Experimental

This is an experimental release which containing the most recent commits from the main branch as of commit: 64c179a.

This release might not be stable. Use at your own risk.

⚠️ The provided YAML manifest does not configure any CRDs to install by default, but is required.
You must specify the CRDs that you want to use as part of crdPattern, for example 'resources.azure.com/*;containerservice.azure.com/*;keyvault.azure.com/*;managedidentity.azure.com/*;apimanagement.azure.com/*'.

The recommended way to supply crdPattern is using asoctl template:

asoctl export template --source https://github.com/Azure/azure-service-operator/releases/download/experimental/azureserviceoperator_experimental.yaml --crd-pattern "<pattern>" | kubectl apply -f -

This release is only intended for developers wishing to try out the latest features, some of which may not be fully implemented.

It is not recommended to run the experimental release for a long period of time, as the docker image referenced by the deployment is
mcr.microsoft.com/k8s/azureserviceoperator:experimental, which is always being updated. Test what you want to test and then uninstall the operator.
Running the operator for long periods of time on the experimental tag is not supported and will likely cause problems eventually.

v2.11.0

Release notes

Breaking changes

Moved all the "ARM" variants of the CRD types into dedicated subpackages

This is only breaking for consumers of the Go package, not for users of the YAML, and only for those using the ARM types directly.

Upcoming Breaking changes

Deprecated managedclusters.containerservice.azure.com API versions

• The v1api20210501 and v1api20231102preview versions will be removed in ASO release 2.12.
• The v1api20230201 version will be removed in ASO release 2.13.

We recommend you move to use a different CRD version to avoid errors.

For more details see the breaking changes document.

Release notes

Breaking changes

MachineLearningServices/WorkspacesCompute properties marked as a SecretReference

The below properties on WorkspacesCompute has been changed from a string to a SecretReference
We always try to avoid breaking changes, but in this case, allowing raw passwords in the spec is a security problem and as such we've
decided to make a break to correct this issue.

Affected Properties:

• SslConfiguration.Key
• SslConfiguration.Cert
• VirtualMachineSshCredentials.PrivateKeyData
• VirtualMachineSshCredentials.PublicKeyData
• DatabricksProperties.DatabricksAccessToken

For more details see the breaking changes document.

Upcoming Breaking changes

We've made a number of breaking changes to properties to ensure they correctly use Secrets to store secret values.
To reduce the likelihood of future breaking changes of this type, we are working to improve our automated detection of properties that should be treated as secrets, see PR #4289.

v2.9.0

Release notes

Breaking changes

v20230202preview ManagedCluster was removed

This removal was due to the underlying Azure API version being deprecated.

Other versions will continue to be supported. We recommend you move to use a different CRD version to avoid
seeing errors from Azure due to the 2023-02-02-preview API being deprecated. This change was performed in PR #4182.

See the breaking change documentation for 2.9.0 for more details on how to deal with this, especially if you are using or have used TrustedAccessRoleBinding.

The RoleAssignment spec.delegatedManagedIdentityResourceId field has changed

This field was a string containing an ARM ID previously. It is now a genruntime.ResourceReference.

This field is not commonly used. If your RoleAssignment resources don't set this field, there is no action needed.

If your cluster has RoleAssignment resources that set this field:

• Set the serviceoperator.azure.com/reconcile-policy: detach-on-delete annotation.
• Issue kubectl delete for those RoleAssignments. They will be deleted in ASO but not Azure.
• Upgrade ASO.
• Re-apply the RoleAssignment resource with the new delegatedManagedIdentityResourceReference field set.

Upcoming Breaking changes

None.

New resources

• Add support for new Disk API version v20240302 (#4171)
• Add support for Azure RedhatOpenshift Clusters (#4152)

• Add ability to configure RoleAssignments UUID generation algorithm. Allowed options are random and stable (#4196)

Improvements

• Updated numerous dependencies
• Fix pre-release-test (#4128)
• Update local tests and CI tests to use az login token or managed identity, not service principal (#4003)

Bug fixes

• Fix bug where KeyVault with ARMID owner couldn't be recovered (#4127)
• Fix bug where 'none' crd-management mode blocked pod start (#4151)
• Fix bug where BackupVaults/BackupInstance would report ready condition before it was actually ready (#4180)
• Fix bug where owner.armId could be changed (#4193)

Documentation

• Add missing aso-controller-settings documentation (#4160)
• Add contact details to our documentation site (#4190)

v2.8.0

Release notes

Breaking changes

Use "never" rather than "" to prevent syncing for AZURE_SYNC_PERIOD

The documentation always said that an AZURE_SYNC_PERIOD of "" meant to use the default value (15m), but
in actuality in the code "" meant never sync. This corrects the behavior to be as documented. After this release,
the behavior is as follows:

AZURE_SYNC_PERIOD	Meaning
omitted/not set	Use default value (15m)
""	Use default value (15m)
"never"	Do not sync

If you intend to prevent ASO from periodically syncing with Azure, set AZURE_SYNC_PERIOD to "never".
For more information, see #3965.

containerservice.azure.com ManagedCluster property .spec.properties.windowsProfile.adminPassword is now a secret reference rather than a string

The spec.properties.windowsProfile.adminPassword on ManagedCluster has been changed from a string to a
SecretReference.
We try to avoid breaking changes, but in this case, allowing raw passwords in the spec is a security
problem and as such we've decided to make a break to correct this issue.
Action required: If the containerservice.azure.com/ManagedCluster resource is used in your cluster
and the spec.properties.windowsProfile.adminPassword property is set, follow the steps in the
breaking changes document

Upcoming Breaking changes

v20230202preview ManagedCluster will be removed, due to underlying Azure API version deprecation

Other versions will continue to be supported. We recommend you move to use a different CRD version to avoid
seeing errors from Azure due to the 2023-02-02-preview API being deprecated.

Documentation

Full Changelog: v2.7.0...v2.8.0

v2.7.0

Release notes

Breaking changes

Metrics endpoint has changed from 8080 to 8443 and now requires HTTPS

ASO no longer depends on kube-rbac-proxy and now correctly secures the metrics endpoint by default.

These options are configured via the following options in the Helm chart:

    --set metrics.secure=true/false (default: true)
    --set metrics.address=0.0.0.0:8443 (default)

For more details about how to scrape metrics, see the metrics guide.

Secret or ConfigMap values which cannot be written now trigger a reconcile error

Previously, if ASO couldn't find the corresponding secret/configmap value, it would just skip creating it with no error. This is almost
never what users expect: if they ask for a specific ConfigMap or Secret value to be exported they expect it to actually get exported. ASO now
behaves as expected in cases where it cannot find the value to export and will set an appropriate Ready condition warning.

See #3925 for more details.
