Release 1.6.4

Enhancements and new features

Adding support for SL Micro

Starting from Elemental Operator v1.6.4 the default channels include SL Micro 6.0 OS images.

Drain nodes by default on upgrade

For simplicity Elemental Operator now drains nodes by default on upgrades as this the common setup in the vast majority of cases.

Channels pointing to specific builds of the OS images

With this new version of Elemental Operator channels refer to specific builds of the OS images. OS images are being rebuild based on SL Micro updates and those new rebuilds are periodically added to the default channel. The default channel will track only three of the most recent rebuilds.

In addition, ManagedOSVersions include a new flag to showcase if that specific version is still listed within the channel. Finally, ManagedOSVersionChannel resources also include a new toggle to remove any ManagedOSVersion that is no longer in sync.

Allow yip configuration syntax

Elemental project relies on yip for the cloud-init style configuration. By default cloud-config fields in resources used to assume cloud-init syntax was in use, however with the current version it also supports its own format based on yip's syntax.

Fixes:

  • Allow dots in the hostnames / MachineInventory names #679
  • Added the ability to create a node reset marker for unmanaged hosts #737

Release 1.5.1

Enhancements and new features

Support upgrades in ManagedOSImage resources

Starting form Elemental Operator v1.5.1 upgrades on ManagedOSImage resources cause an update to the associated Fleet and System Upgrade Controller plans. This allows reusing the same ManagedOSImage resource to upgrade more than once to different versions. With this change keeping a single Upgrade Group which can be updated to rollout new versions as they are available is possible.

Hauler support in airgap helper scripts

Helper scripts for Airgap include support for Hauler.

Machine Inventories are collecting OS data as annotations

MachineInventories are updated with OS specific data on node registration. OSes including elemental-register >= 1.5 include values from /etc/os-release as annotations when registering. This is helpful to track OS specific details such as OS version for each registered node.

Support to build raw disks in SeedImages

SeedImage resources are now capable to build ISO and Raw disks. Raw images can be copied directly to a hard disk and a preinstalled system will directly boot into recovery system to expand and created required partitions and also register the node to the upstream cluster. See SeedImage reference in the documentation.

Fixes

  • Airgap script fixes: #654
  • Channel synchronization fixes: #648 #638
