The main focus for this release was around our Kubernetes service. With this
release the Catalyst Cloud Kubernetes service has been promoted to a Beta
status.
This release introduced the following new functionality and improvements.
It is now possible to perform a rolling-upgrade of the Kubernetes
version of a running cluster with minimum to no impact on running
applications.
Cluster Auto healing is a feature of the Kubernetes service that
monitors the health state of the cluster and automatically repairs
Kubernetes’ components or nodes.
Cluster Auto Scaling allows a cluster to dynamically increase or
reduce the number of worker nodes, according their current resource
allocation
As a security best practice, Kubernetes clusters are now created in a private
network and are not visible from the Internet by default. If desirable,
exposing the Kubernetes API to the internet is a simple additional step
documented on the Private cluster section of the documentation.
Cluster User Access roles were added to provide a
mechanism for handling cluster authentication and authorization based on the
cloud user’s login and associated roles.
The following new cluster template versions were introduced. The
v.1.xx.xx tag in the template name refers to the associated Kubernetes
version that will be deployed in the cluster by the template.
kubernetes-v1.12.10-dev-20190912
kubernetes-v1.12.10-prod-20190912
kubernetes-v1.13.10-dev-20190912
