine whether a resource is virtual or not, instead of continuing on and skipping the cache. This will prevent resources that should have ownerReferences injected from being created without them, which would leave the user in a state that cannot be recovered without manual intervention. (#3112)
• The Ansible Operator proxy no longer will attempt to cache non-status subresource requests. This will fix the issue where attempting to get Pod logs returns the API Pod resource instead of the log contents. (#3103)
• Fix issue faced when the healthz endpoint is successfully called. (#3102)

v0.17.1

Note: using this release as a Go module will result in checksum errors. Use v0.17.2 or above instead.

Changes

• Revert deprecation of the package manifests format. See #2755 for deprecation details. The package manifests format is still officially supported by the Operator Framework. (#2944, #3014, #3023)

Bug Fixes

• Fixes issue where the helm.operator-sdk/upgrade-force annotation value for Helm based-operators is not parsed. (#2894)
• In 'run --olm', package manifests format must be replicated in a pod's file system for consistent registry initialization. (#2964)
• The internal OLM client retrieves existing OLM versions correctly now that the returned list of CSVs is indexed properly. (#2969)
• Fixed issue to convert variables with numbers for Ansible based-operator. (#2842)
• Added timeout to the Ansible based-operator proxy, which enables error reporting for requests that fail due to RBAC permissions issues to List and Watch the resources. (#2264)
• CSV manifests read from disk are now properly marshaled into the CSV struct. (#3015)
• Helm operator now applies its uninstall finalizer only when a release is deployed. This fixes a bug that caused the CR to be unable to be deleted without manually intervening to delete a prematurely added finalizer. (#3039)

v0.17.0

v0.17.0

Added

• Added support for generating kube-state-metrics metrics for cluster-scoped resources. Also added pkg/kubemetrics.NewNamespacedMetricsStores and pkg/kubemetrics.NewClusterScopedMetricsStores to support this new feature. (#2809)
• Added the generate csv --deploy-dir --apis-dir --crd-dir flags to allow configuring input locations for operator manifests and API types directories to the CSV generator in lieu of a config. See the CLI reference doc or generate csv -h help text for more details. (#2511)
• Added the generate csv --output-dir flag to allow configuring the output location for the catalog directory. (#2511)
• The flag --watch-namespace and --operator-namespace was added to operator-sdk run --local, operator-sdk test --local and operator-sdk cleanup commands in order to replace the flag --namespace which was deprecated.(#2617)
• The methods ctx.GetOperatorNamespace() and ctx.GetWatchNamespace() was added pkg/test in order to replace ctx.GetNamespace() which is deprecated. (#2617)

• The printout for the compatible Kubernetes Version #2446
• The --output-dir flag instructs operator-sdk bundle create to write manifests and metadata to a non-default directory. (#2715)
• The --overwrite flag instructs operator-sdk bundle create to overwrite metadata, manifests, and bundle.Dockerfile. (#2715)
• operator-sdk bundle validate now accepts either an image tag or a directory arg. If the arg is a directory, its children must contain a manifests/ and a metadata/ directory. (#2737)
• Add support to release SDK arm64 binaries and images. (#2742)
• Add annotation helm.operator-sdk/upgrade-force: "True" to allow force resources replacement (helm upgrade --force) for Helm based-operators. (#2773)

• Breaking Change: operator-sdk bundle create now creates a manifests/ directory under the parent directory of the argument passed to --directory, and setting --generate-only=true writes a Dockerfile to <project-root>/bundle.Dockerfile that copies bundle manifests from that manifests/ directory. (#2715)
• Upgrade Kind used for tests for Ansible based-operators from 1.16 to 1.17. (#2753)
• Breaking Change: Upgrade Molecule for Ansible-based operators from 2.22 to 3.0.2. For instructions on upgrading your project to use the V3 Molecule version see here. (#2749)
• Breaking Change: Changed Conditions from map[ConditionType]Condition to []Condition. (#2739)
• Setting operator-sdk generate csv --output-dir will search the output directory for bundles before searching the default location. (#2776)

