Removal Notice​

  • Kubernetes 1.21 is no longer supported.

Deprecation Notice​

The cloud.provider and cloud.secret keys in the Helm chart are now deprecated and they will be removed in the future 2.x release. Instead, you can now use registry.storage.provider and registry.secret to configure the registry to use external storage. This change is backward compatible: the old configuration keys will continue to work until they are removed in 2.x. You can follow our upgrade guide.

1.6.0​

15 March, 2023

Breaking changes​

This version comes with a breaking change. The default ingress class for ingresses managed by Okteto changed from nginx to okteto-nginx to prevent collisions with other controllers that might be already installed in the cluster. There is no action required from the user, all ingresses managed by Okteto will be automatically updated as part of the upgrade.

If you want to continue to use the previous ingress class (nginx), you can do it by setting the following values in your helm values file:

ingress:
  class: nginx
  oktetoIngressClass: nginx
ingress-nginx:
  controller:
    ingressClass: nginx
    ingressClassResource:
      name: nginx
      controllerValue: "k8s.io/ingress-nginx"

In some cases, there is a race condition recreating the controller pods in which a controller pod starts before the new ingress class is created in the cluster and that generates 404 errors when accessing Okteto or dev environments. For that reason, we recommend to rollout the ingress controller deployment to avoid this issue (kubectl rollout restart deployment <ingress-controller-deployment-name> -n okteto).

Deprecation Notice​

  • Support for Kubernetes 1.21 has been deprecated and will be removed next release.
