v0.10.0
Changelog since v0.8
You might notice that there is no version 0.9 of Shipper. This is
because in version 0.9, we tried to split Shipper into two components
(shipper-mgmt
andshipper-app
) which would run in management and
application clusters respectively. However, that version was behaving
erratically in a way that was hard to predict and debug. After
spending months trying to patch all the holes, we decided to forgo the
separation for now and move on with the development of other features.Please note that this means that Shipper is still one component,
running only in the management cluster.
Breaking Changes
- Shipper now uses different names for its service accounts, roles,
rolebindings and clusterrolebindings. Refer to the migrating to Shipper 0.10
section for more information on how to migrate to
the new version safely.
Improvements
Shipperctl admin clusters apply
is split into multiple commands,
so that each operation can be done separately. For example, this
allows operators to only set up the application clusters, without
touching the management cluster (#358)- It is now possible to create backups and restore backups using
shipperctl backup
commands (#372). - Shipper now rejects all modifications to the
environment
field of
all releases. This fixes an issue where users would modify this
field and cause an unsupported behavior (#357) - Shipper now exposes metrics on the health of the webhook. For now,
that includes the time that the SSL certificate expires, and a secondly
heartbeat (#366) - Shipperctl now creates and modifies the webhook with the failure
policy set toFail
(#366. This means that the webhook
becomes a very important piece of the user experience, and we
suggest you monitor the Shipper webhook's health using the metrics
mentioned above.
Migrating to 0.10
- Run
shipperctl clusters setup management
,shipperctl clusters join
to create the
relevant CRDs, service accounts and RBAC objects - Make sure your context is set to the management cluster, and apply
the Shipper 0.10 deployment object by doingkubectl apply -f https://github.com/bookingcom/shipper/releases/download/v0.10.0/shipper.deployment.v0.10.0.yaml
and for shipper-state-metricskubectl apply -f https://github.com/bookingcom/shipper/releases/download/v0.10.0/shipper-state-metrics.deployment.v0.10.0.yaml
- Start monitoring the health of the webhook. You can use the
shipper_webhook_health_expire_time_epoch
and
shipper_webhook_health_heartbeat
Prometheus metrics.
Reverting to 0.8
- Remove the Shipper deployments on management cluster
- Run
shipperctl
0.8 to revert service accounts and cluster role objects
to the state that Shipper 0.8
expects them to be in - Create the Shipper deployment on the management cluster with the
relevant image tag,v0.8.2