v0.16.0

Added

• Add a new option to set the minimum log level that triggers stack trace generation in logs (--zap-stacktrace-level) (#2319)
• Added pkg/status with several new types and interfaces that can be used in Status structs to simplify handling of status conditions. (#1143)
• Added support for relative Ansible roles and playbooks paths in the Ansible-based operator watches files. (#2273)
• Added watches file support for roles that were installed as Ansible collections. (#2587)
• Add Prometheus metrics support to Ansible-based operators. (#2179)
• On generate csv, populate a CSV manifest’s spec.icon, spec.keywords, and spec.mantainers fields with empty values to better inform users how to add data. (#2521)
• Scaffold code in cmd/manager/main.go for Go operators and add logic to Ansible/Helm operators to handle multinamespace caching if WATCH_NAMESPACE contains multiple namespaces. (#2522)
• Add a new flag option (--skip-cleanup-error) to the test framework to allow skip the function which will remove all artefacts when an error be faced to perform this operation. (#2512)
• Add event stats output to the operator logs for Ansible based-operators. (2580)
• Improve Ansible logs by allowing output the full Ansible result for Ansible based-operators configurable by environment variable. (2589)
• Add the --max-workers flag to the commands operator-sdk exec-entrypoint and operator-sdk run --local for Helm based-operators with the purpose of controling the number of concurrent reconcile workers. (2607)
• Add the --proxy-port flag to the operator-sdk scorecard command allowing users to override the default proxy port value (8889). (2634)
• Add support for Metrics with MultiNamespace scenario. (#2603)
• Add Prometheus metrics support to Helm-based operators. (#2603)

Changed

• The base image now includes version 0.10.3 of the OpenShift Python client. This should fix hanging in Python3
• The Kubernetes modules have migrated to the Kubernetes Ansible collection. All scaffolded code now references modules from this collection instead of Ansible Core. No immediate action is required for existing users of the modules from core, though it is recommended they switch to using the collection to continue to get non-critical bugfixes and features. To install the collection, users will need to add the install step to their build/Dockerfile. New projects will have a requirements.yml scaffolded that includes the community.kubernetes collection, as well as the corresponding install step in the build/Dockerfile. (#2646)
• Breaking change The operator_sdk.util collection is no longer installed by default in the base image. Existing projects will need to install it in the build/Dockerfile. New projects will have a requirements.yml scaffolded that includes the operator_sdk.util collection, as well as the corresponding install step in the build/Dockerfile. (#2652)
• Ansible scaffolding has been rewritten to be simpler and make use of newer features of Ansible and Molecule. (#2425)
  • No longer generates the build/test-framework directory or molecule/test-cluster scenario
  • Adds new cluster scenario that can be used to test against an existing cluster
  • There is no longer any Ansible templating done in the deploy/ directory, any templates used for testing will be located in molecule/templates/ instead.
  • The scaffolded molecule.yml files now use the Ansible verifier. All asserts.yml files were renamed to verify.yml to reflect this.
  • The prepare/converge/verify tasks now make use of the new k8s wait option to simplify the deployment logic.
• Operator user setup and entrypoint scripts no longer insert dynamic runtime user entries into /etc/passwd. To use dynamic runtime users, use a container runtime that supports it (e.g. CRI-O). (#2469)
• Changed the scorecard basic test, Writing into CRs has an effect, to include the http.MethodPatch as part of its test criteria alongside http.MethodPut and http.MethodPost. (#2509)
• Changed the scorecard to use the init-timeout configuration setting as a wait time when performing cleanup instead of a hard-coded time. (#2597)
• Upgrade the Helm dependency version from v3.0.1 to v3.0.2. (#2621)
• Changed the scaffolded serveCRMetrics to use the namespaces informed in the environment variable WATCH_NAMESPACE in the MultiNamespace scenario. (#2603)
• Improve skip metrics logs when running the operator locally in order to make clear the information for Helm based operators. (#2603)

Deprecated

• The type name TestCtx in pkg/test has been deprecated and renamed to Context. It now exists only as a type alias to maintain backwards compatibility. Users of the e2e framework should migrate to use the new name, Context. The TestCtx alias will be removed in a future version. (2549)

• The additional of the dependency inotify-tools on Ansible based-operator images. (#2586)

• Breaking Change: The scorecard feature now only supports YAML config files. So, any config file with other extension is deprecated and should be changed for the YAML format. For further information see scorecard config file (#2591)

Removed

• Breaking Change: The additional Ansible sidecar container. (#2586)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue with Go dependencies caused by removed tag in openshift/api repository (#2466)
• Fixed a regression in the operator-sdk run command that caused --local flags to be ignored (#2478)
• Fix command operator-sdk run --local which was not working on Windows. (#2481)
• Fix ServiceMonitor creation when the operator is cluster-scoped and the environment variable WATCH_NAMESPACE has a different value than the namespace where the operator is deployed. (#2601)
• Fix error faced when the ansible.operator-sdk/verbosity annotation for Ansible based-operators is 0 or less. (#2651)
• Fix missing error status when the error faced in the Ansible do not return an event status. (#2661)

Note:

• See how to upgrade your project to the version v0.16.0 by checking the Version Upgrade Guide
• The release binaries have been updated to print the correct version. See #2724
