Release Date: 2020-10-15 // over 3 years ago
  • edge-20.10.3

    ๐Ÿš€ This edge release is a release candidate for stable-2.9.0. It overhauls the
    discovery and routing logic implemented by the proxy, simplifies the way that
    ๐Ÿ”— Linkerd stores configuration, and adds new Helm values to configure additional
    labels, annotations, and namespace selectors for webhooks.

    • โž• Added podLabels and podAnnotations Helm values to allow adding additional
      labels or annotations to Linkerd control plane pods (thanks @tustvold!)
    • โž• Added namespaceSelector Helm value for configuring the namespace selector
      ๐Ÿ‘‰ used by admission webhooks (thanks @tustvold!)
    • Expanded the 'linkerd edges' command to show TCP connections
    • Overhauled the discovery and routing logic implemented by the proxy:
      • The l5d-dst-override header is no longer honored
      • When the application attempts to connect to a pod IP, the proxy no
        longer load balances these requests among all pods in the service.
        The proxy will now honor session-stickiness as selected by an
        application-level load balancer
      • TrafficSplits are only applied when a client targets a service's IP
      • The proxy no longer performs DNS "canonicalization" to translate
        relative host header names to a fully-qualified form
    • ๐Ÿ”ง Simplified the way that Linkerd stores its configuration. Configuration is
      now stored as Helm values in the linkerd-config ConfigMap
    • ๐Ÿ“‡ Renamed the --addon-config flag to --config to clarify this flag can be used
      to set any Helm value
