Release Notes for KubeSlice EE 0.7.0

Release Date: 22nd March 2023

KubeSlice is a cloud-independent platform that combines network, application, Kubernetes, and deployment services in a framework to accelerate application deployment in a multi-cluster and multi-tenant environment. KubeSlice achieves this by creating logical application slice boundaries which allow pods and services to communicate seamlessly across clusters, clouds, edges, and data centers.

We continue to add new features and enhancements to KubeSlice.

What's New

These release notes describe the new changes and enhancements in this version.

Enhancements

Simplified Cluster Registration

The KubeSlice Manager has simplified the process of registering worker clusters by reducing the number of input fields required during registration. You can register a worker cluster with a controller by providing a few parameters, such as the cluster name, the cloud name, and the cluster Kube API endpoint. KubeSlice will automatically detect the Node IP during cluster registration. If you want to provide a specific Node IP, you can do so in the Show advanced options section. You can also provide the Prometheus URL after cluster registration by editing the cluster configuration.

Removal of the cert-manager Dependency

The cert-manager is no longer required to install the KubeSlice Controller on the controller cluster. With this version, the KubeSlice Controller supports upward compatibility. This means that the cert-manager installed does not have any impact on the KubeSlice Controller. However, the cert-manager is still required for the version 0.6.1 and older versions of the KubeSlice Controller to work.
